Prior to Red Letter Media 'exposing' it a decade ago, I think First Contact worked for the time it was made. It got a lot of kids into the TNG crew on the big screen more so than Generations managed, but it was also lightning in a bottle that they wasted years of Voyager trying to recapture. Even Picard season three ended up being "see this is the First Contact sequel you always wanted". If you weren't still too cosy with First Contact, I don't know how much mileage you can get out of that (and I know you wanted more of a Dominion War follow-up with that)

First Contact came out just before the Trek bubble was about to burst and was at the peak of the franchise in the 90s. Voyager was fresh, DS9 seemed primed to have the torch passed to it theatrically...but that's the thing, the latter didn't happen. I think if the next movie had been a Dominion-themed TNG/DS9 crossover they'd have maintained momentum.
