good to have you back mr. wolf I think
there aren’t enough Star Trek films for
a top 10 list Oh to one third take his
head that’s never stopped us before
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
best films in the Star Trek franchise my
god
what have I done what you had to do what
you always do turn death into a fighting
chance to live for this list any film
that starts with the words Star Trek is
eligible from those featuring the
original cast to those with the
next-generation cast and even the
current reboots now engage punch number
10 Star Trek nemesis I think I think
it’s worth taking a look
one of the more overlooked Trek films
nemesis came at a time when the world
was engulfed in Lord of the Rings and
Harry Potter mania 15 years I’ve been
waiting to say the darkest of the
sometimes vanilla next-gen entries it’s
a story with clones coup d’etat and
campaigns for planetary destruction
right now you’re thinking this little
sounds too good to be true
but you’re also thinking that the chance
for peace is too promising to ignore
with Tom Hardy joining the next
generation cast as an evil Rieman leader
it’s the tenth film in the franchise so
it’s bound to rehash familiar plot
points and devices but this one also
brings humanity to its characters yes
even the androids
Oh
number nine Star Trek generations you go
for the launcher no you never make that
by yourself we have to work together you
all working together
trust me good luck captain Quinn Jim
let’s face it this one mostly lands here
on the strength of cool points nostalgia
and inside jokes but that’s enough for
us oh it’s all in good fun baby fun fun
I do not understand
like many Trek films the plot of the
seventh flick only kind of makes sense
but come on captains Kirk and Picard
versus a sneering malcolm mcdowell in a
desert standoff it’s got to be awesome
right while the battle itself may be
about as exciting as the slow motion
fight sequences of the original series
it’s still good to see Kirk back in
action one last time number 8 Star Trek
the motion picture capture god features
level 2 be in for one hell of a
disappointment perhaps not doctor the
first film to bear the Star Trek name
this one came an entire decade after the
original series was cancelled and thus
it’s perhaps the most divisive amongst
fans all due respect sir I hope this is
some kind of Starfleet pep talk I’m
really too busy I’m taking over the
saddle seat well you’re what
subsequently nicknamed the motionless
picture
I sense no emotion the film reintroduced
Gene Roddenberry’s iconoclastic
franchise to a new audience at least
those who are able to stay awake until
the end yes it has been criticized for
its slow pace and lack of action but we
prefer to remember the inaugural Trek
film for its awesome visuals and
breathtaking special effects
the sensor must contain some special
meaning captain you gonna punch me again
over and over to your arm weakens
clearly want to so tell me why did you
allow me to man
number seven star trek into darkness the
12th installment overall and the second
for JJ Abrams and his stellar cast into
darkness borrows nemesis plot elements
and entire sequences from previous Trek
films but it’s anything but a tired
retread why aren’t we moving captain not
expected malfunction perhaps in your
warp core conveniently stranding you on
the edge of Klingon space the official
militarization of space sets the stage
for an imposing villain in the form of
Benedict Cumberbatch to join the series
Hawaii
with enough novel elements to invite new
fans and enough callbacks to keep
lifelong trekkers satisfied this
exhilarating effects-heavy trek through
space is an exciting and funny adventure
I can open one up there but I will need
some help
now number six Star Trek three the
search for Spock of all the souls I have
encountered in my travels
here’s what’s important
Gillman directed by Leonard Nimoy the
search for Spock attempts to match the
best elements of the Trek films that
came before it
combining mesmerizing effects with
emotional intensity mr. Jarrah an energy
leaping from sea deck from inside mr.
Spock’s quarters
I ordered Spock’s quarter seal yes sir I
sealed the room myself with rolled
Klingon captain Krug portrayed by
Christopher Lloyd the only actor this
side of her card on Montalban who can
match William Shatner at over-the-top
performances search for Spock never
stops being awesome free our own thing
torque if it’s prison as you want there
are life signs on the planet perhaps the
very scientists you seek very good while
it falls short of Khan’s success the
third Trek film offers fans an
emotionally rewarding movie experience
with their beloved characters why would
you do this because the needs of the one
outweigh the needs of a mini number five
Star Trek for the voyage home does the
species exist on any other planet
negative humpbacks were indigenous to
earth earth of the past well whether or
not you see this as a propaganda piece
for one of the rallying cries of the 80s
that is the save the whales campaign the
results are pretty great definitely by
what we’re looking for the station
Institute in Sausalito pair of humpback
whales named Georgia Tracy how do you
know this simple logic by comparing Gene
Roddenberry’s idyllic future with 20th
century and sensitivities and Cold War
tensions the voyage home embodies the
hope that has always made Star Trek
unique humans make illogical decisions
they do indeed after two decades
together the cast gels allowing for the
human interaction and humor we’ve come
to expect dealing with medievalism here
and it’s pretty cool how the slingshot
around the Sun time travel premise works
number 4 Star Trek first contact we are
the Borg law your shields and surrender
your ships we will add your biological
and technological distinctiveness to our
own speaking of nonsensical but
convenient time travel the eighth film
sees the enterprise go suddenly from
blowing up a Borg cube to three
centuries into the past
in what is widely considered the
greatest Star Trek film to feature the
next-generation cast Picard and company
battled the most diabolical adversary of
the new series in an epic moby-dick
inspired story assimilate this
with Jonathan Frakes as director the
Starfleet crew attempts to thwart the
Borges quest to stop first contact which
involves talking some sense into this
guy I’ll be sure to note that in my log
number three Star Trek six the
undiscovered country so wanted to meet
you captain I’m not sure how to take
that
after the campy low-budget Shatner fest
Star Trek five well I forgot to do it
what I did by the book the franchise
found itself on its knees that’s not
true
no no but with proper financing and
director Nicholas Meyer at the helm the
series sixth installment confronts
perhaps the most important geopolitical
allegory of the entire series I give you
my word I don’t understand what seven
we’re here to help in the wake of the
fall of the USSR the Klingon
peace mission turned conspiracy
adventure paralleled real-life events
but set them in a familiar future that
has no trouble remembering its past
we’re outside the shield now it’s your
turn captain if you say so I see not
only did this episode solidify the
original casts legacy it also sent them
off with respect
Declan the captain speaking back you ate
the shipping number to Star Trek
JJ Abrams lens flare filled up date
finally brought Star Trek to mainstream
audiences as TV series and films
featuring new casts waned in popularity
the eleventh film returns to the iconic
characters and look of the original
series they’re creating a black hole at
the center of Oakland
yes how long does the planet have
weenus Wow polishing up every detail and
pushing the pace to breakneck speeds it
was logical to cultivate multiple
options Abraham’s tinkering with the
series DNA made fans anxious but with
new cast members who pay homage to their
older counterparts and a story that
reminds us why we love this series it’s
a stellar reboot for an interstellar
franchise your ongoing mission to
explore strange new worlds to seek out
new life-forms and new civilizations to
boldly go where no one has gone before
while we don’t generally do dishonorable
mentions it’s kind of hard not to when a
film is bad enough to not make it onto a
list of 10 out of a dozen possible
options so here are a few dishonorable
mentions excuse me I’d just like to ask
a question what does God need with a
starship bring this ship closer I said
but does God need with a starship an odd
craving for the blood of a live coal or
beast this environment must be affecting
me again number one
Star Trek – the Wrath of Khan ah the
undisputed chief of this list
Nicholas Meyers Trek masterwork helped
usher in a new era of science fiction
during the summer of 1982 not with
effects or tricks but with stories about
human nature ah Kirk my old friend do
you know the Klingon proverb that tells
us revenge is a dish that is best served
cold overhauled since the previous film
entry this movie goes back to the
formula that made the original series so
compelling using every tool at a
captain’s disposal the Enterprise crew
attempts to outwit the chests bearing
superhuman adversary they’d previously
met in the 1960s series allow me to
introduce you to Ceti alpha v s only
remaining indigenous life-form and what
a worthy adversary he is to know you
can’t get away
from hell’s heart I stab at thee do you
agree with our list which Trek films do
you think are the best each one looking
exactly as they did then like looking
through the eyes of childhood again for
more top 10s published every day be sure
