The fifth release in the series I think I’d a bit underrated.

To me it's the first one of the movies to really evoke the series 'feel.' TVH was just basically slapstick for the masses, WoK was too contrived, they tried to make it too perfect. TSFS just had a 'are we there yet' feel. This one has the cheaper effects and the tiny budget that was cut even more during production. Shatner pulled it off anyway and the actors responded namely Luckinbill and David Warner, who is top drawer anyway - and over time people are starting to recognize it for what it is - a shoestring production pulled off pretty well.

If you want to kill Star Trek, give it a massive budget. The newer movies prove this every time.
