I know it's not a popular take, but I really liked The Motion Picture. It was way more Star Trek than most of the other action based movies.
1 and 2 are probably the best Star Trek movies out there. 4 is pretty good too, but I'm not a big fan of time travel in Star Trek (some exceptions, but for the most part time travel stories are pretty weak)
I enjoy the motion picture, but I also understand it is hard for some to sit through. Insurrection has the most, this could be an episode feel for me. Which is how I rate how much Trek something is.
I also found Beyond to be very Trek. Certainly the most Trek feeling of the newer movies.
Yes, I enjoy beyond as well.
It's a really good well made philosophical movie, it just doesn't have a lot of the action and drama I think a lot of fans expect in a "movie". I appreciate that Trek's film debut wasn't just some extended episode but a bold™ move.
