Does anyone find Star Trek II-V very (aesthetically) dated?

I find them all dated in one sense or another. However, the OP left out TMP, which I think may be one of the most 'dated' of all of the movies. It's so very very obviously late 70's - McCoy's chest hair and medallion is only the tip of the iceberg.

I think the costumes and hair date the movie, but the epic scope, cinematography and FX give it a 'classic' film feel that kind of makes it look less dated than some of the ones that followed in my view.
 
Bones' arrival is the most obviously late 70s moment of TMP, but no more contemporary to the film's time than David Marcus with his preppie sweater over the shoulders. :)
The sweater looks a helluva lot less silly than Disco McCoy, though.
