I think it's pretty clear at this point that there won't be another TNG movie. There has never been one for DS9 or VOY and won't either, especially since all the relevant actors have moved onto other projects. The only thing we've had since is a TOS reboot.
I was thinking... what about a wrap-up movie for the TNG/DS9/VOY series trilogy? It wouldn't have to be about any particular ship or space station. It would essentially be about Starfleet and the Federation, a number of key people and their reports who are involved with addressing a few serious threats that were still looming out there when Voyager ended: the Borg and the Dominion. Of course, there could be time spent aboard a future Enterprise and/or DS9 with someone else in command. But the story itself would be primarily from a Starfleet HQ perspective.
When Voyager ended, we're left knowing that the Borg are out there in a very significant expanse. They've got transwarp hubs reaching to each quadrant. Although species 8472 could beat the Borg, the Voyager crew gave the Borg the technology to defeat them. Eventually species 8472 retreated back to fluidic space, presumably to stay there unless the Borg tried to seek them out again, using their new-found technique of destruction.
When DS9 ended, the Dominion war was over, but the Dominion was far from being completely defeated. They retreated back to the Gamma quadrant. Yet, who knows if they would eventually try to take over the Alpha quadrant again.
The story I'm imagining is that the Borg haven't given up. They start attacking the Romulans, Klingons, Andorians, and the bulk of the Federation simultaneously. Voyager helped arm the Federation with far greater means of defense and offence, but it's not enough for the degree of invasion taking place. The necessary union of Alpha quadrant forces is made, but analysis proves that it's just not enough. They need the Dominion to help. When the Vorta are contacted, their first response is "Well, let the Borg defeat you. The job will be done for us." Only, they are informed that the Borg will go after the Dominion as well and at that point, they will be unstoppable. After some discussion, the Vorta agree. An alliance is made.
But the Borg have proven to be even stronger than before. They have developed nanoprobe missiles that when striking a ship, send swarms of nanoprobes all throughout it, converting the ship and crew to Borg technology in a matter of minutes. The Romulans are completely overwhelmed and their entire civilization is converted to Borg. We even see what appear to be Borgified Romulan ships come attacking (Romulan ship shape, but with a Borg like skin and weaponry).
It begins to look like it's over... too late for humanity and all sentient life. All species are destined to become Borg. But Admiral Riker reminds the Federation about some banished technology... and they are forced to dust off the plans for an interphasic cloaking device. Using this, the Borg missiles would be ineffective. And a Federation ship would be able to fly through a Borg ship, depositing an anti-matter explosive inside. It becomes a race against time to put it into action.
In the end, the Borg are finally defeated. Special probes containing anti-Borg viruses are sent out to find the last vestiges of Borg infiltration. Although the transwarp hubs were destroyed in the conflict, the technology was analyzed enough before hand so that they may be recreated, further uniting the Federation and other galactic interests. At first, it looked as though the Dominion would seek to gain a foothold in the Alpha quadrant, by taking over the former Romulan empire worlds. But it is uncovered that a rogue faction was responsible for the incursion. In the end, Vulcan expands to occupy Romulus... but not exclusively, as they invite other species to coexist with them.
At last, it looks like the Federation and its allies will have a peace that will endure for the foreseeable future. All is well.
So... just my idea of a wrap-up movie. Thoughts or alternatives?
