| | Amazon.co.uk: Star Trek 5 : The Final Frontier - Special Edition (2 discs) [1989]: DVD: William Shatner,Leonard ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14) |
 | | Granted there are a few too many yawning plot holes along the way, and the general tone is over-earnest (despite some painfully slapstick comedy moments), but the interaction of the central trio (Kirk, Spock and McCoy) is often funny and genuinely insightful; while Laurence Luckinbill is a charismatic adversary as the renegade Vulcan Sybok. |
 | | For a first-time director Shatner utilises some awesome cinematography, there are superb displays from Shatner, Nimoy and Kelley, Lawrence Luckinbill gives a layered performance as Spock's half-brother-turned-religious-manic, and some deep philosophical issues are at least raised, if not entirely satisfactorily explored. |
 | | Most people reading this will be Trek fans anyway, but if you are say looking to build up a Trek movie collection and thinking of giving this one a miss due to some of the other (unfairly) negative reviews, my advice would be to get it and make up your own mind. |
