If you read Shatner's book when he talked about making that movie, his ideas were oscar worthy and he was failed by the studio and their reluctance to give him money, and the incompetence of the special effects people.
Look for the most part Star Trek V was a poor movie, most of the characters completely acted out of character and we ended up with a horny Uhura pining for Scotty.
But I will say there was some good in it. the campfire scene in the beginning and end were great.
The search for god, I kinda dug that idea though introducing Spocks half brother with the power to brain wash people was poorly done, and the Klingon stuff was kinda stupid.
There was a good story line built in there somewhere.
