TMP: I'll watch it, though try to forget the uniforms.
TWOK: Loved it!
TSFS: I liked it, though is dragged at the end.
TVH: I liked the music, and enjoyed the jokes. Definitely watch during a marathon.
TFF: I will never miss it.
TUC: I liked this one, save for a few parts.
GEN: Ok, except for the death of the E-D... that was terrible.
FC: Loved it!
Ins: Meh. Still waiting for Rochey to finish his mockery.
Nem: Awesome film, 99% due to its mockery done by Rochey.

TMP: It's been called "The slow Motion Picture" for a reason
TWOK: Best Trek Film ever
TSFS: Nothing outrageously wrong with it, just not particularly good or exiting overall
TVH: I see it as a nice, light Trek comedy and have fun with it
TFF: What were they thinking?
TUC: I really liked it; my second favorite Trek film
GEN: meh
FC: Pretty film and best TNG film, but doesn't stand up to the best of the TOS films
INS: If it's supposed to be TNG's TVH, it takes its morals too seriously and, well, just isn't as funny
NEM: see Rochey's skewering

The problem with INS's morals isn't that they're taken too far, it's that they're the wrong morals.

That too.
But, it is hard to attempt a lighthearted film in the TVH mold if your lead is Jean-Luc Picard...

ST: TMP: Some cool scenes, especially the refit-Connie, but not great.
ST: TWOK: Brilliant - joint top.
ST: TSFS: A good film, with one of the best scenes in Trek - the death of the old Enterprise.
ST: TVH: Pretty good as a comedy, but not great.
ST: TFF: Some good stuff, but lots of shite.
ST: TUC: The other joint top.
ST: Gen: Again, not great but better than V and TMP.
ST: FC: The best of the TNG films by far, but a bit short of II and VI.
ST: INS: A decent popcorn flick, if you ignore the morality (or lack thereof).
ST: NEM: Shit, without even the consolation of a decent battle.

And Data's death was ridiculously dumb. Seriously, he couldn't have carried another of those portable transporter things with him?
In fact, why the hell did Picard even go alone?
What I hate about this movie is that the most important basic plot point - Data's death - is such a tremendously good idea. But it had the wrong context. I was too busy wondering why Picard no longer cared for the Prime Directive, trying to get over the feeling of TOTAL disconnect this had with the overall feel of TNG/Generations/First Contact, and even Insurrection, and what should have been profoundly emotional and like the death of a close friend felt pretty cold and ambivalent.
