The Best Star Trek Movie?

The Voyage Home.

^^This.

All of the original cast films are good to great with Wrath being the standout and Final Frontier being at the bottom of the pack mostly for budgetary reasons. It has some really great moments though, and if JJ Abrams had any sense, when it was clear Demian Bichir wasn’t going to be his Khan in Into Darkness, they should’ve asked for a little more time, shifted gears, and made Cumberbatch’s character Sybok. A terrorist Vulcan on the heels of the destruction of their home planet would’ve worked much better than trying to shoehorn Khan into the mix saving us from that stupid “Hey, remember this?” ending. I could never warm up to either of his entries and still haven’t watched the third despite owning it on digital.

The Next Generation films aren’t much better, Generations felt rushed and an uninspired team up which should’ve included Spock. First Contact was a blatant rehash of Jim Cameron’s Aliens despite a great time travel story tacked on. Insurrection, my favorite of the bunch as it felt the most like an episode of the show, but at the same time a story not really being movie worthy. Also, the less said about Nemesis, the better.

So yeah, Wrath is by far the best, as is the trilogy of films it starts with The Voyage Home coming in second scoring points for its unique premise, and being super quotable…but man, does it ever have a weak score outside its main theme. Undiscovered Country is third and a great swan song for the original cast. Wish we could get the franchise back to the quality of those at some point and cool submarine battles in space.

Any with Jean-Luc Picard before they turned him into the biggest bitch alive.

Wrath of Kahn was great.  Ricardo Montablan comes across as terrifying but also with some charm.  The back and forth with the ships both taking damage was like watching a boxing match go back and forth wondering who will hold on.  This was not just a great Star Trek movie, it’s just a great movie.  I like Search for Spock as well.  Christopher Lloyd plays an OK villain, and it’s the first time we see the Enterprise blow up.  Now when Abrams does it every movie it’s boring.
