This Movie's Underrated: "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier"

So, my roommate jokes constantly that I think every movie is underrated. This is not true. For example, I feel like the "rating" of Twilight is pretty much right on the dot, and even that might be overrated.

 Pretty much...hits the nail on the head.

But I think the miscommunication  is that when I say "underrated", that doesn't mean "great" or even "good". Indeed, an "underrated" movie may average out to "bad". But it may be more important than people realize, or have very specific redeeming qualities.

And nowhere is that more true than in the movie I've wanted to do in this column for a long time... Star Trek V: The Final Frontier.

 I swear to God...Paramount hired DARPA to develop the most awkward tagline 
that human nervous systems could make.
