Less vanity, more insanity, project, Star Trek V only happened because William Shatner wanted to have a crack at directing after Leonard Nimoy had twice been handed the reins. Bill delivered a mess of muddled plotting (renegade Vulcan Sybok, played by Laurence Luckinbill, hijacks the Enterprise to seek God), shameful character treatment (the supporting cast turned into morons) and cheap FX. To say nothing of Kirk, Spock and McCoy around a campfire singing 'Row, row, row your boat"'. Pure Shat.
DVD Extras:
Shatner's self-serving commentary is joyless, the featurettes only serve up the odd tasty morsel and the deleted footage falls into `Who cares?' territory. But bottom of the crap pile is producer Harve Bennnett's sales pitch: ""Star Trek V is gonna be a blockbuster movie...""
