Star Trek: Nemesis

This really and truly may be "it" for the franchise, and I can't say leaving off wouldn't be a bad idea. Nothing particularly memorable hits the screen here. In fact, it plays like a standard issue Star Trek movie, and that doesn't fly anymore. And, beyond the tired formula, it suffers in comparison with other recent sci-fi: too slow, plodding, unimaginative, and technically lagging. The only real benefit: seeing old friends, perhaps for the last time (at least in this context). For die hard fans, it's enough. Others can skip it.
