Could Star Trek V been saved?

I wish I were making this up, but NDEs involving hell often have the angel/God/Jesus/(insert your religion's deity) blaming the person themselves for going to hell,
I mean, that's hardly unique to angels or deities in near death experiences. Am I to understand you've never been disciplined by your parents/teachers/bosses who have said "you did this to yourself"?

But to make this more about Star Trek, it's a mischaracterization of Kirk to assume he wouldn't take responsibility for his decisions and own them and would instead blame "God" for sending him to hell for things he, Jim Kirk, did himself. Especially in light of this being the same movie where Kirk rejects Sybok's offer to remove his pain saying, essentially, that he doesn't need to be absolved of the times he turned left when he should have turned right.
