The "experts" claim that the even-numbered Trek films are the good ones. The original film is stiffly pedestrian, whereas The Wrath Of Khan is a rip-roaring intergalactic adventure. Star Trek 3: The Search For Spock is a smelly cluster of space debris, while the fourth film, The Voyage Home (the one with the whales), isn't half bad. Five, The Final Frontier, is another steaming mound of celluloid excreta, while six, The Undiscovered Country, is a special-effects-crammed goodie. And Star Trek: Generations would have been tolerable if Shatner and co had let the young folk get on with it... which neatly brings us to Trek part eight, First Contact.
