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

      I love this discussion.

      Star Trek VI is precious to me for reasons of special memories seeing it with my father. So I know I watch it with rose colored glasses.

      It’s neat to see some validation that it’s actually really good film.

        It’s a good story on it’s surface, but somehow also packs in a really good metaphor for the end of the Cold War, AND a metaphor about Star Trek as a franchise. Simply the best.

      @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
