The thing about movies 3, 4, and 6 was this:

Nimoy had some control over all three. He directed 3 & 4, and for 6 he was behind the story (with Konner and Rosenthal of "Planet of the Apes" fame). And Meyer was friends with Nimoy since his contributions on 2 and 4.

In the aftermath of Roddenberry's disengagement from the franchise, you had two camps of thought with the ability to produce material for the franchise. The Nimoy-Bennett-Meyer group, and the Berman-Piller-Taylor group. And the two didn't get along all that well. They came from very different traditions, and the Berman group was very much "THE BERMAN SHOW (and you're just living in it)".

Now, Berman did understand that Nimoy was better at making MOVIES, where you only get two hours and you cannot afford the script to be a dud. So he called in Nimoy for Generations; Spock one look at the script, told him it was a dud and that it needed a total rewrite, and Berman told him to GTFO.
