In your guys' opinion out of the last movies: The Undiscovered Country for TOS and Nemesis for TNG, Which crew had the best send off?
Which Crew had the Better Send off? TOS or TNG.

I voted TOS. But it wasn't really a send off. Enterprise was decommissioned. Everybody went his way after that. In both cases there were no celebrations, and some of the crew accepted different jobs. The things that happened after the respective good-byes have been dealt with in the novels.
Nemesis left a bad taste in my mouth because of Data's death. Reading the Cold Equations trilogy at the moment, that feeling has passed, though.
As to TUC: I liked the signatures in the closing credits.

TOS. TUC was a far better film than Nemesis and felt more final, what with the ship being decommissioned and the looming spectre of retirement for most of the crew.
Definitely TUC. Despite it's age, it's still a great movie and at least a solid send-off as the crew's last hurrah. Nemesis was absolutely terrible. It wasn't even good when it came out, let alone a decade later.
^Yuh. TNG didn't get a send-off, so TOS wins by default. And if it was best TV send-off, the reverse would be true.
Nah, that would be TATV...
...
just kidding. Don't kill me.
The tagline for Nemesis was "A Generation's Final Journey Begins." It was intended to be the last film unless it was an absolute box office smash, in which case I'm sure the studio would have found a way to get the crew back together again for one more milking of the cash cow.
I'd say TUC wins by a small margin. I like both movies as "middle tier" Trek films, but TUC was a bit more nostalgic and warm than NEM, which made it a better farewell film.

What about DS9?
Huh? Huh? huh?

Is there a DS9 movie out there that I've missed? If so, I'd love to see it.
From Kirk's last log entry it sounded more like a new captain and crew were going to take the Enterprise out on a new mission, and not that it was going to be decommissioned. The senior officers were retiring, not the ship.
How much time passed between the end of TUC and the commissioning of the Enterprise B is unclear.

Enterprise-A didn't strike me as old enough to be decommissioned, either. Bottom line it that the crew parted....
I would say TUC.
Uhura states they've been ordered back to dock to be decommissioned in the movie.
Just a year passed in the TOS timeframe between The Undiscovered Country and Generations from what I understand. Working backwards from the '78 Years Later' at the beginning of the NextGen portion of the film would put the TOS piece in 2294.
Not even close for me.
NEM was perhaps the biggest missed opportunity in all of Star Trek. From the script to the direction to the...everything. Just bad.
TUC was a great send-off film -- fun, adventurous, character growth, a sense of finality....all with a discernible broader moral commentary that demonstrated Trek still had something to actually say.

TOS wins. No question. I wish Nemesis had more... but it went out with a whimper.
I know, yet there is Kirk's last log entry.
I think Kirk was simply waxing poetic about the future. It would've been a downer if he said the ship was being sent to the scrapyard.
