Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989)

A lunatic takes three consuls on a remote planet as hostages; he demands a starship so that he and his followers may go on a trip to a planet on the center of the galaxy where he believes he will find God. The Enterprise comes to the rescue but the lunatic manages to take control of it.

Another entertaining Star Trek film, correctly directed and competently written. The finale is weak in terms of 'scientific' justification, even more so than the average of the series, but it is perhaps the adequate culmination of a fantasy plot which brings about several interesting situations and a strong character, Sybok.

Rating: 52
