There is a guide to watching the Star Trek movies.
It is easy to watch a movie in order if the numbers are on the end of the title. When the process starts from scratch, things can get a little confusing.
The odd-numbered ones are not as good as the even- numbered ones. Once you reach the tenth entry in the series, the films starring the cast of The Original Series are over. It would be worthwhile to have a list of the worst Star Trek movies to avoid. We are not going to say everything here is worth two hours of your day, but we will let you know which came out after which.
We have a list of the best Star Trek: The Original series episodes or the best Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes. Either one will get you ready for the weekend. If you want to know where to watch the movies and shows online, consult our guide.
There is a quick version of our list if you need to check something to win an argument, but it comes with a lot of in-universe time travel-related caveat that we will explain below.
While the Star Trek films travel back and forth in time, they also have different timelines for now. The films of the original crew are all in the Prime Timeline.
The Original Series movies and The Next Generation movies are split into two separate films.
The movie brought the voyages of the U.S.S. enterprise to the big screen. Everything is being destroyed by an energy cloud. Kirk and his crew discover a NASA probe at the center of the cloud. After discovering a planet of living machines and returning home to report its findings, no one knew how to answer. The film is a slow paced one, but there is a classic Star Trek at the center of it.
If you ask a Star Trek fan what the best Star Trek movie is, you will get Khan as your answer. Khan is a sequel to the events of the "Space Seed" episode of The Original Series with Khan throwing reason to the wind as he hunts James T Kirk. Montalban gave us a Khan with charisma and obsession.
The second Star Trek movie is called The Wrath of Khan.
The premise for Spock's return was set up in the third entry of the series. Search for Spock is a movie about a crew trying to get Spock's consciousness back after he was injured. The rebirth of Spock and the death of Kirk's son are important events in the movie. From now on, that will be important.
If Star Trek fans don't say Khan is the best Star Trek movie, it's very likely they will say Voyage Home is. The film is about creation repairing the devastating effects of humankind's ecological short-sightedness.
The power of everything in the path of the probe is knocked out as it searches for someone to respond to its message. The intended recipient this time is the long- extinct blue whale. Kirk and his team went back in time to San Francisco to get some blue whales. The eco-messaging doesn't get in the way of a great movie.
The film was doomed by the writers' strike and Shatner's directorial skills. Spock's half-brother hijacks the Enterprise so that he can meet God and he believes to be himself. Some Star Trek fans like this movie because it shows the camaraderie of Kirk, Spock, and McCoy when they aren't on duty.
If you are talking to a Star Trek fan, they will almost certainly name Undiscovered Country as the best Star Trek movie of all time, even if they don't like either Khan or Voyage Home. The entire race of Klingons is at risk. The diplomacy of the Klingons is hosted by the Enterprise.
Kirk's son was murdered by the Klingons. He certainly hasn't stopped talking. Kirk was the perfect patsy for the murder of the Klingon Chancellor because of his rage. Christopher Plummer is perfect as a Shakespeare quoted general with no desire for peace.
The crew of The Original Series gave the torch to The Next Generation. They all tried to get Kirk and Picard into the same film and have it make sense. There is a giant space rainbow outside of space-time that is controlled by a scientist named Soran.
When his home world was destroyed, Soran lost his family, so he wants to join them in the Nexus. There is a chance of a meeting between Kirk and Picard because he is not a villain. It's possible but not all that sensible.
For real, if your Star Trek friend didn't pick Khan or Voyage Home... In First Contact, the collective travels back in time in order to disrupt First Contact, the day Earth's first venture into space attracted the attention of the Vulcans. The Borg Queen wants Data to have some human skin so she can torment him with visions of the past.
The fight with the Borg is thrilling and the work on the surface to get first contact back on track is enjoyable. Patrick Stewart is one of the few people who can turn it up to 11 as he lashes out at his enemies.

Insurrection is an episode that was inflated for a big screen movie. The Ba'ku have access to exceptional technology, which they don't use because they prefer a simpler lifestyle.
Picard gets to knock boots with a local and the villains are Federation allies. Rekindling the romance between Riker and Troi is related to Insurrection.
Insurrection is a Star Trek movie.

Before he mumbled his way into our hearts as Bane, he was a clone of Picard the Romulan. The only thing that will save him is Picard's blood. Shinzon is a megalomaniac who would like to destroy all life on Earth and maybe a few other planets.
After Data was killed with a noble sacrifice, he was resurrected moments later in a duplicate body.
It wasn't until a few years later that anyone tried to bring the Enterprise back to the big screen. Rather than relying on any of the TV crews, this new slate of movies would serve as a reboot, welcoming new audiences while honoring long time fans. There is a new website called theKelvin Timeline. Check out the explained article for all the ins and outs.
There is a movie called Star Trek: Nemesis.

It's time to go back to the beginning. James T Kirk, Spock, and "Bones" McCoy are introduced to us in Star Trek. The plot of Nero trying to destroy the Earth is fairly simple. The most important thing is how it all came to be. Spock tried to save Romulus from being destroyed by a supernova in the future, but failed. His ship and Nero's are kicked back in time, setting off a chain of events that are different from the "true" timelines.
The U.S.S.Kelvin is destroyed in the opening scene of the movie.

It is possible for Star Trek to explore canon material, such as Khan, but also to do something completely new with it. Khan doesn't have a beef with Kirk. Khan's crew is forced to make weapons of mass destruction because of the threat of a Starfleet admiral.
Khan kills Captain Pike and a bunch of other people when he escapes captivity. Kirk sacrificed himself to save his crew as they took Khan down. Kirk gets better moments later thanks to Khan's super blood, so don't fret.
There is a new Star Trek movie.

The movie benefits from the fact that Kirk, Spock, and McCoy have had some time together. Many of the crew are marooned on the planet after being lured to Altamid. Krall wanted to return to a place where war is the order of the day.
There are two reasons why Beyond is important in the timelines. It was sad to mark the death of Spock Prime. The five-year-mission that began in 1966 is the end of it.
The release order is the same as the chronological order that we've shown above, so if you can't remember, we have good news for you.
The fate of the 14th was hidden within a cloud of conflicting information as the full run of Star Trek films came to a close. It's likely that the December 22, 2023 date for "Star Trek 4" will be changed due to the fact that filming hasn't begun yet. The agents of the selfsame actors disputed a claim by Paramount that the principal cast would return for the fourth part of the Kelvin timeline. A bit awkward.
Chris Pine eventually signed on the dotted line and his shipmates followed suit. Kirk, Spock, and other characters from The Boys are ready to beam, assuming he can make it work around filming. This will be the first film in which Yelchin won't be playing Chekov. There was an accident at Yelchin's house. It is not known if Chekov will be replaced on the bridge of the Enterprise or not.
He won't be directing Star Trek 4 but Matt Shakman will take on the responsibility of producing. Chris Pine told Deadline that he hopes the film tells a smaller story that appeals to the core Trek audience. He wants to make a movie for people who love Star Trek and want to see it. If people would like to come to the party, let's make it for them. The disappointment with recent Trek films hasn't been their content so much as their box office. A Trek film with a smaller scope and budget would likely have a healthy profit margin and appeal to the fans.
With no new announcements coming from San Diego Comic-Con, we will have to wait for more information on the next Star Trek movie. Recent comments from Paramount CEO Brian Robbins have us cautiously optimistic, as he told Variety: "We're getting close to the starting line and excited about where we're going creatively."
