Star Trek V - The Final Frontier (Special Edition) Reviews
The Enterprise crew is trapped by Spock's half-brother.
William Shatner is the director.
Filmed at Yosemite National Park, Kirk (William Shatner) is attempting to climb El capitan while on shore leave. McCoy (DeForest Kelley) is nervous watching Hirk through his high-tech binoculars. Spock (Leonard Nimoy) propels in his jet boots to Kirk to help him understand his dangerous situation. Suddenly Kirk falls and like Superman, Spock saves Kirk from a deadly fate.
On Nimbus 3, their is an evangelist/metaphysical Vulcan, "Sybok" (Laurence Luckinbill), who is Spock's half-brother, has befriended a new believer. Meanwhile, Scotty, (James Doohan) is upset trying to get the new NCC 1701-A Enterprise to work in tip-top condition. Uhura (Nichelle Nichols) offers Scotty some dinner. Suddenly, tyhe Enterprise receives an emergency call "red alert, priority 7" from Starfleet. All shore leave officers are summoned to beam up, however Chekov (Walter Koenig) and Sulu (George Takei) are lost. leave it to Uhura to find everyone.
When Kirk and Spock make it down to Nimbus 3, they are met by caithlin Dar (Cynthia Gouw), Talbot (David Warner) and Kurrd (Charles Cooper) relizing they have been set-up. Sybok intends to take over the Enterprise.
During the campfire scene with Kirk, McCoy and Spock, Spock introduces a Marshmallow dispenser. In 1989-90, Kraft Incorporated actually released Marshmallow dispensers as a special offer ( request of UPC symbols and fee) and sold the over-sized Marshmallows for the dispenser. The kit came with utensils and a note from James T. Kirk. I still own one in its original mailing box unopened.
Good line: "I made the wrong choices in my life? Did I turn left when I should have turned right?"--said by William Shatner.
William Shatner along with Leonard Nimoy claims he became patially deaf due to an explosion at the location of filming.
Bravo to David Loughery for writing an excellent screenplay and giving such comedic lines to the well-talented actors who form the Enterprise crew. Story by William Shatner, Harve Bennett, David Loughery.
Lucille Ball connection: When Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz formed Desilu, it was Lucy who chose to go with "Star Trek" as a tv series (and other tv projects).
Laurence Luckinbill later married Lucy and Desi's daughter, Lucie Arnaz.
Lucille Ball died on April 26, 1989, the same year this film was released.
DVD is in Widescreen format. Only extras are Theatrical Trailer and Teaser Trailer. No audio commentary. Closed Captioned and English subtitles are not availalbe.
The next film is: STAR TREK VI: THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY (1991)
