@@StrawberrySoaps Star Trek the motion picture director's cut 4K is a masterpiece. Great ranking pal! Insurrection is worse than the STMP: Theatrical cut so I'd put Insurrection below it. Also, I'd take Search for Spock over ST Beyond.
I personally would put First Contact and Wrath of Khan on the same level, but I know I would be in the minority there. I would definitely put First Contact above Voyage Home, and I LOVE Voyage home. Why does First Contact tie with Wrath for me? Because the Borg are Pickard's Khan.

I agree with the bottom and top of each list. I own 8 of the 13 movies. Star Treks 5 and 10 are a big no for me. The JJ Abrams films will never be part of my library!!!! oh yes I do love and own Galaxy Quest 😁
Star Trek 5 gets dragged through the mud, but it is the movie that focused the most on the Trinity. Kirk, Spock, and Bones were in almost every scene together.
@@aaronwilson4267 true but didnt you find the comedy of their interactions rather forced? And in emphasising those 3 the others were largely sacrificed by making them align with the enemy! That's not to say there arent some decent scenes in the movie, but I remember how disappointed I felt when I saw it in the cinema when it first came out, after enjoying IV so much previously. Thankfully VI was back to form.
There isn’t enough data to properly rank it, but I would be curious to see where Star Trek: The Motion Picture: The Director’s Edition (Presented in 4K) lands on the list. I think it is on par with the other films good films (if not better). The theatrical cut of the film is essentially a rough cut: Paramount would not allow the director Robert Wise to polish the film after the premiere (post production was extremely rushed) and the firsts cut was delivered the same day as the premiere) because the studio felt the press would ravage the film as a mess if it were fixed after the first showing (hurting the opening weekend box office). Now that the film is officially finished, I would saying it is a very solid picture. Alternatively, the changes between the director’s cuts of The Wrath of Khan and The Undiscovered Country are much smaller, and like most director’s cuts the editing is not as tight, but there are more character moments, so it really depends on what the viewer wants. Personally, I would rank TOS films as follows: 7. The Final Frontier 6. The Motion Picture (Theatrical Cut) 5. The Search for Spock 4. The Voyage Home 3. The Motion Picture (Director’s Edition) 2. The Undiscovered Country 1. The Wrath of Khan

One of the great things about TH-cam is that occasionally you find a really interesting channel. This is one such channel. Well done. WofK was fantastic!!!
Top 5 for me: 1) ST VI 2) ST II 3) First Contact 4) ST III 5) ST IV Damn, I mean ST III Search for Spock did need some editing here and there, but #7, IDK. Definitely have a relook of ST III, LT. Commander Uhuru even gets a chance to do something different here. Even though it's limited, she takes over the transporter station at the starbase and gets our crew on board the Enterprise. The Escape sequence can not be matched, in my opinion; think of it as a space opera for you when you are backing up your car out of a driveway. But it's done so much better. They should have flushed Capt. Kruge's character is out a bit better; maybe adding the part where he steals the bird of prey from the Romulans (non-cannon reference). JJ Abraham Trek doesn't come close, let alone beat out this movie, which you can still watch and be thrilled to watch it. How is ST VI towards the bottom of the list? It's one of the best send-offs I've ever seen.
I have into darkness at 13th place. For sure my list is different from both lists lol. With picard season 3 considered by some the final TNG finale/movie. Would be interesting to see how it would rate on the list

I mean, who chose him to direct the movies? Could you imagine saying that at a job interview for any job? "We want you to film Star Trek movies for us." "I hate Star Trek. It's lame. Don't really know much about it. But sure!" "Excellent! You're the perfect person for the job!" ???? It's hard to get more moronic than that
There was a time when I could rank these movies. But every Star Trek movie ever made I can easily watch and enjoy it. Even with the flaws, I still enjoy each one equally.
1. Undiscovered Country =2. The Wrath of Khan =2. The Voyage Home =2. First Contact daylight 5. Generations 6. The Search for Spock 7. Star Trek (2009) 8. Beyond (Galaxy Quest) 9. Into Darkness 10. Nemesis 11. Insurrection daylight 12. The Final Frontier 13. The Motion Picture
👍Galaxy Quest always has an honoured place in Star Trek. It has earned it and easily ranked number 6 - 8. I enjoyed your latest video and it inspired me to watch again your earlier Galaxy Quest video and then the movie.
Funny how people will say JJ abrams isnt “real trek” or “real star wars” then they will say spaceballs or galaxy quest counts as a franchise its making fun of? Non sense. Trek is trek, the orville isnt trek. Fan made youtube videos aren’t trek. Paramount owns it, those people are theives
1. Wrath 2. Undiscovered 3. Search for spock 4. First contact 5. Voyage home 6. 2009 7. Final frontier 8. Tmp 9. Nemesis 10. Into darkness 11. Insurrection 12. Generations (i saw you there, I saw you then... the saddest words "What might have been...") 13. Beyond. While technically a betrer film than into darkness it just ditched all believability too much for me.
Beyond is also easily my least favorite Star Trek movie and the only one I think is bad. I have watched it a couple times, thinking maybe I didn't give it enough of a chance the first time; and I probably will never watch it again. The ridiculous way the Enterprise is destroyed (everyone should be dead) and the stupid solution of playing music. It's beyond what is believable
I am a S.T. fan to my core! At 66 years old now, I loved the television show and was heartbroken when it ended. Thank God for Lucy keeping it alive. I loved all the movies! I will always be a S.T. fan no matter what! I wish the powers that be would stop messing around and make another one! Pleeessseee!
I love the Humour in Star Trek 5 Obviously I am pretty much alone in my thoughts and I love the fact the massive blooper of the same level going past our heroes as they shoot up the turbo lift on Spock's boots is still in the film!
I'd put any/all of the original crew movies ahread of Generations, Insurrection, Nemesis and Into Darkness. ST5 has its flaws but it's still a fun watch - and has the classic "what does God need..." line 🙂
Glad to see Generations getting some love I always thought it was good and also I think 2009 is really good and I have it 3rd after Khan and First Contact🖖🏿
1, Undiscovered Country 2, Wrath of Khan 3, First Contact 4, Search for Spock 5, Generations 6, Voyage Home 7, The Motion Picture 8, Nemesis 9, Insurrection 10, The Final Frontier 11, Star Trek (2009) 12, Into Darkness 13, Beyond
Enjoying the video. Great work guys. I've mixed agreements between the viewer and your own ranking. However I just want throw in my 10c. I think the best film is Star Trek VI, it's fantastic in nearly every way, plus on a shoestring budget at the time, still holds up today in terms of visuals.
The Final Frontier is definitely the weakest of the original films, but it has a few wonderful scenes. The opening and closing with Kirk, Spock, and McCoy camping are some of the best scenes in all the films. The scene where McCoy breaks free of Syboks control is also good. There are a few others too. Kirk: "Initiate emergency landing plan .......B". Chekov: "What's emergency landing plan B"? Scotty: "I don't have a clue". Kirk: "B. As in barricade". Scotty: "He can't be serious".
My ranking is different mostly because of my positive feelings about The Motion Picture, but I also share Roddenberry's issues with The Undiscovered Country. Galaxy Quest doesn't really do it for me, either, but I suppose I'd have to rank it over most of the TNG movies. --- The Great Ones --- 1. The Motion Picture 2. The Wrath of Khan 3. The Voyage Home 4. First Contact --- The Good Ones --- 5. Beyond 6. Star Trek '09 7. The Search for Spock --- The Okay Ones --- 8. The Final Frontier [Galaxy Quest] 9.

Anything good in Star Trek V is massively outweighed by the cringey and bad. Uhura's fan dance anyone? Yeesh. How about Scotty bumping his head against a beam? ho ho ho.
@@gunkulator1 Yeah those are garbage scenes and Kirk telling Spock to shoot Sybock is stupid, however the campfire scenes and the dynamic between the big three outway the movies flaws in my opinoin and if the effects were redone I think it would hold up a lot better
My Star Trek Ranking: 1. Wrath of Khan - Classic and extremely rewatchable 2. Undiscovered Country - Real character stuff 3. First Contact - Perfect follow up to TNG 4. Voyage Home - Fun, and super rewatchable 5. Search for Spock - had some cool scenes and lore 6. Nemesis - great character moments and rewatchable 7. The Motion Picture - Iconic, but just a bit padded out 8. Generations - Extended tv episode feel 9. Star Trek (2009) - Good for a few watches then becomes like a cosplay show 10. The Final Frontier - Had some great character moments but felt like a B-Movie version of Trek 11. Insurrection - Another TV Episode feeling entry, but without any redeeming quality 12. Into Darkness - Pirating ideas from other films and making a frankenstein's monster of a movie is not cool. 13. Beyond - Garbled action noise ala Fast and Furious
At age 43, lifelong fan, went to conventions, and raising my kids on chronological release order of Star Trek, my ranking: 1. ST:TMP 2. ST:III 3. ST:V (extra nostalgia points - saw it in one of the last U.S. Cinerama theaters) 4. ST:II 5. ST:IV 6. Galaxy Quest 27. Generations (but cannot watch Kirk’s death) 28. First Contact (but this is a break from Picard’s actual character 29. Insurrection (mostly harmless) 30. ST:VI. Forces the characters to not be their original versions. 31. Nemesis. Several Trek characters are recognizable but all are in a non-Trek movie. Not included on the list: those Bad Robot movies called “Star Trek” for some reason. I think he meant to call them “Star Trek: a JJ Star Wars Reboot Sizzle Reel” Oh and despite also being raised on all Star Wars and Marvel stuff, my kids love ST:TMP best of the movies.
🖖😎👍Very cool and very nicely well done and very nicely executed in every detail way shape and form provided on the format and subject matter on the ratings of all of these Major and wonderful Star Trek films for sure, A job very greatly well done by you guys indeed!,👌.
Seeing Wraith of Khan in a modern theatre was an experience i will never forget. The nebula battle was breath taking on the big screen. Sadly at my movie cinema Star Trek II was the only classic Star Trek movie.
I honestly wasn't even interested in Star Trek as a whole, although I did appreciate and enjoy Sci-Fi, until I saw Wrath of Khan while in the Air Force in the mid '80's... Since then, I've been a huge fan!! This listing is great.
This would be a difficult task. First, the Kelvin Universe is a completely Other take. The original cast has so much cache that I'd put all of theres on one scale and the Kelvin on another. Otherwise, for me, even though I enjoyed them, they'd be at the end of the list. Kind of the same with TOS and TNG. All TOS at the top (even 5), and TNG next. While Wrath of Kahn was better, The Motion Picture was great, as long as you take into account that ST movies were new and had a massive learning curve (how do you make something a decade after the show that ramps up to movie level? The intros of the characters was fantastic, and even the coast around Enterprise was amazing... speaking from seeing it in the theaters at the time).
Star Trek Beyond was awful. I'm shocked that it scored so high. Any of the J.J. Abrams movies are so bad they should be at the bottom. Chris Pine's version of Kirk is characature at it's worst.
My list best to worse ranking: The Wrath of Khan The Undiscovered Country First Contact The Voyage Home Galaxy Quest Generations The Search for Spock Beyond Insurrection The Motion Picture The Final Frontier Star Trek (2019) Nemesis Into Darkness
As with the earlier made series list, yours is the better, more accurate list of what's legitimately good Star Trek. This makes sense, because the averages from the population include people with a poor understanding of the material, a long with those with a deep understanding.

@@gunkulator1Perhaps, but the score is still light years ahead of anything from the JJ era. And there were some nice bits, before 'the Barrier' stuff... Watching JJ (and Kurtzman) Trek, well, it just isn't Trek, made by people (other than Terry Matalas) who know and seemingly care nothing about it.

So many people I know have dunked on Voyage Home for decades. When First Contact was named at third, I did a bit of a fist pump because that meant Voyage Home was considered the second best ST movie ever across the board.

Regarding TNG movies… I feel like a plot similar to Yesterday’s Enterprise or All Good Things would have been better over what they chose for Generations. An age old question who is better, Kirk or Picard, why not do that? I don’t mean in a adversarial manner but rather an anti nostalgia and differing in command style sort of way. Kirk is much more the Chaotic Good while Picard is Lawful Good. Have the Enterprise B (Kirk and whoever else is onboard at the time) crew travel to the Enterprise D era through a time anomaly. Picard greets the Enterprise B crew and is revelatory to Kirk, but then a crisis occurs and the two Enterprises have to deal with it. The crisis leads to strife between the two iconic captains, which is where the real conflict of the film happens. Perhaps Kirk violates the Prime Directive, Kirk disregard Picard’s protest, which leads to a skirmish between the Enterprise B and Enterprise D. The two captains then have to make amends when a larger threat arises (perhaps a Romulan ambush). The Enterprise D is heavily damaged like in Generations and the Enterprise B sacrifices itself to save the crew of the Enterprise D. The plot is straight forward, but the point of the film is to show the difference between the two captains and to warn against meeting your idols. The biggest issue with First Contact is Patrick Stewart is playing Die Hard Picard; he needed to be more regal. Also, Data isn’t a Terminator, but that’s nitpicking. I don’t have the energy to complain about Insurrection and Nemesis…
Personally, I would rank all the films as follows… 15. Into Darkness 14. Nemesis 13. The Final Frontier 12. The Motion Picture (Theatrical Cut) 11. Insurrection 10. Generations 9. The Search for Spock 8. First Contact 7. (2009) 6. Beyond 5. Galaxy Quest 4. The Voyage Home 3. The Motion Picture (Director’s Edition) 2. The Undiscovered Country 1. The Wrath of Khan
To be fair, Picard has disregarded the Prime Directive plenty of times as well. They both have violated the "Temporal Prime Directive" within their own movies. Picard once, arguably twice: using the Nexus to change events then (debatable) when he went back in time to stop the Borg and assist in First Contact (which is where the most egregious offense is, exposing the people of Earth to technology far beyond theirs before they even had taken their first warp flight).
I agree with most of this, but I'd put Galaxy Quest dead center, and move Star Trek 6 higher. I agree with the worst ones. Depending on my mood, sometimes I rank Into Darkness at the bottom, sometimes Nemesis, and 5 is always the one after that.

Glad to see new content. You guys are the best
At least yall get it, Popcast! About STV, and people missing the point about family and the character dynamic meant in the movie.
I agree with the bottom and top of each list. I own 8 of the 13 movies. Star Treks 5 and 10 are a big no for me. The JJ Abrams films will never be part of my library!!!! oh yes I do love and own Galaxy Quest 😁
Star Trek 5 gets dragged through the mud, but it is the movie that focused the most on the Trinity. Kirk, Spock, and Bones were in almost every scene together.
You aren't alone on Jar Jar Abrat's movies not being in your collection. He heeds to stay away from anything with Star in the title.
@@aaronwilson4267 true but didnt you find the comedy of their interactions rather forced? And in emphasising those 3 the others were largely sacrificed by making them align with the enemy! That's not to say there arent some decent scenes in the movie, but I remember how disappointed I felt when I saw it in the cinema when it first came out, after enjoying IV so much previously. Thankfully VI was back to form.
@@PC-vg8vn
True. I think I enjoy the flaws more than most.
Galaxy Quest was a fun movie, but neither it nor The Orville should be lumped in with Star Trek films.
"I stopped listening to you when you said you didn't like Star Trek" wow journey home was as real as you can get 😂.
I stopped listening when they counted the JJ verse
There isn’t enough data to properly rank it, but I would be curious to see where Star Trek: The Motion Picture: The Director’s Edition (Presented in 4K) lands on the list. I think it is on par with the other films good films (if not better). The theatrical cut of the film is essentially a rough cut: Paramount would not allow the director Robert Wise to polish the film after the premiere (post production was extremely rushed) and the firsts cut was delivered the same day as the premiere) because the studio felt the press would ravage the film as a mess if it were fixed after the first showing (hurting the opening weekend box office). Now that the film is officially finished, I would saying it is a very solid picture.
Alternatively, the changes between the director’s cuts of The Wrath of Khan and The Undiscovered Country are much smaller, and like most director’s cuts the editing is not as tight, but there are more character moments, so it really depends on what the viewer wants.
Personally, I would rank TOS films as follows:
7. The Final Frontier
6. The Motion Picture (Theatrical Cut)
5. The Search for Spock
4. The Voyage Home
3. The Motion Picture (Director’s Edition)
2. The Undiscovered Country
1. The Wrath of Khan
Personally, I would rank all the films as follows…
15. Into Darkness
14. Nemesis
13. The Final Frontier
12. The Motion Picture (Theatrical Cut)
11. Insurrection
10. Generations
9. The Search for Spock
8. First Contact
7. (2009)
6. Beyond
5. Galaxy Quest
4. The Voyage Home
3. The Motion Picture (Director’s Edition)
2. The Undiscovered Country
1. The Wrath of Khan
One of the great things about TH-cam is that occasionally you find a really interesting channel. This is one such channel. Well done. WofK was fantastic!!!
Top 5 for me:
1) ST VI
2) ST II
3) First Contact
4) ST III
5) ST IV
Damn, I mean ST III Search for Spock did need some editing here and there, but #7, IDK. Definitely have a relook of ST III, LT. Commander Uhuru even gets a chance to do something different here. Even though it's limited, she takes over the transporter station at the starbase and gets our crew on board the Enterprise. The Escape sequence can not be matched, in my opinion; think of it as a space opera for you when you are backing up your car out of a driveway. But it's done so much better. They should have flushed Capt. Kruge's character is out a bit better; maybe adding the part where he steals the bird of prey from the Romulans (non-cannon reference). JJ Abraham Trek doesn't come close, let alone beat out this movie, which you can still watch and be thrilled to watch it. How is ST VI towards the bottom of the list? It's one of the best send-offs I've ever seen.
I have into darkness at 13th place. For sure my list is different from both lists lol. With picard season 3 considered by some the final TNG finale/movie. Would be interesting to see how it would rate on the list
Personally, I would rank all the films as follows…
15. Into Darkness
14. Nemesis
13. The Final Frontier
12. The Motion Picture (Theatrical Cut)
11. Insurrection
10. Generations
9. The Search for Spock
8. First Contact
7. (2009)
6. Beyond
5. Galaxy Quest
4. The Voyage Home
3. The Motion Picture (Director’s Edition)
2. The Undiscovered Country
1. The Wrath of Khan
"I stopped listening to you when you said you don't like Star Trek."😂😂
I mean, who chose him to direct the movies? Could you imagine saying that at a job interview for any job?
"We want you to film Star Trek movies for us."
"I hate Star Trek. It's lame. Don't really know much about it. But sure!"
"Excellent! You're the perfect person for the job!"
???? It's hard to get more moronic than that
There was a time when I could rank these movies. But every Star Trek movie ever made I can easily watch and enjoy it. Even with the flaws, I still enjoy each one equally.
Well done gents! Loved the video, even though I disagree with some of your rankings!

Great video! I'm out of town on business & can't wait to get back home today.
👍Galaxy Quest always has an honoured place in Star Trek. It has earned it and easily ranked number 6 - 8. I enjoyed your latest video and it inspired me to watch again your earlier Galaxy Quest video and then the movie.
Galaxy Quest reminds me of me of my first Star Trek con when Ed Bishop of UFO had to go into make-up to look like Commander Stryker.
Funny how people will say JJ abrams isnt “real trek” or “real star wars” then they will say spaceballs or galaxy quest counts as a franchise its making fun of? Non sense. Trek is trek, the orville isnt trek. Fan made youtube videos aren’t trek. Paramount owns it, those people are theives
MY Top 3 would easily be ST: Wrath of Khan, ST: Generations, and finally ST: First Contact!
1. Wrath
2. Undiscovered
3. Search for spock
4. First contact
5. Voyage home
6. 2009
7. Final frontier
8. Tmp
9. Nemesis
10. Into darkness
11. Insurrection
12. Generations (i saw you there, I saw you then... the saddest words "What might have been...")
13. Beyond. While technically a betrer film than into darkness it just ditched all believability too much for me.
Beyond is also easily my least favorite Star Trek movie and the only one I think is bad. I have watched it a couple times, thinking maybe I didn't give it enough of a chance the first time; and I probably will never watch it again. The ridiculous way the Enterprise is destroyed (everyone should be dead) and the stupid solution of playing music. It's beyond what is believable
Wrath of Khan and First Contact didn't need a lot of dazzling FX to be the best
The Wrath of Khan is quality, But Star Trek 4 & 6 are more enjoyable & rewatchable IMO
Star Trek VI has always been my favorite and still is!!!
I am a S.T. fan to my core! At 66 years old now, I loved the television show and was heartbroken when it ended. Thank God for Lucy keeping it alive. I loved all the movies! I will always be a S.T. fan no matter what! I wish the powers that be would stop messing around and make another one! Pleeessseee!
I agree with Star Trek 2 - the best of the Star Trek films.
Star Trek 6 is my all time Favorite.. not to mention it will always be extra special as it was my first theater Star Trek experience being so young..
I love the Humour in Star Trek 5 Obviously I am pretty much alone in my thoughts and I love the fact the massive blooper of the same level going past our heroes as they shoot up the turbo lift on Spock's boots is still in the film!
You have Star Trek 6 below ST5, Generations, and 2009. Wow.
Yeah, really makes you question their judgment.
@@AZRockslide42more like making you dismiss it immediately
Plus they mixed up Savik with Lt Valeris.
Coming after First Contact Insurtection was boind to disappoint but it's still a fun ride
I watched this video on my phone while dropping a loaf.
Me too!
I'd put any/all of the original crew movies ahread of Generations, Insurrection, Nemesis and Into Darkness. ST5 has its flaws but it's still a fun watch - and has the classic "what does God need..." line 🙂
Galaxy Quest Number 1, I love that movie
Near Perfect list - Its almost exactly how I would have ranked the films too. i agree to its definitiveness 😁
Glad to see Generations getting some love I always thought it was good and also I think 2009 is really good and I have it 3rd after Khan and First Contact🖖🏿
I largely agree with this ranking. Great job!
Nicolas Myers was considered to work on Nemesis with the TNG crew. They should have gotten him, and let him rewrite the movie. Hindsight!
as an extra on IV, I knew that my foreground cross in front of Nimoy would make this movie a hit.....
There is no franchise too great for jar jar Abrams to not Waltz in and Destroy with his complete irreverence and idiocy.
I dunno. Shatner came pretty damn close.
I don’t blame JJ, its not his fault the fans all became idiots when the internet came out
JJ kelvin timeline is not bad. I mean lens flares. Hello.
I remember Jar Jar being heralded as “The Next Spielberg”.
Yeah ok 👌

Enjoying the video. Great work guys.
I've mixed agreements between the viewer and your own ranking.
However I just want throw in my 10c. I think the best film is Star Trek VI, it's fantastic in nearly every way, plus on a shoestring budget at the time, still holds up today in terms of visuals.
The Final Frontier is definitely the weakest of the original films, but it has a few wonderful scenes. The opening and closing with Kirk, Spock, and McCoy camping are some of the best scenes in all the films. The scene where McCoy breaks free of Syboks control is also good. There are a few others too.
Kirk: "Initiate emergency landing plan .......B".
Chekov: "What's emergency landing plan B"?
Scotty: "I don't have a clue".
Kirk: "B. As in barricade".
Scotty: "He can't be serious".
31:15 The movie would go on to make $97 million dollars. But your screen shows “130 million”
Adjusted for inflation…
First Contact is my favorite by a mile! I also would rank Into Darkness and Beyond much higher. Fun video!
Savik wasn't in The Undiscovered Country,that was Lt Valeris played by Kim Cattrall.
My ranking is different mostly because of my positive feelings about The Motion Picture, but I also share Roddenberry's issues with The Undiscovered Country. Galaxy Quest doesn't really do it for me, either, but I suppose I'd have to rank it over most of the TNG movies.

Wow. I'm shocked you put Star Trek V at #6 on your list. I think I agree with the overall ranking that it's in the bottom 3.
No way. It's got some of the best character building between the main characters of any of the movies.
Definitely should be near the bottom. Kirk would never tell Spock to kill his brother.
@@spock7of961 his brother was a madman who is going to get everyone killed by freeing an evil god.
Anything good in Star Trek V is massively outweighed by the cringey and bad. Uhura's fan dance anyone? Yeesh. How about Scotty bumping his head against a beam? ho ho ho.
@@gunkulator1 Yeah those are garbage scenes and Kirk telling Spock to shoot Sybock is stupid, however the campfire scenes and the dynamic between the big three outway the movies flaws in my opinoin and if the effects were redone I think it would hold up a lot better
My Star Trek Ranking:
1. Wrath of Khan - Classic and extremely rewatchable
2. Undiscovered Country - Real character stuff
3. First Contact - Perfect follow up to TNG
4. Voyage Home - Fun, and super rewatchable
5. Search for Spock - had some cool scenes and lore
6. Nemesis - great character moments and rewatchable
7. The Motion Picture - Iconic, but just a bit padded out
8. Generations - Extended tv episode feel
9. Star Trek (2009) - Good for a few watches then becomes like a cosplay show
10. The Final Frontier - Had some great character moments but felt like a B-Movie version of Trek
11. Insurrection - Another TV Episode feeling entry, but without any redeeming quality
12. Into Darkness - Pirating ideas from other films and making a frankenstein's monster of a movie is not cool.
13. Beyond - Garbled action noise ala Fast and Furious
At age 43, lifelong fan, went to conventions, and raising my kids on chronological release order of Star Trek, my ranking:
1. ST:TMP
2. ST:III
3. ST:V (extra nostalgia points - saw it in one of the last U.S. Cinerama theaters)
4. ST:II
5. ST:IV
6. Galaxy Quest
27. Generations (but cannot watch Kirk’s death)
28. First Contact (but this is a break from Picard’s actual character
29. Insurrection (mostly harmless)
30. ST:VI. Forces the characters to not be their original versions.
31. Nemesis. Several Trek characters are recognizable but all are in a non-Trek movie.
Not included on the list: those Bad Robot movies called “Star Trek” for some reason. I think he meant to call them “Star Trek: a JJ Star Wars Reboot Sizzle Reel”
Oh and despite also being raised on all Star Wars and Marvel stuff, my kids love ST:TMP best of the movies.
🖖😎👍Very cool and very nicely well done and very nicely executed in every detail way shape and form provided on the format and subject matter on the ratings of all of these Major and wonderful Star Trek films for sure, A job very greatly well done by you guys indeed!,👌.
Star Trek Wrath of Kahn will Always be the BEST movie of the franchise
Seeing Wraith of Khan in a modern theatre was an experience i will never forget. The nebula battle was breath taking on the big screen. Sadly at my movie cinema Star Trek II was the only classic Star Trek movie.
At one time I would have put First Contact at #3 too, but I don't think it's aged well. I like it less each time I see it.
I honestly wasn't even interested in Star Trek as a whole, although I did appreciate and enjoy Sci-Fi, until I saw Wrath of Khan while in the Air Force in the mid '80's... Since then, I've been a huge fan!! This listing is great.
This would be a difficult task. First, the Kelvin Universe is a completely Other take. The original cast has so much cache that I'd put all of theres on one scale and the Kelvin on another. Otherwise, for me, even though I enjoyed them, they'd be at the end of the list. Kind of the same with TOS and TNG. All TOS at the top (even 5), and TNG next. While Wrath of Kahn was better, The Motion Picture was great, as long as you take into account that ST movies were new and had a massive learning curve (how do you make something a decade after the show that ramps up to movie level? The intros of the characters was fantastic, and even the coast around Enterprise was amazing... speaking from seeing it in the theaters at the time).
Another great ST video! But now I want to see a Popcast deep dive on "Crocodile Dundee" :D
We’re like roaches and they brought out all the Trekkies with that video lol
Star Trek Beyond was awful. I'm shocked that it scored so high. Any of the J.J. Abrams movies are so bad they should be at the bottom. Chris Pine's version of Kirk is characature at it's worst.
My list best to worse ranking:
The Wrath of Khan
The Undiscovered Country
First Contact
The Voyage Home
Galaxy Quest
Generations
The Search for Spock
Beyond
Insurrection
The Motion Picture
The Final Frontier
Star Trek (2019)
Nemesis

*Whilst I dislike Nemesis, I hate the lazy writing of JJ Abrams, adding crap like trans warp beaming to get past plot holes.
I didn't care much for 3 but loved seeing doctor brown as a klingon
I love these composite ranking videos.
For me it is TMP. I just love that late 70ies Design and feel of it.
As a child, I was disappointed in TMP. As an adult, The Motion Picture is an incredible movie, and deserves a top 5 ranking at minimum.
13) Final frontier (nice nap)
3) First contact (good fun)
2) Wrath of khan (best villain)
1) Undiscovered country (best overall film)
The score in the JJ movies is so good it makes the movies watchable. 09 isn't even that bad.
My number 1 is Undiscovered Country, with Nemesis being above Into Darkness and Beyond. I never really liked search for Spock, so that's lower on my list below Final Frontier but above motion picture which sits near the bottom below Nemesis

how all of the JJ movies are not bottom three is crazy
Because despite trying to wipe our collective memories of it, Star Trek V still exists.
Thank you!
@@gunkulator1Perhaps, but the score is still light years ahead of anything from the JJ era. And there were some nice bits, before 'the Barrier' stuff... Watching JJ (and Kurtzman) Trek, well, it just isn't Trek, made by people (other than Terry Matalas) who know and seemingly care nothing about it.
This
Give me a break.
1, 2, and 3, matches my all time ST movies as well. Maybe a little more 2 than 1, but it would be very close.

Your math is off slightly, gents: ST:TMP hit theatres not 18 months after Star Wars but more than 30 months (May ‘77 to Dec ‘79)
Nimoy said without Star Wars there would never have been Star Trek movies. So we can enjoy them both, for different reasons.
I like The Motion Picture, Wrath of Khan, and Undiscovered Country in no fixed order. Saying The Motion Picture is "slow" is like saying Alien is slow or Unforgiven.
it's slow and boring.

On my List, Galaxy would not just be an honorble mention, it would rank 2 or 3^^
So many people I know have dunked on Voyage Home for decades. When First Contact was named at third, I did a bit of a fist pump because that meant Voyage Home was considered the second best ST movie ever across the board.
first contact might be one of the greatest scifi movies of all time. special effects still hold up today
My ranking:
1- Star Trek The Motion Picture (because before being a Star Trek fan I'm a long time Science Fiction fan, and I can recognize good Science Fiction when I see it).

I don't dispute the logic of this list. In both lists - 6 in the red list. I'm also the same that with Into Darkness. It was a rehash of ST2.
Regarding TNG movies…
I feel like a plot similar to Yesterday’s Enterprise or All Good Things would have been better over what they chose for Generations. An age old question who is better, Kirk or Picard, why not do that? I don’t mean in a adversarial manner but rather an anti nostalgia and differing in command style sort of way. Kirk is much more the Chaotic Good while Picard is Lawful Good. Have the Enterprise B (Kirk and whoever else is onboard at the time) crew travel to the Enterprise D era through a time anomaly. Picard greets the Enterprise B crew and is revelatory to Kirk, but then a crisis occurs and the two Enterprises have to deal with it. The crisis leads to strife between the two iconic captains, which is where the real conflict of the film happens. Perhaps Kirk violates the Prime Directive, Kirk disregard Picard’s protest, which leads to a skirmish between the Enterprise B and Enterprise D. The two captains then have to make amends when a larger threat arises (perhaps a Romulan ambush). The Enterprise D is heavily damaged like in Generations and the Enterprise B sacrifices itself to save the crew of the Enterprise D. The plot is straight forward, but the point of the film is to show the difference between the two captains and to warn against meeting your idols.
The biggest issue with First Contact is Patrick Stewart is playing Die Hard Picard; he needed to be more regal. Also, Data isn’t a Terminator, but that’s nitpicking.
I don’t have the energy to complain about Insurrection and Nemesis…
Personally, I would rank all the films as follows…
15. Into Darkness
14. Nemesis
13. The Final Frontier
12. The Motion Picture (Theatrical Cut)
11. Insurrection
10. Generations
9. The Search for Spock
8. First Contact
7. (2009)
6. Beyond
5. Galaxy Quest
4. The Voyage Home
3. The Motion Picture (Director’s Edition)
2. The Undiscovered Country
1. The Wrath of Khan
To be fair, Picard has disregarded the Prime Directive plenty of times as well. They both have violated the "Temporal Prime Directive" within their own movies. Picard once, arguably twice: using the Nexus to change events then (debatable) when he went back in time to stop the Borg and assist in First Contact (which is where the most egregious offense is, exposing the people of Earth to technology far beyond theirs before they even had taken their first warp flight).
25:11 *Yea, it was awesome!*
I agree with most of this, but I'd put Galaxy Quest dead center, and move Star Trek 6 higher. I agree with the worst ones. Depending on my mood, sometimes I rank Into Darkness at the bottom, sometimes Nemesis, and 5 is always the one after that.
