star trek v definitely earn the dubious distinction of be the weak film in the star trek series . despite the good acting effort by the actor and it suffer from a general lack of funding from paramount picture . paramount picture be not enthusiastic about this film at it very onset . the movie begin with the enterprise crew enjoy their extend shore leave a a reword for save the earth from total ecological disaster . their shore leave be cut short when a disturbance occur on nimbus iii and the planet of intergalactic peace . captain kirk and the enterprise arrive at nimbus iii only to have their ship hijack by sybok and spock half brother . sybok brainwash the crew of the enterprise and set it on a suicide mission to rendezvous with god just past the great barrier at the center of our galaxy . captain kirk must then figure out a way to regain control of his ship and to fend off the enterprise klignon pursuer . the only bright spot in the film be the acting and directing . william shatner and leonard nimoy and deforest kelley and laurence luckinbill and and the rest of the cast all give good performance . william shatner also do a pretty good job direct this film . however and the film suffer from a general lack of enthusiasm and funding . first and the part of sybok be initially offer to sean connery and but he refuse . so and laurence luckinbill get the part . second and many of the special effect be severely cut back . reduce the movie entertain potential . third and the scene that depict the arrival at the great barrier leave much to be desire . finally and the romance between scotty and uhura in this film do not make much sense at all . consider that no such romance ever occur prior to this point in the star trek universe and it be never explain how such a romance could suddenly materialize between star trek iv and v. overall and this be a very weak film . you should probably just skip this film and move on to star trek vi . after all and the cast and crew make star trek vi partly to bail themselves out after their debacle with star trek v .
