Plot Synopsis
Storyline
When the newly-christened starship Enterprise's shakedown cruise goes poorly, Captain Kirk and crew put her into Spacedock for repairs. But an urgent mission interrupts their Earth-bound shore leave. A renegade Vulcan named Sybok has taken three ambassadors hostage on Nimbus III, the Planet of Galactic Peace. This event also attracts the attention of a Klingon captain who wants to make a name for himself and sets out to pursue the Enterprise. Sybok's ragtag army captures the Enterprise and takes her on a journey to the center of the galaxy in search of the Supreme Being. Written by David Thiel <d-thiel@uiuc.edu>

Trivia
Harve Bennett was exhausted by his work on the previous three Star Trek films and wanted to move on, feeling that he was not part of the "Star Trek" family and that he had been mistreated by Leonard Nimoy. When William Shatner tried to convince Bennett to reconsider, the producer insisted on a meeting at his home. After several hours of discussion Bennett agreed to return. Bennett disagreed with several elements of Shatner's story, feeling that because no one could assuredly answer the question of God's existence, the ending of the film would never be satisfying. Bennett also told Shatner that the film had the feeling of a tone poem rather than an adventure story. The studio agreed with Bennett, reasoning that the subject matter could be too weighty or offensive to theatergoers. See more »Goofs
When Spock is talking to Kirk up the face of El Capitan, Kirk reaches up for a new hold and his hand, in closeup, slips. Then Kirk's foot slips, again in closeup, from a lower toehold and Kirk falls. The two holds are the same piece of studio "rock face", which looks very fake - the granite El Capitan consists of does not look as glossy. See more »Quotes

Though it isn't as bad as many Star Trek fans assumed or judged when they saw the movie, but however, we noticed here the work was plagued by many factors.
First, I can give credit to William Shatner and its effort to direct a movie with many disturbing factors (SAG writers strike, low budget due to another Star Trek production (TNG), rewriting the ending, etc...)
Second, it is difficult to make a movie where the central subject is God.
Third, too much liberties taken which led to confusion about the multi arc storyline (3 story lines melded into one: hostage crisis/Klingon conflict/meeting with "God") However, result is a passable movie. Yes, there were some bad or mediocre TV episodes among the various Star Trek series, I can rate it one mark over mediocre...
What was missing: consistency, and I would have put something more about the Klingons, since the latter have a secret grunge with events happened during Star Trek III. (The sequel, Star Trek VI, resumes this rivalry...)
To conclude: Shatner did its best... but took a wrong turn instead...
