Synopsis: Onboard the newly built and not fully functionning Enterprise-B, Kirk (Shatner), Spock (Nimoy) and their crew have to investigate the kidnapping of diplomats. But this may be only a trick that will lead them to explore the final frontier of our galaxy.
Review: The movie starts slowly and well, taking the time to show our favorite characters on shore leave (maybe the influence of Shatner as director and screenplay writer). The following is more classic and leaves only half an hour for the really interesting part of the movie (spoiler, highlight to read): the trip to the center of the galaxy and the meeting with an entity they believe to be God. The philosphical questions raised by this last part are important and remind of Star Trek I: The Motion Picture. I actually learned in the making-of that those questions were intentionally left aside from the first movie, maybe too in advance for its time, and re-used in this fifth episode. Otherwise, the apparition of a Klingon enemy is even more useless than in Star Trek III, but all in all the movie fits well in the series, leaning undeniably towards the standards of a good TV-series rather than the ones of expensive cinema.
Rating: 5 /10
