Notes et avis

"Insurrection" is dull, "The Undiscovered Country" and "The Voyage Home" are both a little flat, and "Nemesis" is a sassy but apocryphal mess, but no Trek film flies as far off the rails as "The Final Frontier." From the beginning, the tone is off, the dialog inconsistent with the characters we know, the jokes lame, and the story - my god, the story. Never has a movie careened faster from mildly interesting to stupid to totally laughable. The climactic confrontation is the stuff of Razzie legend.

Sadly this one has had a bad rep for so many years. It is completely undeserved and should be revisited. Some good action and probably the best character interaction in the series history. Special effects were not the best, but the characters and performances do carry this one.

Bad plot, poor writing. It's telling that this movie's big literary reference is "Row, row, row your boat", while the next one was Shakespeare.
