#1. Critics Consensus: Star Trek reignites a classic franchise with action, humor, a strong story, and brilliant visuals, and will please traditional Trekkies and new fans alike. Synopsis:...
- Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982) The second Star Trek feature film should have been a total cluster*$%#. Paramount had several different scripts they were considering, but they couldn’t find one they liked.
- Star Trek (2009) Prior to J.J. Abrams‘ big screen reboot of Star Trek, the franchise was dead as doornail. The previous TV series Enterprise never really clicked with viewers, becoming the first Trek show to get canceled since the original.
- Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986) Having gone through life, death, and life again together, the Enterprise crew needed to lighten up a bit.
- Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991) Since Star Trek V met horrible reviews and an underwhelming box office, the prevailing thought at Paramount was to reboot the original characters with a set of younger actors.

“A Generation’s Final Journey Begins,” boasted the theatrical poster for Star Trek: Nemesis, the fourth feature film to include the cast of the hit series Star Trek: The Next Generation. It’s also where their final journey ended, at least on the big screen. Nemesis failed to satisfy critics, casual filmgoers, or Trek devotees, opening at No. 2 at t...
During the original run of Star Trek in the 1960s, lead actors William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy had a “favored nations clause” incorporated into their contracts, stating that each actor was entitled to any raise in pay or perks received by the other. This clause remained intact during the franchise’s big screen revival in the late ‘70s and ‘80s, s...
2009’s Star Trek reimagined the brainy space procedural as a shiny, fast-paced action adventure, grabbing mainstream attention on an unprecedented scale. The Next Generation and its spin-offs were well-regarded, but now, suddenly, Star Trekwas … cool? Consequently, its sequel was granted a colossal $190 million production budget and preceded by a g...
Do you ever hear a cinephile refer to a real film that, as far as they’re concerned, “doesn’t exist?” We’re not talking about movies that are loathed and willfully forgotten, like Norbit or The Last Airbender, we mean films that were so promptly forgotten that they provoke no feeling whatsoever even from those who saw them, like Transcendence or Th...
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan was an instant classic that dug more deeply into the original show’s beloved characters than ever before, expanded the canvas of their lives, and delivered a powerful, emotional ending. So, it’s stunning that its immediate follow-up, The Search for Spock, willfully undermines it at nearly every turn. The Wrath of Kha...
If The Search for Spock is an ambitious story with an underwhelming production, then The Motion Picture is the reverse case. Academy Award-winning director Robert Wise took a screenplay adapted from what was meant to be the pilot to a new Star Trek TV series and, with the aid of an astronomical budget, tried to make it into his own 2001: A Space Od...
Whereas the classic Star Trek gained an obsessive fanbase in the decade following its cancelation, Star Trek: The Next Generation was a legitimate phenomenon in its own time, outshining the original series in terms of both commercial and critical success. With the original cast growing more expensive and less profitable on the big screen, it was pr...
When the first teaser trailer for Star Trek Beyond premiered online, die-hard Trekkies went into full panic mode. “It’s bad enough that Paramount hired the Fast & Furious guy to make Star Trek,” the nerds cried, “but now they’ve got Captain Kirk riding a dirt bike? Star Trek is ruined forever!” It surely was not, in fact, we’d argue that Justin Lin...
Star Trek is often serious business, an arena for complex characters to confront difficult ethical dilemmas that help audiences to confront the adversity and inequity they encounter in real life. But, it’s important to remember that Star Trek can also be very silly and that many of its most memorable moments are born from its dalliances in farce. T...
1996 could be considered the apex of Star Trek’s cultural relevance. The franchise was celebrating its 30th anniversary, both Deep Space Nine and Voyager were on television every week, and there was an absolute deluge of books, PC games, and other merchandise available. The cherry on top was Star Trek: First Contact, the second film to feature the ...

Is Star Trek The Next Generation a good movie?
- Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Is it the obvious choice? Yes, but it’s also the right one. Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan isn’t just great Star Trek.
- Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. This movie is just pure joy from start to finish. I’m sure it may have been tempting to try and do more of the same: send Kirk and the crew out on an interstellar mission to fight some intergalactic foe with some destructive weapon on the line.
- Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. There’s shorthand that claims that every even-numbered Star Trek is good and every odd-numbered Star Trek is bad.
- Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. This is where on this list that Star Trek actually starts to feel like Star Trek. One of the great things The Original Series did was to tell narratives that reflected real-world tensions.
