In general, the even numbered Trek movies (TWOK, TVH, TUC, FC) are better than the odd numbered ones. Nemesis is the exception to that rule as it’s just awful. However, Insurrection might be worse. The Search for Spock isn’t bad, but I can’t even watch TMP.

I loved the first ST movie. You need to understand, those of us who had grown up with TOS had had nothing except a cartoon for years.
They wanted to be closer to 2001: A Space Odyssey than to Star Wars. And as an expansion of the cerebral aspects of Roddenberry's intent for the original series, they hit that mark as well.

The original set of films pretty much mirror Star Trek TOS over it's three seasons. You have your thinking man's film, your great action film, a comedy, some decent movies, and a Spock's Brain what-were-they-thinking flick.

Do yourself a favor and watch DS9.


For me, the first season or so was a hard to get through. I think I have watched nearly all the Star Trek there is, and it took me a couple tries to get through the first season of DS9. Its definitely worth it. Death to the opposition.

ST4 - Voyage Home is my favorite of the Star Trek films, probably with First Contact and Wrath of Khan tying for close second. VH and FC of them had excellent musical scores. Really the only two I didn't like were ST5 (which was mystifyingly bad - but did offer up a couple of memorable lines) and Nemesis which felt like a filler episode, thrown out there when the creative people have all gone on vacation, more than a proper movie

You should consider having a go at DS9. Just do a search on the top twenty fan-rated episodes and begin watching them in order from the earliest. Maybe start with Season 1, episodes 1&2 beforehand to kick that off. Perhaps consider doing the same with Voyager. There's some decent sci-fi in there, even excluding the fact that it's Star Trek universe.

grew up watching TNG, so I like First Contact. I know the rest of the TNG movies aren't great, but I have a blindspot for them.



+1 I never got the hate for some of them, but different strokes for different folks.

In all seriousness...

Wrath of Khan is the best overall
First Contact is the best TNG movie
The reboots are fun popcorn movies, but not real Star Trek
Generations and Nemesis are probably the worst

Wrath of Khan and First Contact I liked best, the rest are various shades of "meh"

I was surprised how much I liked the JJ Abrams version but only the first 2009 one

Ive wanted to get into star trek but dont know where to even begin.

I have seen the 3 recent movies. So I would prob prefer the best of the most recent stuff and not like the old series from the 60s. But looking at paramount there is just so much shite.

I think a LOT of people would argue with you.

It seems a lot of people avoided DS9 because it didn't have the "look" or "feel" of TNG or TOS.


I tell folks to watch DS9 with the expectation of a different kind of story and plot than other Trek, but just happens to be in the same universe.

It saves the time of extolling its virtues. It’s a great show on its own.

Start with the original motion picture and go for as long as you like it. The 5th movie sucks but the 6th is really good. With the TGN crew it picks up a lot after season 1, the first Movie is not good and you can skip Picard seasons 1 and 2. Season 3 was good.
