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.

    • @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

    1. Wrath of Khan
    2. First Contact
    3. Insurrection
    4. Voyage Home
    5. Nemesis
    6. The Undiscovered Country
    7. Generations
    8. Search for Spock
    9. Motion Picture
    10. Final frontier

    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.

      • I just binged watched those movies(tos) as it was the last thing I needed to watch to see all of trek.

        2, 3, and 4 were really good, but 5 was very tough. It made it difficult for me to enjoy 6.

        But at least I don’t have to watch it again 😂

    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
