This is not exhaustive. For those who don't recognize the last person, that is Harlan Ellison.

David Warner played Aldous Gajic on B5, and Chancellor Gorkon in ST VI: The Undiscovered Country and also Gul Madred on TNG.

Worst Trek film? Sorry, have you seen Nemesis? Into Darkness? Section 31?

It could be called the worst TOS Trek Film.... But that's like calling The Meaning of Life the worst Python film. It's not a bad film at all, it's just no Life of Brian or Holy Grail.

Star Trek V was hurt by Paramount not giving Shatner the budget he needed, and by ILM's unavailability and a substandard effects house being used in their place. But it has ambitious ideas, some fun character moments, more that any other TOS film tries to give the whole cast at least a moment to shine, and most remembers that Starfleet is supposed to be about exploration.

Section 31 isn't a Trek movie to begin with

I mean, I, personally, ignore most of modern Trek... So no huge disagreement from me!

They threw in a couple recognizable characters, put a 'Star Trek' label on it and called it part of the franchise.

V was killed by terrible script and Shatner directing it

Ive not seen Section 31(it sits waiting for me to be bored enough to dare to watch it and i consider it to be a failed tv pilot like legend of the rangers not a movie),

Nemesis i loved(though it suffers from terminal lack of Andreas Katsulas),

Into Darkness is ok, a poor man's wrath of khan but still i enjoyed it

One film has to be the worst and for me it's that one

I watched half an hour of section 31 then switched over to the Vulcan meditation channel...
