Of the following Star Trek movie directors who have twice directed a Star Trek film, who has done the best job?
Nicholas Meyer - Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country
Leonard Nimoy - Star Trek III: Search For Spock, Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home
Jonathan Frakes - Star Trek: First Contact, Star Trek: Insurrection
J.J. Abrams - Star Trek '09, Star Trek Into Darkness

I'd have to go with Nimoy for consistency. Wrath of Khan is my favorite Star Trek movie but The Undiscovered Country was pretty uneven to say the least, although a big step up from Final Frontier.
Search for Spock and The Voyage Home were both interesting and fun to watch.

Not even question. WoK and TUD are the two best Trek movies, and Meyer also wrote the third best.

Meyer, easily. The Wrath of Khan and The Undiscovered Country are the best of the TOS movie by far.
Nimoy's first movie (The Search For Spock) was OK, but it felt more like an extended TV episode than a film and, while The Voyage Home was a good movie, it too lacked a certain cinematic gravitas.
Frakes directed the best of the TNG movies (First Contact), followed by the clunker that was Insurrection.
And Abrams clearly wanted to be making a Star Wars movie when he directed his reboots.

I pretty much agreed with most of what you said. Except, that I thought, "The Search For Spock" was better that "The Undiscovered Country"... But, I still voted for Nicholas Meyer. The amount of comedy in "The Voyage Home" was just a bit too much for my taste in Star Trek films, and it just sticks out like a "sore" thumb, compared to the other films involved in this particular poll. |

The Voyage Home is very much its own thing. Has a bit of a time travel comedy vibe going on (even the soundtrack contributes to this feel). It's VERY 80s and, as such, seems rather old-fashioned when viewed today. It's an utterly likeable movie, however, even if it is far from epic. |
