In the vicinity of the liberated planet of Bajor, the Federation space station Deep Space Nine guards the opening of a stable wormhole to the far side of the galaxy.
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

The constrained budget meant that William Shatner could not completely redesign the Starfleet uniforms, but Nilo Rodis-Jamero created new brown field uniforms for the film's location scenes as well as the leisure clothes the crew wears during shore leave. See more »
Goofs
The Enterprise's deck numbering changes radically in the turbo shaft scenes (with deck numbering as high as 70 and repeating.) The deck numbering is much higher than any previously established for the Enterprise, and the repeating of the numbers is an acknowledged continuity error. See more »
Quotes
[first lines]
Sybok:
I thought weapons were forbidden on this planet. Besides, I can't believe you'd kill me for a field of empty holes.
J'Onn:
It's all I have.

Alternate Versions
The CBS broadcast premiere removed a number of scenes from the movie. 1) All scenes featuring the dancing triple-breasted catwoman were removed. 2) The campfire scene was trimmed, ending with Spock producing the 'marshmellon' - effectively removing the infamous 'Row Row Row Your Boat' sing along between Kirk, Spock and McCoy. 3) The scene between Uhura and Scotty on the bridge as they receive new orders from Starfleet Command. 4) The "I could use a shower" scene between Kirk and Spock in the turbolift.

This somewhat slow , humorless and little intriguing outing . An Amusing Adventure and Imagination Will Meet At the Final Frontier .A new attempt to boldly venture where no man has gone before in which the greatest Enterprise of all is adventure . It deals with a renegade Vulcan called Sybok (Laurence Luckinbill ) , Mr. Spock's long-lost half-brother , kidnaps the Enterprise for an obsessive search for God at the center of the Galaxy and then he takes it on a voyage to the mythic center of universe , and along the way they suffer Klingon threaten , as usual . As Sybock commands the aging crew to go on a mission to a far planet to carry out a dangerous journey to discover God (George Murdock) . The batty Vulcan holds forth on the state of God , pain and the Galaxy , just as well there's a ship full of hostile Klingons to contend as well . Admiral James T. Kirk (William Shatner) and the crew (DeForest Kelley as McCoy , James Doohan as Scotty , Walter Koenig as Chekov , Nichelle Nichols as Uhura , George Takei as Sulu) of Enterprise must battle the rebel Vulvanian , a Spock's old friend/foe out for revenge .The Enterprise is back. This time, have they gone too far? Why Are They Putting Seatbelts In Theatres This Summer? What does God need with a starship?
A regular and inferior sequel that sags in the middle , packing some warm moments , primitive special effects , and comradly in the nostalgic mode of predecessors and successors entries . William Shatner's mediocre directorial debut , and even he co-write the screenplay , along with Harve Bennett , David Loughery , based on the characters imaginated by the real creator : Gene Roddenberry , but it results to be a poor following to the Nimoy-shooting fourth outing : ¨The voyage home¨ in the series . Heavy-handed , slow-moving and pretentiously pseudo-theological , including God's appearance . The filming is serviceable enough ,if things sometimes get too deliberately ridiculous , absurd and silly , but there is still a deal of entertainment to be gained from the banter , jokes, agreeable talking and singing among the old comrades : William Shatner , Leonard Nimoy , DeForest Kelley while hicking throughout the mountains and Woods . During pre-production meetings, screenwriters jokingly proposed to have Commander Uhura appear as an erotic dancer in order to lure away the hostage takers from the Paradise compound , then the producers , surprisingly , approved of the idea right away , and there shows up the always likeable Nichelle Nichols at an bemusing strip-tease . In the film appears the franchise's ordinaries , adding the following ones : Laurence Luckinbill , David Warner , Goerge Murdock ,Charles Cooper and cameo by Harve Bennet , series's producer , as a member of the Starfleet Chief of Staff. It contains the always rousing musical score by the great Jerry Goldsmith . And a colorful and adequate cinematography by Andrew Laszlo . The motion picture was middlingly directed by William Shatner .
The long franchise started with the popular TV series , following the cinematic renditions , these are the following ones : the first ¨Star Trek , the Motion Picture¨ by Robert Wise ; ¨Star Trek 2 the wrath of Khan¨ by Nicholas Meyer ; ¨The search of Spock¨ by Leonard Nimoy ; ¨The voyage home¨ by Leonard Nimoy ; ¨The undiscovery country¨ by Nicholas Meyer and ¨Generations¨ by David Carson in which blends classic roles as William Shatner , James Doohan , George Takei with a new generation formed by Patrick Stewart , Brent Spiner , Levar Burton , Marina Sirtis , Jonathan Frakes . And going on other series starred by these new roles such as : ¨Némesis¨ by Stuart Baird , ¨Insurrection¨ by Jonathan Frakes , ¨First Contact¨and many others ....,
