Few film franchises last for over thirty years. Sure, there’s stuff like Planet of the Apes that’s been around since 1968, but those have had long gaps between films… in one case ten years, in another case 28 years! Whereas Star Trek has been regularly releasing film after film since 1979, and the longest we’ve gone without a new one has been 6 years.

Of course, releasing movies that regularly means some of them will likely suffer in quality. Nonetheless, the Star Trek series has managed to keep a pretty good standard going, with the entire franchise averaging 67% on Rotten Tomatoes.

However, we’re going to take this opportunity to rank all of the Star Trek films, beginning with the worst, and working up to the best. And the biggest turkey of them all is of course….

Great list. You notice in Star Trek films that #s 1,3 and 5 are bad while 2,4 and 6 are great? This is the original cast first. TNG in ranking are right.

The link is not working. :(

As for the Original Movies I rank them the following:

Star Trek IV - The Voyage Home (This is also the funniest) :lol: :rofl: :rotflmao: :brent

Star Trek II - The Wrath of Khan

Star Trek VI - The Undiscovered Country

Star Trek: The Motion Picture

Star Trek III - The Search For Spock

Star Trek V - The Final Frontier (This is the :angryfire WORST :angryfire of the bunch)

Of The Next Generation Films I like Star Trek First Contact the best. :thumbsup:

I will agree with Regulus on this. My picks are the same as his. Star Trek IV the voyage home, is still my favorite, even over the new Star Trek movies.

The TOS films are better than the TNG ones. Only ranking them (and not the two new films from 2009 and 2013)

II Wrath of Khan
IV Voyage Home
VI Undiscoverd Country
I The Motion Picture
III Search for Spock
V Forgot the title and do not care to look.

The TNG movies are AWFUL. The worst one of the bunch was Nemesis. Bad, bad, bad, bad. Actually if you go to You Tube and look up Red Letter Media, it states all my opinions perfectly on the suckitude of all of their movies.

The 2009 and the 2013 movies are crap too. They are crap because there is not much of a story and nothing but CGI action sequences and eye candy. The Into Darkness film (2013) is the better of the two but that is not saying much.

Star Trek needs another series. I think a quality 3D animated series would fit the bill nicely, and it would be a winner on a network, especially I think FOX.

Sarah and Captain Logan respond to the fans' choice at this year's Las Vegas Star Trek convention of "Star Trek: Into Darkness" as the worst Trek movie ever made.

TOS=The Original Series. (1966)

TNG=The Next Generation. (1987)

The TOS films will better than the TNG films. In my opinion, all the TNG films were crap, and although I would watch any of the TOS films again anytime, the TNG films were too painful to watch again.

Favorites (Best to worse in my opinion):

Star Trek IV and II, tie. If you put a gun to my head, then IV was slightly better than II. IV was very original and had a good plot. II was a continuation of a TOS TV series episode, also gve the great Ricardo Moltaban a legenday screen credit for an actor mainly known for television series, like the (in my opinion)the awful Fantasy Island.

Star Trek VI. Good movie. Sort of a bridge between the TOS series and the newer 1990's Trek with the fall of the Klingon Empire. Bad thing was that the series regulars were getting a big "long in the tooth" so to speak, and especially Deforrest Kelley, who was getting very old here. But a good story with Christopher Plummer.

Star Trak I (The Motion Picture). I liked this film, although I think they went for too much Science Fiction, if that makes any sense. they tried to make it too 2001, and not Trek. it was also cobbled together from a failed Trek 1970's TV series (Second Phase). I liked the story. Bad? The uniforms the people wore were icky (with too much package.....Google Commander Decker).

Sort of a debate of which were the worst of the last two.......

Star Trek V was sort of silly. Went for a new story, and wasn't that great. The critics were getting on that the old "crew" was getting too old, and the plot was sort of meh. But it was okay. I liked the Spock's half brother and his motley bnd of people who managed to hijack the Enterprise to meet God. It was interesting to a point. But they could have done VI as V and been done with it. Shatner directed this film for what it is worth.

Star Trek III. This was the "bridge film" between II and IV. Great thing, Christopher Llyod as the villian Klingon. With Fielding from Night Court as a First Officer. Pretty much a film to make up for Leonard Nimoy wanting to quit the series and then wanting to come back (for more money). Nimoy has always been at odds with his Spock character, not wanting to be typecast in that role, but seeing he could not escape it (his books 'I am not Spock' and 'I am Spock').

TNG films, worse than the TOS films.

Geesh, which one stunk the most? Thay all sucked. In leiu of my own opinion, YouTube or Live Leak (Red Letter Media; Star Trek). The guy narrating will tell you 99% of my opinion of why the TNG movies just sucked you know what. The 1% I disagree with is when he disses Marina Sirtis. Yeah, Sirtis, wasn't much of an actress, but she was damn hot. Especially since I like Dark haired, brown eyed women. Moving on.

I have to go from worst and move forward.

Nemesis (the last TNG film). This film blew more chunks than a frat boy at a keg party. Good (yes...I guess) was when the agent smuggled in that face melting weapon to kill the Romulan Senate. That was it. Some idiot guy, (a Reman) who was mad at Picard for having to be clone of Picard. This was totally idiotic. So many plot holes. Just bad. Violence, stupidity, more plot holes.

Tom Hardy who played Shinzon did some other good stuff. See the film Bronson (warning, full frontal nudity). That was a great film.

Generations. The "bridge film" between the TOS series and the TNG. With Picard and Kirk fighting some senior citizen bad guy for some reason. Plus horsey rides. Dreck

The one where they went to that Planet of perpetual youth. The woman love interest was hot. otherwise sucks (see Red Letter Media from the site above). Only good thing, when they stretched the skin, like in the film Brazil. Still sucked.

The one where they fought the Borg and went back in time so the dude (James Cromwell) could make his first warp drive. This one also had many glaring, stupid and inconsistant plot holes. Best of the worst however. The only film of the TNG bunch that I would not turn off if it were the only film available in my prison cell at night. James Cromwell is a great actor who apparently loves Trek, and he was the hilight of this film. If there was any hilghlight at all (besides Riker seeing Troi drunk and not getting any).

That's my opinion and I am sticking to it.
