Today marks the 25th anniversary of a dark day for Star Trek fandom: the release of Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, or to give it its proper name, “The Worst Star Trek Movie That Isn’t Star Trek Into Darkness.”
Arguably, The Final Frontier is worse than Into Darkness. It not only matches that movie’s nonsensical plot but adds layers of awkwardly-unfunny comedy and bored actors, with the outcome an uneven, overly-complicated mess. The plot of the movie may have been focused on the attempt of Spock’s half-brother to meet God in the center of the universe, but what The Final Frontier is really about is what happens when a studio demands a blockbuster movie before everyone involved is ready to deliver one (Marvel, you should take note *cough*Ant-Man*cough*).
