What makes a great Star Trek villain? That’s easy. It’s always been about character. They’re never one-dimensional. (Unless you count Harry Mudd, played more for comic relief than anything else.) They’re sympathetic. The same goes for pegging a great Star Trek alien.

The curious case of the Star Trek universe is that strange as they may appear, the aliens featured are not always evil, or particularly threatening. Some aliens from the original series were great for an episode, but how could you expand it to something along the lines of Khan? We’re talking Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan the second time around (or, technically, the third time), in Star Trek Into Darkness, despite a great performance by the wonderfully versatile Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock), didn’t leave us feeling much of anything, except the after effects of a bad rerun.

The original series is full of colorful aliens, humanoid aliens, oddly shaped aliens that Roberto Orci and the other screenwriters can confidently look to the original Star Trek series for inspiration.

Let’s look at the five best aliens worthy of the big screen treatment.

And the end result of this? J.J. Abrams is not doing a 3rd one. What did he do instead? He high tailed it over to Star Wars.
