If I had to rank the first six Trek films from most to least favorite, it would be: 2, 4, 6, 3, 1, and 5.

Wrath of Khan will always be the best Trek movie. There's not a single bad thing I could think to say about this movie. The villain, the pacing, the music, and every other component of the film meshed together to create a sci-fi masterpiece.

The Voyage Home was a very fun movie, a nice change of pace from the space exploration and evil villains. It's also an imminently quotable film.

The Undiscovered Country provided some great closure to the Federation-Klingon rivalry that persisted since the original series, and had a good story overall.

The Search for Spock was a solid movie. It wasn't amazing, but it was a well-crafted film, plus James Horner returned to score it and he used many of the same musical cues from WoK. It also introduced the Klingon Bird of Prey, my second-favorite ship class in the Trek universe after the Constitution-class refit.

The Motion Picture was a decent start to the Trek film series, though a bit to esoteric and abstract for my tastes. However, it did introduce a new Star Trek theme song composed by Jerry Goldsmith, which later became the default Star Trek theme for years to come, and the docking scene that showed off the remodeled Enterprise in all her glory was great.

The Final Frontier, however, was a very hit-or-miss film. It had some fun parts, but other times it suffered from sloppy editing and effects. The overall plot was kinda meh. Still, it's just enjoyable enough to watch on occasion.

Nice list. I'd only switch 2 and 4.

4, 2, 6, 3, 1, 5

And I agree with your analysis too
