The even numbered ‘rule’ for early ST films really did seem to work out for me. III was probably the best of the odd numbered films for me.
Loved TVH & TUC, as well as TWOK - enjoyable movies I’d still tune into if shown on tv right now; can’t really say that about of some of the other Trek films. I did enjoy First Contact as a film in itself - though not so much as a continuation of TNG Trek.
