I agree with your comparison of the Trek films vs. series.I've thought about this comparison of film vs. series. A TV series has more time to experiment and develop the characters and milieu. So, when successful, the result is sometimes more impressive than a movie because they producers had the leisure to get it right.
However, a film is usually a one-shot deal (not talking about franchises like Trek). The producer and director have to concentrate the creativity on one bang. Films that are recognized as classics can be considered much more successful than TV because they didn't have all those hours to hone and develop the product.
