Here’s mine:

  1. The Undiscovered Country

  2. Wrath of Khan

  3. Voyage Home

  4. Motion Picture

  5. Search for Spock

  6. Generations

  7. First Contact

  8. Final frontier

  9. Insurrection

  10. Nemesis

I’m not a fan of any of the Kelvinverse films, BUT if forced to rank them, it would be like this:

  1. Beyond
  2. Into Darkness
  3. Star Trek

EDIT: Apparently everyone on this website is insane

    \1. Star Trek VI

    Very tight film. Christopher Plummer is excellent.

    \2. Star Trek II / III / IV (as a complete Trilogy)

    Can’t separate these just like the LoTR films, anyways you got KHAN, the sacrifice of the Enterprise and Double Dumbass on you. Excellent trilogy.. (Note: Khan/Voyage/Search is the order of likeness)

    \3. First Contact

    It’s the borg, gotta give it up for the Borg 👏

    \4. Galaxy Quest

    Never give up, never surrender!

    \5. Star Trek TMP

    Fuck you I LIKE Enterprise beauty shots set to Jerry Goldsmith music. With that said I like the story and character arcs of Kirk and Spock.

    \6. Generations

    It’s OK. The rest of the DS9 uniform replacements won’t arrive til Tuesday

    \7. Star Trek V

    Underrated. Has its moments. I think Sybok gives an excellent performance otherwise forgettable movie

    \8. Star Trek Kelvin I

    It’s OK. Karl.Urban nails Bones.

    Didn’t see the others. I haven’t been sold on seeing Insurrection and Nemesis ever despite easily able to and apparently I should give Beyond (Kelvin III) a chance.

    Edit: so the numbers all got changed to 1 when posted and using ol reliable backslash to fix it did but left the slashes? I give up.

      I love this discussion.

      Star Trek VI is precious to me for reasons of special memories seeing it with my father. So I know I watch it with rose colored glasses.

      It’s neat to see some validation that it’s actually really good film.

        It’s a good story on it’s surface, but somehow also packs in a really good metaphor for the end of the Cold War, AND a metaphor about Star Trek as a franchise. Simply the best.

      @GreenMario@lemm.ee, I seem to have discovered that you are my Star Trek preference twin.

      Although, I would personally put Star Trek (2009) a bit ahead of V The Final Frontier, our teens profoundly negative reaction to it would make put it at the back or at best tied. There has been utter refusal from them to even attempt to watch Into Darkness and Beyond. Stuck watching them on my own, Beyond is a head shaker that spends all its time distracting from what could have been a good story with utter silliness like a motorcycle found randomly on a ship.

      Into Darkness is in its own way as much a complete head scratcher as The Final Frontier, but with A list casting and more appalling results. In both cases, you can see the traces and structure of what might have been an interesting movie if only a massive train derailment hadn’t beset production somewhere and somehow.

      I did however see Insurrection at first release as a family outing with the in-laws. It was fine, and worth a watch at home. In fact, its main issue is that it felt like it should be a made for cable movie rather than a cinematic release. There so much more awful stuff out there by comparison. Nemesis for a Trek example. By half way through I was was wanting to get back the ridiculously self indulgent Picard dune buggy opening sequence.

      My final ranking.

      1./ VI - The Undiscovered Country

      2./ II, III, IV the complete trilogy

      3./ First Contact

      4./ I - The Motion Picture (I enjoy it more as I age and it’s remastered.)

      5./ Galaxy Quest

      6./ Insurrection

      7./ Generations (It happened.)

      8./ TIE V - The Final Frontier & Star Trek (2009)

      9./ TIE Nemesis & Beyond

      10./ Into Darkness

    Ok but flawed films: 1,3,9,5,7

    Derivative and unnecessary, but sometimes charming films: 11,13

    Very few redeeming qualities and should never have been made: 10,12

    1. Star Trek VI - The Undiscovered Country - Wild card, I watched this with my dad, so it’s my overall favorite for personal reasons. I’ll defer to others on whether it really belongs at #1.
    2. First Contact - Viola Davis is a national treasure and her performance elevates this film.
    3. Voyage Home - The OG cast performing in peak conditions.
    4. Wrath of Khan - It’s ricidulous to put this masterpiece this low on my list. I’m sorry, and I will rethink my life.
    5. Generations - Has a little is everything. I probably rank it higher because it is a celebration of Trek history. But that said, for the number of cast and cameos, this is a surprisingly great movie.
    6. 09 Yes, it’s a popcorn blockbuster, but Chris Helmsworth’s opening scene is a masterful performance, and plenty of solid Star Trek follows. Zoe Saldana is a national treasure and elevates this movie. Leonard Nimoy delivers another fantastic performance.
    7. Beyond - The Yorktown is one of the coolest things I’ve seen in scifi, and the movie is solid.
    8. Nemesis - An important chapter in Brent Spiner’s decades long perfected Pinochio story.
    9. Into darkness - Zoe Saldana is a national treasure and is unfortunately not in the remaining films in my list. I’m saying this tongue-in-cheek since plenty of Trek actors deserve highlighted here.

    After this point, I really like the remaining films, but not enough to have strong feelings to rank them.

    10-12) Search, Insurrection, Final Frontier

    1. The Motion Picture - Still a pretty great film, but the pacing issues prevent me from rewatching it often.

    All of them? Okay:

    1. First Contact
    2. IV
    3. VI
    4. I
    5. II
    6. Generations
    7. Insurrection
    8. Search for Spock
    9. Nemesis
    10. Final Frontier

    But in reality, All Good Things should have been a Trek film with a higher budget, because that would have been the best of the films by far.

    I don’t like the Kelvinverse films either but I guess I like the first one the most, the other two are so dumb it makes my brain hurt.

      I’m totally with you … especially on the “All Good Things” take … Q is as iconic to TNG as the Borg and it’s a shame he didn’t make it into a film.

      Interestingly, I’m thinking … how much could they have just swapped the stories of Generations and All Good Things? Seems oddly feasible, with the whole Kirk thing being the most awkward component to handle.

      Otherwise … my only change would be to put Generations further up on the list … I’m partial to it … maybe it’s just the look/cinematography of it?

        All Good Things is my favorite Trek episode of all time, next to Yesterdays Enterprise which actually also could have been a great movie :P

        Yeah Generations could have just been a decent finale for TNG with All Good Things being the big breakout film, I think that would have worked far better.

        Generations is a good movie IMO, I just think it’s weaker than a lot of the OG Trek films personally.

    The final frontier was bad. It was really bad. It had so much random stuff going on and had very little explanations about anything. They should have narrowed their focus a lot.

      Y’know I watched it recently and I was prepared for the worst, but it’s really not that bad. The plot is silly but there are some good character moments. It felt like TOS.

    I enjoyed the Kelvin films pretty equally. In wouldn’t have started watching Trek if it were not for 09. But I do see them as a separate thing.

      Big fan of Insurrection getting some respect! I love it for being the big budget, high production mashup of TNG that it clearly is, even though it also doubles down on the Picard-as-Action-Hero trend that ends up ruining Nemesis (IMO).

        Insurrection is not among my faves but for me it’s exactly what a Star Trek movie should be: a two parter episode with better budget.

    1. Voyage Home (the comedy and the whales)
    2. Galaxy Quest (perfect but needs to be 2. because it builds on Trek)
    3. Wrath of Khan (ear bugs)
    4. Star Trek - Kelvin (loved the restart with slight differences - enjoyed every nod and subversion)

      Putting Generations and Insurrection below Into Darkness is a slight I won’t tolerate. Whatever flaws those movies had, they at least tried to explore something about the human condition.

      And to have Nemesis above both of those… oof.

    I guess this is a hot take.

    • Wrath of Khan - Here it comes.
    • The Search for Spock - Your planet, welcome!
    • The Voyage Home - Gracie’s pregnant.
    • Star Trek 2009 - Tiberius? No that’s the worst.
    • The Undiscovered Country - What IS it with you?
    • First Contact - It’s a primitive culture!
    • Generations - It won’t be installed until Tuesday.
    • The Final Frontier - Not in front of the Klingons!
    • Beyond - We are not equipped for this method of combat
    • Into Darkness - Gorn C-section, those bastards bite!
    • The Motion Picture - Still puts me to sleep
    • Nemesis - I hated it more after the director commentary. DARK!
    • Howard the Duck - Better than Insurrection
    • Picard Season 2 - Still better than Insurrection
    • … (other movies here, like Lilo and Stitch 2)
    • Insurrection
