Hey y'all. I've recently rewatched Star Trek V, the infamous "bad" entry to the Star Trek movie collection. People have hated this movie since its release, and it's an in-joke among the Trekkies that this is so. However, I disagree with this assessment. Is it a great movie? Certainly not. There's just too much that didn't get fully thought out, and it goes too goofy. However, I find it mildly entertaining.
Why? Well, it means a lot to me. I had it on VHS as a child, along with IV and VI. It was something I watched back in the day, and you know what? It holds up a lot better than a lot of the nonsense us kids watched then. Sure beats the old Mega Man cartoon.
The thing is, I just don't understand why this movie gets so much hate. It's not wonderful or terribly thought-provoking, but it's also not the worst thing in the world. In fact, there are several things I like about it. Here are ten of them.
Ten good things about Star Trek V:
1. The characters in the film feel like themselves.
