I thought this movie was great, and the best in the series so far, outside of KHAN. There are great positive messages, acting, and a great script. I found no "religious" content offending. There are some shots of people being hit by vapor rays, but nothing graphic. There are also some "d**n"s, "h*ll"s, "bas*ard"s, and one "a*s".

What Parents Need to Know
About Star Trek V: The Final Frontier
Parents need to know that some critics have interpreted an unsubtle anti-religious message here. The villain is a religious fanatic with a barbaric flock of pilgrims and a fondness for mind control. As for the vague, godlike being (perhaps even the God) he seeks, it comes across as a manipulative, power-crazed alien-monster menace. There is also drinking, mild curse words, and some fist-fighting and ray-gun violence. A brief subplot involves physician-assisted euthanasia (portraying it more or less with disfavor).

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the tone of this movie. Is it anti-religious? Producer Gene Roddenberry (not the only major contributor to Star Trek, but a leading figure) is often counted among celebrity atheists. Yet nonfiction books have also been written about the "spirituality" of Trek. How does sci-fi in general regard traditional religion? How do kid-favorites like The Golden Compass and Harry Potter regard religion?
