So what if this is William Shatner's directorial debut? No reason to malign this movie, which is by far the only Star Trek movie that holds true to the Star Trek(any series) episode staple of going where no-one has gone before, with presenting an "action-oriented" episode AND one that "makes you think", two categories you can divide all Trek episodes into. All in all, I'd say Shatner(who directed a few episodes of T.J. Hooker) did a great job.
Star Trek: The Motion Picture also did that staple, but I just couldn't STAND those gray pajamas they had passed off for uniforms.
The special effects could have been better, but I read Shatner's director's diary, called "Captain's Log: The Making of Star Trek V". He said the movie had gone drastically over budget, and they had to use a less expensive effects company.
Jerry Goldsmith's soundtrack is my hands-down favorite(I like his Total Recall score next), and I absolutely LOVE Hiroshima's rendition of the song Uhura sang on the hill, called "The Moon's A Window To Heaven".
