Star Trek V is in the can
By cdydatzigs

Quote:
Star Trek V needs a "remastered" directors edition DVD, like they did with The Motion Picture.

Shatner asked for that exact treatment for the ending when the 2-disc special edition DVD came out in 2004, but Paramount said "no". Star Trek V was just the victim of being scheduled at a bad time.. the summer of 1989 was crowded with special effects laden films and ILM had no teams left to tackle the fifth Star Trek feature.

After being sold on the mysterious cloud Shakari planet effect, Paramount packed up the ship models and had the special effects done by a small company out of New Jersey. The result? Less than inspiring effects, studio models that were overlit and a hastily thrown together "God with lighting bolts coming out of his eyes" effect that was done last minute, when the SINGLE rockman Shatner was given looked rediculous.
