This movie is not the disaster some make it out to be. In fact, the first two-thirds are just dandy. There is good comedy (particularly from Dr. McCoy) and the action sequences are good, too. Then it completely falls apart. It makes absolutely no sense – as if whole scenes are missing (which, I beleive is actually the case.) There are wild character contradictions, plot holes and a massive anti-climax. Yes, the ending of “Star Trek V” does indeed suck. But the whole movie is not a waste, and fans of Trek will find plenty to enjoy in the earlier sections of the film.
