Insurrection is probably the worst.

Undiscovered Country might be the best.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Nemesis and insurrection are by far the worst of the modern ones.

Galaxy Quest is better than all of them, though.

Galaxy quest would definitely rank in the top 1/4

Act One is great. Then it gets totally bonkers and the ending can't do any of the heavy lifting its required to do. Ultimately its uneven and uninteresting. And the ending is just awful. Huge copout.

Man I love Final Frontier. Especially its ending. Maybe my all time favorite Kirk moment.

That makes a lot of sense to me. I'd be surprised if you felt differently.

Star Trek doesn't make for great movies. Most of what makes it what it is gets lost in translation. Characters are reduced, philosophy becomes an inconvenience, theme gets bludgeoned into submission by the need for bigger and louder and kaboom. Man, TV Picard is a great character. Movie Picard is barely a character at all.

Most of those multitudes of movies are fun, dumb scifi-lite trips, but none of them are particularly Star Trek.

What they really need to do is HD DS9.
