In 2010, Star Trek V: The Final Frontier producer Ralph Winter (pictured above) spoke to TrekMovie.com about filming the fifth installment in the franchise. He was rather blunt about the film’s overall performance:

"We had fun and felt good about IV, that wasn’t the case on V. I think on V we were smoking our own press releases. We made the mistake of searching for god. That is what the first movie did. What did we think we were going to find? What did we expect? We were focused and we wrote a good script. Larry Luckinbill (Sybok) was terrific. There were a lot of good things about it. I think we were, not delusional, but we almost killed the franchise. And, unfortunately I almost killed the franchise in terms of the visual effects. We felt like we got taken advantage of by ILM and so we shopped to go to other places. We found a guy in New York, Bran Ferren, who had a pretty good approach to doing the effects, but ultimately they were horrible. And the combination of a story that was not working, it just wasn’t commercial, the effects were terrible – we almost killed the franchise, it almost died." 

He also spoke about William Shatner’s frequent lament that the film’s budget was curtailed beyond reason:

“I don’t agree that Paramount short-changed the movie. They didn’t give [Shatner] as much money for the story that he wanted to tell, but remember Star Trek II was done for $12 Million, and III was done for just under $16 Million, and IV came in a million under budget at $21 Million – I have a letter at home from the president of the studio that shows that. And I think we did the fifth movie at around or just under $30 Million, so it was more. But what he wanted to do was a big grander thing. But I don’t think more money would have made the movie better.”

Seriously, my college is a tiny school in Illinois no one has ever heard of, so how in the name of all humanity did we get both Ralph Winter (producer of X-Men, Star Trek) and Dean Batali (writer for That 70's Show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer) to come speak at our film festival?!
