Well, I guess I'm lucky. I've never seen three of the ones on your worst list. ;o)
Although, there were things liked liked about The Final Frontier, it did prove it was time the original crew retired.
It's a miracle Star Trek: The Motion Picture made enough to get The Wrath of Khan approved. I guess it just shows how loyal Star Trek fans were. I remember learning that the screenplay was going to be done by Hollywood's favorite hack writer in those days, Allen Dean Foster, and thinking maybe special effects might save it. Then seeing the movie, it sure seemed like they never knew when to shut off the darn special effects and get on with what little story they had. LOL
I'd put Reboot in the bad column. But if the same sort of thing had been done as Buck Rodgers or Flash Gordon, instead of Star Trek I'd have been a lot happier with it. Of all the new version of the old characters I only liked Uhura.
