Starring: The same cast from the previous four films...and David Warner
More info: IMDb
Tagline: The Enterprise is back. This time, have they gone too far?
Plot: Capt. Kirk and his crew must deal with Mr. Spock's half brother who hijacks the Enterprise for an obsessive search for God.
My rating: 7/10
Will I watch it again? No.
Trek fan phantomedit2001, like myself, is a fan of STAR TREK V: THE FINAL FRONTIER (1989). Since the film had the feeling of a lost episode of TOS he edited the 107 minute picture down to something closer to the 60s pilot of 63 minutes and try to give it the feeling of an episode which also included adding a little of the 60s sound effects and music (but not much so that it was distracting or all that noticeable). He did this in the guise of the planned but shelved 70s version of the show in the 1970s until STAR WARS (1977) hit the scene and forced them to steer toward STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE (1979) instead. The result is a little odd but satisfying. Haters of ST5 will likely enjoy this a lot more. The only thing I missed in this truncated version were the scenes with Kirk, Spock and McCoy in their bonding moments in the mountains. But this version does work as it is, if for no other reason, as a curiosity for those who have seen the full feature film.
