Siskel & Ebert - Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989)
It was 30 years ago today, June 9th, 1989, that I first saw this at the Inland Center Mall Theater, now a freeway on/off-ramp in San Bernardino, California, I've always liked Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, despite what Siskel & Ebert, other Trek fans or anyone else says! 8-)

One major quibble, these two actually said on their 1984 At the Movies review that Star Trek III: The Search for Spock is a pretty good sequel ua-cam.com/video/E8fu76RP_3k/v-deo.html and not lumped in as bad by Ebert herein.

I love the way these two great guys sum up in their 1986 review here The Original Crew's chemistry and how George Lucas or Steven Spielberg would have ruined it, kind of like what JJ Abrams did with Star Trek 2009, but most especially 2013's Into Darkness, then also Star Wars: The Farce Awakens in 2015!

    Star Trek III: Search for Spock is 40 years old! Made $76.5 million domestically and $87 million worldwide It's tough to make a decent follow-up to 'Wrath of Khan' which is still considered to be one of the best Star Trek films but the late Leonard Nimoy makes a very good directorial debut This is actually a very well-made sequel despite the even numbered entries making fans and critics very disappointed It still has big death scenes, strong moments, and it feels very operatic Christopher Lloyd makes for a decent villain but the character is more of a one-note player unable to match the late Ricardo Montalban Kirk gets some very dark character moments gaining something but losing something in the process And despite the controversy of fans addressing a huge retcon while also making Starfleet an antagonist the film still works thanks to fantastic special effects, some cool mythos when it comes to the Vulcan species, a decent pace, and balances action, adventure, and character drama James Horner's score is spectacular as always Each of the crew members get their chance to shine And there's many biblical themes of life, death, and rebirth The concept is nice even though Spock is not on screen for a lot of the running time his spirit and essence is present throughout The destruction of the Enterprise is quite epic too and they give it a lot of weight The characters' affection for each other going beyond the uniform clearly shows as well as how imperfect an organization like Starfleet is A crew is willing to sacrifice everything for a fallen friend showing this movie's sentiment and spirituality Nimoy manages to get across Christian themes and scientific ethics--how quickly it moves and the dangers of it It’s not as great as its predecessor but still a very watchable entry in the franchise being the more drama-based one

    Did the review end with a prescient comment about the JJ Abrams era of Trek Cinema ??? Well Mr Ebert, I couldn't agree more. Star Trek is no longer controlled by people who love it, but by people who love the money it can generate, and not even a Beastie Boys track can save the massive garbage ttrain being thrust on thristy fans. True the ruination was born with the William Shatrner helmed "V", but the real end of what Star Trek WAS in JJ turning into a razzle-dazzle CGI and emotionally vacant pew-pew sci-fi series. I will stick to the trilogy of II, III and IV to define the franchise.

    Star Trek III wasn't a bad movie. It was a good movie with a bad premise. Once they decided to dedicate an entire film to a resurrection plot - "Disney Death," a.k.a. "Comic Book Death" - the damage was done. All they could do then was to try to turn that sow's ear of a concept into the finest faux-silk purse they could make, and they largely succeeded.

You don't need to film on location to make the scene work, if the writing is good, it matters significantly less, look at TOS and TNG where they almost always filmed on a stage/backlot.

    This was the first Star Trek movie I watched and I saw it in the theater on opening weekend! By that point, my Dad and I were watching TNG every week and I only watched a small bit of an episode of TOS (I think it was “The Changeling”, in hindsight), but I still enjoyed the movie a lot and watched it several more times when we got it on VHS. For me, it’s the third best in the series, behind Wrath of Khan (best) and First Contact (2nd).

    I like how Gene says the crew like each other on screen when, in reality, most of the cast hated each other, or at least Shatner. Anyway, IV was the one I watched the second most as a kid after VI, though the probe sounds gave me nightmares.
