By far my least favourite of the 3. Plus it destroyed the new Trek franchise. But critics generally praised it, and it was a bit more Trekky, so best to see it yourself and decide.
Seemed to me though like they were trying to do too many things at once, (a bit like Rise of Skywalker). A failed attempt to please the hardcore fans whilst simultaneously bring in the big box office dollars.
Undiscovered Country. Nicholas Meyer, director of Wrath of Khan, returned to direct a film that had some of the best social commentary and analogues along with dialogue in Trek's history.

Wrath of Khan. Just a great stand alone Star Trek movie. You really don't even have to have watched any of the original series or any other Ster Trek movie to enjoy it. Great performance by Ricardo Montalban as Khan. Great plot. Best acting by the original cast in any of their Star Trek films. Great battle in the Mutara Nebula. One of the best death scenes of all times.
This is a great point: my dad, who doesn't have much interest in Star Trek or sci-fi in general, sat my brother and I down on a Memorial Day or 4th of July and had us watch Wrath of Khan together. I've NEVER seen my dad watch another Star Trek film except maybe First Contact, and yet he still thought it was a definitive piece of film to watch. It is the quintessential Trek film.
Can't believe people are shitting on Beyond when the utterly awful, soulless Into Darkness exists.

What issues do you have with it?
I feel like it tries to do too much at once. It tries to be too many things. It wants to be a comedy, a horror movie, an action movie and a character study at the same time.
Plus, and I say this as someone who loved the Borg redesign and the action scenes and the use of a Borg queen... It's completely at odds with TNG, especially I, Borg.
