Star Trek V: The Final Frontieris often the most disliked of the classic movies, but its biggest failure was that it took the wrong lessons from Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. Released in 1989, The Final Frontier was the first time that William Shatner was given the chance to direct a major motion picture, and the penultimate film to feature the original cast. It was also unique because it was the first film to follow the so-called “Genesis Trilogy”, which began in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and concluded with 1986’s The Voyage Home.
