Right, it would be a little anti-climactic to time the movie in the middle
of
the voyage home, when everyone knows it ends with the effective end of the
Borg.
Not impossible, just tricky.
I've heard the "wouldn't make money" argument, and for no objective reason,
I just don't believe it's the only argument against the Voyager movie.
Writing as someone who likes Voyager next best to the original series,
there's a sense that the producers really had their heart in TNG, and
were fixated on making those movies work. At the point "First Contact" was
such
an obvious success, Voyager's chances probably dropped like a rock.
Another success like "First Contact" might have set them up with a franchise
akin to James Bond. Another reason, and again, this is just personal,
Patrick Stewart has enormous audience respect, and is also very well
respected in the theater community. (I had a friend in England who knew
him personally, and he has a fantastic reputation as an actor.) Frankly,
I rarely like his acting, and thought his character was unsympathetic and
wooden.
Mulgrew acted well (sometimes very well) and her character was, at
least to me, more believable as a commander. Maybe if she shaved her
head she would have had the sort of transparent audience identification
which
appeals to Hollywood financiers. Gripe, gripe, gripe. Lol.

movie ????
The owners of the Star Trek franchise appear to believe a Voyager film
would not be able to make money.
Besides, they got home, so what else is there to make a "Voyager" movie
about?!?!?
You could make a movie using the Voyager crew, but since they split up
and went various directions that's difficult too. You could potentially
make a "mid-quel" movie that's set during the time they were still
lost, but aging actors make that difficult to impossible to do.
There's no Deep Space 9 movie either. The obvious thing to do would be
make a movie that has some of the characters from the three new
generations of Star Trek.
