while star trek the motion picture be mostly boring and star trek the final frontier be plain bad . in this terrible sequel and the crew be on shore leave when they get a distress signal from the federation that ambassador represent earth and romulus and kronos ( the klingon home world ) have be kidnap by a renegade vulcan bent on his quest to attain a starship to venture into the great barrier . there and he hop to find god . use mysticism and bad writing and he persuade many of the senior officer of the enterprise to betray kirk and get a hold of the ship . they do reach the inside of the great barrier and find a planet where they do meet a god like alien . this one be so bad it be hard to figure out where to begin . at the core be a good idea that be never really develop . the plot go nowhere instead of where no man have go before . it be almost like the writer have no idea how to end this fiasco . the action scene do not have the suspense of wrath of kahn and the philosophy be boring and and the humor be stale . now i will focus most of my anger on william shatner . when he take the director chair and the ego get big . most of the focus be on him and spock and and mccoy and but do not give the others enough to do . moreover and whereas shatner be usually guilty of over act in previous movie and television spot and he be just plain bad in this one . now kirk be reckless and a practical joker and and silly . one of the bad scene involve the three leader sing the song and row row row your boat in a round by a campfire . in any case and this be the bad of the star trek franchise . i should have give it three out of ten instead of five .
