    The first movie I ever saw in the theater was Star Trek V, which I still have enormous affection for. It was bad but it was STAR TREK bad, darn it

    Amusingly, this is one reason why Star Trek V is only mediocre, rather than awful. Paramount got Harve Bennett to hack 15mins of fluff from Shatner's film to get it back to a 1hr40 runtime.

    This is an echo chamber, so I know we all already agree that Star Trek V is, let’s say, not the best Star Trek movie. But Shatner does absolutely crush the line “what does God need with a starship?”

    A film pretty much universally disliked… but you love it anyway? I’ll start with Star Trek V The Final Frontier. Iffy effects aside it’s a great flick and probably the closest to TOS in vibe. Plus… that Goldsmith score is FIRE. “What does God need with a starship?”

    4. There are only three Star Trek films I would genuinely call “bad” and Star Trek V is not one of them. But by far, the worst Star Trek film - hell, I’d say Star Trek *anything* - is Star Trek: Into Darkness. Just a bitter, misguided, incredibly poorly conceived film from top to bottom. Thanks, JJ

    8. Star Trek V has 3 good scenes, thus making it a good movie, this is called the Star Trek V ruling (seriously the part where Sarek turns away from his newborn son saying "I never thought he'd look so...human" is an all timer Trek moment)

    Watched Deadpool & Wolverine. So stupid - like “let’s ride this joke until it’s dead”, Star Trek V levels of eyeroll-worthy gags. Take the fourth wall breaking and inside jokes of the first two movies and multiply by 10 - that IS the movie, now. Still kinda fun, though. It has its moments.

    Star Trek V was the first Trek movie that I ever saw in the theatre. I definitely didn't hate it. There was one summer where I wore the hell out of VHS tapes of TFF and Willow. It absolutely could have benefitted from ILM doing the VFX and Harve Bennett restraining Shat a bit more.

    The idea that Miller thinks Shatner should have "total creative control" gives me the horrible feeling that Miller thinks Star Trek V: The Final Frontier is the best Trek film. He's said many sick things over the years, but that would be his most evil opinion yet.

    It is possible that this was one of the modifications made to the set for "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier" (filmed just around that time in early season 2) when it doubled as the Enterprise-A sickbay but that part of the set was never seen in the film in the end.

    I'm gonna say Rise of Skywalker. I've seen some bad sequels in my day, but RoS is the only time I ever felt like the sequel was trying to shame me for having liked the previous film. As bad as Star Trek V was, at no point did it feel like Shatner was telling me to go fuck myself for having loved IV.
