Not very good. Some good bits. Interesting ideas. Starts evocatively on that desert plant. I enjoyed the Star Trek crew being challenged by trauma. But there's too many "bits". Some just don't work - sorry, Kirk rock climbing... he's not Tom Cruise he's too tubby. Not much continuity for the previous films. (2 to 4 really are the proper trilogy). Unfocused. Laurence Luckenbill isn't much of a villain - no Ricardo Montalban and not even Christopher Lloyd. Taking on death and religioun was a decent idea but the film can't package it.
Fun to see Harve Bennett make a cameo as an admiral. Jerry Goldsmith's music is wonderful. But it's not a good movie.
