One of the lesser entries of the bunch is 1989’s Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, which was directed by Captain James T. Kirk himself, William Shatner.
For those who’ve never seen Star Trek V: The Final Frontier or have blocked it from their minds, the movie revolved around the Enterprise crew tracking down Spock’s half-brother, Sybok, as he traveled to find an entity he believed to be God.
While Star Trek: The Original Series is a beloved series among sci-fi fans, the fact of the matter is that without the Star Trek movies, the franchise wouldn’t have grown into the powerhouse it is today.
I got the chance to direct a several-million-dollar movie, Star Trek V, and I did not get the help I needed in allocating my budget, so when it came to shooting the ending — needing a good villain and lots of computer graphics — I had run out of money.
