CommentsXp Best movie ever!
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
cinemajesty Movie Review: "Star Trek: The Final Frontier" (1989)Screenwriter David Loughery, intrigued by the immense success of predecessor "Star Trek: The Voyage Home" directed by Leonard Nimoy in season 1985/1986 to excellence, comes "The Final Frontier" directed by William Shatner in technically-overthrown malpractice manners, this "Star Trek" picture is only able to convince in moments of complete harmony between Kirk, Bones and Spock singing campfire song "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" in a mind-calming nursery rhythym for the harcore-nostalgic-fan of the original series, when story of substantial questions in a galaxy-multiplying constant-expanding universe get easy pushed away by potentially-misdirected Laurence Luckinbill playing Spock's halfbrother Sybok, who as Vulcan nemesis character had the all-too-missed opportunity alongside confronting actor Leonard Nimoy in another calmly-received Mr. Spock portrayal of already-inhabited wisdom from the written directing voyages "The Voyage Home" (1986) and "The Search For Mr. Spock" (1984).What "The Final Frontier" should have been with an epically-raised production budget by Paramount Pictures remains in the stars with visions of full-blown desert "Nimbus III" battles of wishful R-rated proportions with an following space race "Cannonball" run between at least three parties, preferably a high-jacked Starfleet "Enterprise" in metal-splintering stranglehold between a Klingon "Warbird" and Romulan "Capital D'deridex" pursuing in warp-speedways to the Center of the Universe, where a single stab of a bloody poisoned knife, while tribe of "The Dominion" takes the price of truthful simplicities away over an inner struggle of galactic faith, when Captain James T. Kirk denies a full-frontal fight-through, giving in to old republic religious believes that by the end of "The Final Frontier" the reputation of the "Star Trek" universe had been suffering substantially, which could only be rebound by a seemingly ongoing up-to-the-task "Next Generation" crew, led by actor Patrick Stewart as Captain Jean-Luc Picard, who in the 1987 inceptions of a highly-accomplished television series with peaking Cliffhanger-Scenarios and new hostile introduction of constant-assimilating entity of "The Borg" receive all the glory with the audiences.Nevertheless Leonard Nimoy (1931-2015) alongside out-going life-loving DeForest Kelley (1920-1999) alongside a traditional "Jerry Goldsmith (1929-2004)" score compositions and some decent on-ship visual effect works, partially received by "Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade" (1989) occupied industry primus Industrial, Light & Magic (ILM), when again the execution in producing as directing crawls up like an haunted picture entity to single moments of fully-accomplished shot work by cinematographer Andrew Laslo (1926-2011).© 2018 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)
alexanderdavies-99382 This "Star Trek" film from 1989, doesn't exactly show everyone at their finest hour! The plot is full of inconsistencies and is rather confusingly presented. The narrative is one of the worst I have seen and William Shatner is no director. I think his ego was getting the better of him here. The film does warm up a tad for the last 20 minutes but it can't compensate for all the rubbish beforehand.
Nicolas F. Costoglou The Final Frontier is the weakest movie out of the Star Trek Motion Picture-Saga, but not as bad as it's made out to be...The positive aspects first: The crew is as interesting and even funnier as always, and their are a few very good scenes like when McCoy, Kirk and Spock are on a camping trip together, or when they get their inner pain shown to get over it, which has the hardest effect on (and best performance from) McCoy (DeForest Kelley).The cinematography is pretty good and the movie has a neat look overall, the lighting could need more atmosphere and contrast, but that also works in it's favour in terms of the look of the new Enterprise which isn't nearly ready to go, and has many glitches and things that have to be fixed, so the bland lighting looks like the work lights on a construction site and give you the feeling, that everything's still broken.Even the theme of the movie isn't that bad, the search for our reason of existence, the fight for our believes, and to break frontiers no one ever broke before. But none of this themes get to be explored, or a satisfying conclusion so that you feel like you wasted your time to hear a story with no meaning.The soundtrack is very good and reuses, as the only Movie from the original series, Jerry Goldsmiths theme for the first film, which get to be used for all the next Generation films. Also the sound effects are really good.The movie has many problems, which is the reason why the positive section of the review already has negative points, but i think it's a solid entertaining Star Trek movie.Most of the problems are because of money restrains, which prevented William Shatner (who directed only this movie, but not a single one again) to get his full vision on screen, which could have been better, or worse, but it would have had a more satisfying ending.It's overall a pretty decent Sci-Fi-movie which is mostly for Star Trek-Fans, because the reason this movie works even with all the errors, is because of the crew which hold together the whole film...
mike48128 Yeah "Nemisis" and "Insurrection" are mighty unpopular but, as all Star Trek's are not gems, this is a real stinker. Roger Ebert called it the worst. Some would argue that the first one wasn't so hot either. At the risk of "alienating" (good pun) all "Trekies", religion of any sort never works out in most sci-fi movies. Here an obscure half-brother of Spock pops into the Star Trek Universe. He appears to be a Nomad, which is laffable, now that we all know Leonard Nimoy's ethnic history. I have always respected the man. So here we have a very touchy subject in an uncomfortable movie. It turns out "It" is just an evil planet-sized Bogey Man and certainly not our idea of The Creator. All very disappointing and mean-spirited. I bet this was a bad midnight-hour desperate rewrite, and it failed. A bad or good ending can save or kill a movie. As shallow as a bad 45 minute "B" episode. Only "Lost in Space" is worse! It's a "mercy" "7" for the usual excellent special effects?
