Stardate 8454.1: In the windswept desert of Nimbus III, the Planet of Galactic Peace, a lone settler witnesses a man materializing out of the dusty horizon, offering to share and bear the settler's pain. With a laugh, the two join forces and plan to steal a starship. Cutting to the rock and scrub of another desert, the jeans-clad Captain Kirk is climbing bare-handed in Yosemite. After a near-accident followed by a night of beans and whiskey and campfire songs, Kirk (William Shatner), Spock (Leonard Nimoy), and McCoy (DeForest Kelley) are called back from shore leave to the new Enterprise for an emergency mission. Counting on Scotty (James Doohan) to bring the new ship up to specs, they travel to Paradise City on Nimbus III, where delegates from the Romulan, Klingon, and Human races have been kidnapped. The crew soon find themselves joining kidnapper Sybok (Laurence Luckenbill), a renegade Vulcan desperate to discover the secret that lies beyond the Great Barrier at the center of the galaxy.

That was a mistake, Shatner! Paramount apparently considered it a small bribe to a revolting star, but amateur directing and a rough and patchy script sent Star Trek 5 into the category of failures. For the first time since 1979, the terrible spiels about God, very contrived humor and unnatural relationships between the characters have become complicated for the creators. Whilst Wise's first film somehow balanced high ambitions, Shatner's fifth instalment deserves... enough. Mr. Spock barely made it.

Accepting the Farthest Frontier means coming to terms with the fact that the mood will significantly differ from what the viewer experienced in The Voyage Home. Instead of delving into American society, clichés such as a stepbrother or another hateful Klingon are introduced, and attempts to create a good mood through camping or a damaged Enterprise feel forced. Nevertheless, the fifth installment surprisingly earns positive points from me, especially for its second half. The visions sparked by Sybok and the final conversation with Him are literally amazing, whether it be the suspenseful atmosphere or the controversy that Shatner and Loughery daringly provoke. Without unnecessary digressions and with a clearer goal from the beginning, it could be the peak of the series.

I quite enjoyed this. It's somewhat naive in places and doesn't try to be action-packed, but that didn't bother me at all. I haven't watched the whole series, but I easily got attached to the characters and could go through this pseudo-philosophical spectacle with them. Kirk, Spock, and Bones are excellent and mainly carry the show, but others also get involved. And somehow, it's just enough.
