Generations is too high for me. Should never be above The Undiscovered Country!
Allen Elliott Amen! Generations is not even as good as Insurrection!
Yeah, putting Generations above Undiscovered Country is pretty wack.
Undiscovered country should be top 3 for me.
Undiscovered Country is my favorite with the possible exception of Wrath of Khan and followed closely by The Journey Home
Generations was so disappointing
TMP "not cinematic enough"
thats the one thing it did best and i love it for that reason
WHAT???
ST Generations better than ST The Undiscovered Country???
Right?...?????
This whole list is a mess, The Motion Picture being lower than Into Darkness, what a joke
Any list who doesn't put the JJ movies at the bottom is wrong.
The Undiscovered Country is far too low on this list and deserves second place.
I loved undiscovered country. I actually think it deserves 3rd place though. Wrath of Khan will be 1st for me, the oyage home is number 2, undiscovered country is number 3 and generations is number 4.
To be fair, star trek the motion picture was leaps and bounds above the original in a lot of ways when it comes to how they put the film together and the graphics and such. It was also a lot less cheesy and set a tone far more serious than previously th hought. Then we get wrath of Khan which was phenomenal in all ways and we wouldn't have gotten that without the motion picture. *shrug*
I would choose ST VI over TWOK any day. It think it is wider, deeper, an all-rounder.
He based his ranking on trying to be cool and follow the mainstream opinion and obviously haven't really invested in the movies
The only TOS odd numbered film that's arguably bad is the Final Frontier and even that movie has it's good moments
@@heathercampbell6059 The Motion Picture beats all the TNG films and is underrated
Star trek the wrath of Khan - best action plot story.
Star Trek 4 - best adventure mission story.
Star trek 6 - Best political identity story.
Followed by Star Trek First Contact :D
In other words, the even numbers in order :)
rocky-o speak for yourself. I love the Borg.
Truth!
@@rocky-o Borg. Not borgs, damn' it Jim.
My favorite is “The Voyage Home”. A commandeered Klingon vessel, the crew having to rely on its wits and resourcefulness, time travel, no enemy to battle but a set of problems to solve... and the original cast. What’s not to love?:)
HMS Bounty :D
Jason Bean all true, but the humor in the film is all well placed and that’s why I like it
The punk song “I Hate You” (from the bus scene) is so perfectly written, I was blown away to find out not only was it written just for the movie, but the writer never wrote a punk song before.
I’m not a Trekkie myself, so I always recommend IV for fellow non-Trek fans.
Jason Bean it’s a fan favorite for sure
Time travel back to earth plus WHALES and plenty of funny one liners. What’s not to love?
I’m from Iowa I only work in outer space
To this day I still use the line 'colorful metaphors' when talking about cuss words.
Haven’t watched yet, but if Galaxy Quest isn’t on this list as an honourable mention, we riot.
Even Patrick Stewart considers that to be a great Star Trek movie.
You get the camera, I'll get the popcorn.
OhWiseOne if only😀
It's not there, but by Grabthar's hammer, it shall be avenged.
Where are my pitch forks?
"The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few". Still gives me goosebumps.
Me too.
Or the one.
The scene where Kirk comes to Spock with the mission and Spock gives command of Enterprise to Kirk is probably the one that best defines their relationship.
Undiscovered Country I can watch over and over, the end sequence where Bones and Spock operate on the Torpedo and Kirk delivers his best clenched fist "FIRE" is just the peak of everything that is star trek.
Exactly! That's exactly, what I think. It is the right mixture. Can watch that all day.
“I’d pay real money for him to shut up”
Plus Christopher Plummer hamming it up so gleefully.
The greatest film of 1991
Gotta' wonder how many tuned in just to make sure TWOK was right where it needed to be.
I certainly did.
I did.
I couldn’t appreciate Generations like you do. At best I would rank that at 10.
Undiscovered Country is number one for me.
Star Trek III: The Search For Spock is in my opinion a very underrated movie.
It's a brilliant film
It is
One of the few movies that makes me cry.
"Transparent aluminum?"
First contact was better than wrath of Khan in my opinion.
That however may be just because I have a more personal connection to next gen.
definitely the best TNG movie.
Wrath of Khan was definitely the most memorable one
KHAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!
I'm not sure why ST 3 isn't more liked. It has Christopher Lloyd!
I! HAVE HAD! ENOUGH OF! YOUUUU!
I really liked this movie
Christopher Lloyd was the very first Klingon I ever saw, and he scared the shit out of me! Or at least the Bird of Prey did with the way it was introduced.
I completely disagree with his placement and description of Into Darkness...
That twist on the spok/kirk warp chamber bit was just amazing.
Personally, any list that doesn't put into darkness at the bottom is wrong
ikr. Compared to "Into Darkness," Star Trek V looks like a masterpiece.
Harve Bennet did not direct Wrath of Khan.
Finally! Someone who gets how good the TNG films are. Yes, the Kirk movies are great, but it's long overdue we recognize how great The Next Generation movies are too. First Contact is amazing. It visually explains the origins of the Star Trek universe, and the event that leads to the Federation in 100 years. Generations plays like a 2 hour episode but it has some interesting ideas. I agree, Nemesis isn't that bad. It came out when I was 12 and I loved it at the time and still enjoy it to this day.
First Contact WAS amazing!!! Love that film!
Glad to see & hear Star Trek: Enterprise being acknowledged as hitting its stride when it was prematurely cancelled.
Personally, I find Insurrection worse than The Final Frontier; it just had a TV Movie feel. Even Sir Patrick Stewart & Brent Spiner expressed dismay over the fact that they were reworked back into their season 1 personas.
Star Trek: Nemesis does have a familiar look because it took elements from Star Trek II & Star Trek VI.
For me, the best Star Trek film was Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. It was a fitting finale to classic Star Trek's cast & a sci reflection on the end of the Cold War in the real early 1990s.
First contact is probably my most favourite star trek movie because it carried more than just action and drama but fear as well as the Borg were a really scary villian, basically space robot zombies. It's the only star trek movie I've rewatched several times.
Wow. This is surprisingly close to my personal ranking. Which I totally didn't expect. You just need to swap number 1 with number 3 (No, WOK does NOT have to be at the top) and I'd also swap the last two spots but then, yeah, then you get my list.
The Voyage Home and the Wrath of Khan and First Contact are my favs.
no arguments
I love that this list didnt instantly put generations and nemesis at the bottom like so many other have, generations being above undiscovered country is flawed in my mind but I simply would have switched there positions, otherwise, this is the correct order
Very good video. Thanks, Live long & prosper...
I love the Voyage Home.
My List
1.) First Contact
2.) Wrath of Khan
3.) Generations
4.) Star Trek VI
5.) Star Trek IV
6.) Star Trek 2009
7.) Star Trek Beyond
8.) Star Trek III
9.) Star Trek Into Darkness
10.) Star Trek Nemesis
11.) Star Trek Insurrection
12.) Star Trek TMP
13.) Star Trek V
Insurrection is hard to rank because the story isn't bad, but it was such a huge step down form First Contact in production quality and storytelling and remains an uninteresting film. I love Generations more than most seem to, it's the only TNG film that actually resembles the show.
No way First contact (with those convenient stupid Borgs) is better Star Trek II.
@@rc1982 It says HIS list.
@@evangelicae_rationis his list is still wrong. :)
@@rc1982 It is his opinion, he's talking from what he likes and thinks, not about what you think it's true.
@@evangelicae_rationis, so... why do you think that HE can talk about HIS opinion, but I COULDN"T talk about my opinion? Are you the one who who who is responsible to license people who is allowed to have opinion? Is there a fee to apply for a permit? How long it takes to get a reply on my application?
Just a pointer here. Harve Bennett was the producer of the original Star Trek films. Nicholas Meyer directed WoK and Undiscovered Country.
I actually liked Insurrection; it's one of my favorite Trek films. However, my favorite film to date is the Voyage Home. There are also a few moments in Beyond that are very well-done. As a whole film, I'd probably rank it about the same, but those few moments would rank much higher if they were stand alone.
I would switch Generations and Undiscovered Country but otherwise i agree
The only one I'd change and put in the top 4 is the undiscovered country, it is more personal opinion but one of my favourites
Well done, thanks for the vid.
So, Undiscovered Country is diminished in quality by “most of the movies that came after it” being better.
And then you go on to put four out of the seven movies that came after it BELOW ST6.
Either you have a wildly different definition of “most”, or your logic really doesn’t track.
I’m glad you bumped up IV, because I think a lot of people wrote that one off, because it’s the “fun one”
However, this list needs some major addressing. Putting Generations and Beyond above Undiscovered Country is Oof size infinity.
Putting Beyond and Generations above VI is absurd. And though I love IV, it's also not better than VI.
Good review and observations! Like most comments, I would have shuffled this list somewhat. But agreed that any list must have II on top or is completely invalidated
Some surprises in those rankings for sure but thoroughly enjoyed the reasoning. More Kris, More Trek please!
Nickolas Meyer directed The Wrath of Khan. Harve Bennet was producer.
Meyer had not done much directing when he got the job, yet he directed the best 3 movies.
Star Trek Beyond had the best and most realistic "Travelling at Warp" effect ever.
You forgot Galaxy quest… ;)
I loved undiscovered country. I actually think it deserves 3rd place though. Wrath of Khan will be 1st for me, the Voyage Home is number 2, undiscovered country is number 3 and generations is number 4.
Maybe I just like the old star trek better… which is weird because I grew up with generations. But I have always enjoyed the movies. I feel like watching wrath of Khan and then In search of Spock and then voyage home is a well spent afternoon. Lol With the exception of the recasting of kirstie alley, that a whole series feels like one story to me and is still one of my favorites to watch to this day. I personally like generations better than 1st contact, but I can see your point in that 1st contact was a bit more tidy and had a lot of fun action base. I've never seen nemesis and I don't really want to… so yeah.
#1, 2 & 3 were right on, but you lost it after that. #4 should be Undiscovered Country, #5 Search for Spock and #6 Beyond. After that, it doesn't matter.
I'm not a Trekkie, but however they're ranked, I would still gladly watch any of them at any time.
Fairly close to how I'd have ranked them. Nicely done.
I have to admit, I was scared towards the end that they were actually going to put First Contact above Khan. Thankfully they made the logical choice. ;)
13) Nemesis
12) Generations
11) Insurrection
10) The Final Frontier
9) Star Trek
8) Beyond
7) Into Darkness
6) The Motion Picture
5) The Voyage Home
4) The Undiscovered Country
3) First Contact
2) The Search for Spock
1) The Wrath of Khan
Yeah I get that TSFS seems too high, ST '09 too low, Into Darkness not low enough, etc... but it's my list!
😆
VI is my favourite for sure but IV is hilarious as well as being the only one I saw in theatres. I love the Abrams trilogy and I’m saddened that there will be no more. I could and have watched all 13 films over and over as well as the shows... I grew up with ST and it was time well spent with my grandfather. I only wish he lived long enough to see at least the first Abrams film
Watch whenever on tv in order of preference:
-First Contact
-Undiscovered Country
- Voyage Home
- Khaaan!
Still like and will usually watch if on TV in order of preference:
-Generations
- Star Trek (2009)
Consider to be ok and might watch on TV if I was bored:
-Search for Spock
-Into Darkness
Kinda bad and would have to be fairly desperate to watch:
- Final Frontier
- Nemesis
Would never find an excuse to watch:
- The Motion Picture
- Insurrection
From the first six films, the even numbers are great!
I expected there to be more comments about the fact that Wrath of Khan was directed by Nicholas Meyer, not Harve Bennett.
I only spotted your comment after saying the same. Also, Meyer directed Undiscovered Country which rank as my 2 fave ST movies followed by First Contact and then surprisingly ST Beyond.
Star Trek 6,is one of My many Favorite Films
Hey can you guys do an indepth dive into the movies... The old ones.. I can't find any good explanation of "First Contact"
the Final Frontier is the bottom of the main timeline though,.... mind you, "what does God need with a Starship"" is one of the most quotable lines ever
The Smith’s named a song using a quote from this film “How soon is now?” As well
Nicky HF sauce?
@@nickyhf1861 That's The Search For Spock. The alien in the bar says it. I always chuckled when he said it, but didn't realise the song was actaully named after that quote! Looking at the date the song was recorded, it was only 1 month after the film's release, so might be true!
@@Boxyno1 check my other reply, I'm full of shit
I tend to rank them in tiers, bad movies, watchable movies, and Great movies and as long as they're within the right tier, the order is down to personal preference, but this is my order. Personally, there is two movies that I love that most people rank lower than I do, but I can see where people have issues.
Bad Movies:
13) Star Trek Nemesis
12) Star Trek V: The Final Frontier
11) Star Trek Into Darkness
10) Star Trek: Insurrection
Nemesis is at the bottom of the list because it was the final blow for the golden age of Trek movies, but it has it's good parts (Hardy is good but not great, and the battle is the best small fleet battle in the entire franchise). STV is obvious, it's just bad. Into Darkness is one of those movies that is subjectively bad for dozens of reasons but is objectively an OK movie, regardless, I can't watch it without hating on it. I LIKE INSURRECTION, I think it's watchable and it meshes well with the franchise, UNFORTUNATELY, it plays better as a two part episode than it does as a movie.
Watchable Movies:
9) Star Trek 2009
8) Star Trek: The Motion Picture
7) Star Trek III: The Search for Spock
6) Star Trek: Generations
5) Star Trek Beyond
Put these in any order you like, they are watchable and enjoyable. ST2009, is at the bottom of my this list because repeat viewings if begins to fall apart with repeated cliches in much the same way that Nemesis does, the difference is it's a more enjoyable movie. TMP may be boring but it's not bad. I tend to put Insurrection here, but I know that is the one thing people will truly take offense to for whatever reason.
Great Movies:
4) Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home
3) Star Trek: First Contact
2) Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country
1) Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
Personally, I'd rather watch VI than II, but it's arguable as to which is a better movie. Also, go back and watch First Contact, The Undiscovered Country, and Generations, those three have held up to the ravages of visual expectations better than the rest of the franchise.
Wrath of Khan was directed by Nicholas Meyer.
I know that 09 isn't quite true-Trek, but goddang I love that film. Marathoning all of the movies now in the wake of Picard.
Stardust is a science fiction series on TBD.
I was mildly surprised/pleased to see some love for Generations. I am not sure why it's gotten so much hate over the years. But I will say Nemesis is worse than Insurrection (which was more of a long TV episode than a movie). Nemesis was just clumsy and tired. I can't rank ST: Into Darkness because it's the only one I never bothered to watch and the description here reinforces that.
Good list. Generations was a little too high for me, but not bad at all.
10. Insurrection
9. Nemesis
8. Final Frontier
7. Motion Picture
6. Undiscovered Country
5. Generations
4. First Contact
3. Voyage Home
2. Wrath Of Khan
1. Search For Spock
I can't argue with any of your choices, but I would have put First Contact joint first because of Picard in his vest. Oh yes!!
Where is that opening shot of Enterprise D from?
It's a serviceable list. I don't have the love of Khan that most have, but that being said the only thing I would change would be to switch 1 & 2, since to me, First Contact is the better of those two.
Yup, same for me. Wrath of Khan, for me, was top tier B Grade. Too campy, but really enjoyable anyway
Agreed, First Contact can be watched repeatedly while Khan (although admittedly entertaining) follows the well-worn plot of Powerful Villain person ultimately vanquished by sentimental favorite/hero.
I'd have switched the places of the motion picture, and the final frontier. Other than those 2 however, I enjoyed all these movies. I'm especially confused about why people don't like the Kelvin timeline films. I loved them. I also feel that if you can't get Riccardo Mantalban to play Khan, get Benedict Cumberbatch.
Jean Roddenberry was a genius when he created the first Star Trek
Before watching, jots down correct order. Watches and prepares to argue and judge.
*later* Not bad, not bad but no way is Star Trek Beyond better than Star Trek reboot and definitely not better than Undiscovered Country. Dude... you trippin.
"Remember there is no right order except THE WRATH OF KHAN MUST BE NUMBER ONE of course!!!
MY middle of the list would be quite different, but your end line alone of "there is no right order, except wrath of khan must be number 1 of course" grabs a like button smash from me
Welcome aboard Brian!
The V/O seems to suggest that Harve Bennett Directed Wrath of Khan but he was the Producer. It could go either way but it sounds like you don’t know and want to be vague enough to be hedge your bets.
Spot on. Except that I lump 2,3 & 4 together (Seriously. You have to binge the whole trilogy.) I wouldn't change a thing.
I agree and the order of them varies according to my mood!
I was reading an article on why Majel Barret was not keen on staying in the original series. It's because William Shatner.
Good video!
There is some really good stuff in Nemesis, the badass Scimitar, the cool looking new Valdore Romulan Warbirds and the Enterprise E being seriously badass against the more powerful Scimitar
Ian Samuels That’s a good point, the battle had a sense of realism in how the Enterprise put up a fight against the Scimitar, unlike JJ Trek that just has outrageously powerful vessels beating the shit out of the Enterprise. You also get to see the crew working together seamlessly and showing their expertise, which is quite rewarding after a decade of seeing them together.
The plot of Nemesis is terribly contrived, but that battle is the best that Trek currently has to offer.
Almost 100% agree. I think I would swap Undiscovereved Country for Journey Home.
Seldom does a list like this match up perfectly with how I would rank them but this one did. Well done. Any doubt that TWOK would be #1? BTW, still insist that Farscape is a better TV series than Trek.
I would but the undiscovered country HIGH above most others, at place one or two, since its "bad guy" was maybe the best antagonist in all films in my eyes.
I will try my best to defend Into Darkness. That's all. Also it's not my favorite but I like it quite a bit. Its one where the more I watch it.... it got a little better the first rewatch than plateaued at slightly above average.
Star Trek the Motion Picture is only second to, "Star Trek: First Contact". Loved that first film!
The wrath of con is number one I agree
Insurrection is one of my favourites. Not because it’s the best. I recognise it isn’t that great. For me it’s nostalgia. My dad taking me to my first Star Trek move.... watching it on vhs until the tape broke.... major guilty pleasure of mine.
Same for me with Generations. I by no means think it's the best Star Trek movie, but it's still my favorite.
The old classic Startrek was shot in beautiful film camera while the latest is like shot in go pro iphone wtf.
80's baby here, back when movies had depth, substance, structure, musical score, innovation etc. Every age group's list is very different (purist vs the low attention / intellectual), so here's mine. For me, the debate doesn't even start until #4.
13 Insurrection
12 The Final Frontier
11 The Motion Picture
10 Generations
9 Beyond
8 Nemesis
7 Into Darkness
6 The Search for Spock
5 2009 (Kelvin)
4 The Voyage Home
3 First Contact
2 The Undiscovered Country
1 Wrath of Khan
Star Trek Generation is my personal favorite from the movies.
Spot on.
I completely forgot about Star Trek Beyond.
Perfection of humour, history and action. Star Trek first Contact!
I never understood why people "mix" the ST-movies comparing them.
I would only compare the classic/TOS-crew-movies with each other as well as the TNG-movies and the JJ-Trek
My favourite two Star Trek films are iii and vi :) .
You told him about the statue?
After Beyond me too want more of kelvin timeline sadly it would be yearsss or never
My most favourite star trek movies is Star Trek 2009, Star Trek into Darkness and Star Trek Beyond
The things the original Kirk and Picard movies have in common:
The first movies’ uniforms are different from the rest of the movies.
The second movies are the best.
Two consecutive movies are directed by the first officer actor including the third.
If AbramsTrek insists on being on this list, they should be listed first.
Switch Undiscovered Country and Voyage Home and I think it's just about right.
Can't argue with that list
Generations is not only too high on this list, but should never be higher than Undiscovered Country.
My top three are: Wrath of Khan, Undiscovered Country, and First Contact. (2009 honorable mention).
I love them all, from V to Khan 2
Nemesis and the wrath of khan are my favourite
Wrath of Khan is #1, I agree with you there. I was disappointed when First Contact put a personality behind the Borg. Big mistake, in my opinion.
But Wrath isn't just a great ST film, but a great film period.
Agreed Wrath is great, but if you know TNG a personality was injected into the Borg with Hugh, causing a massive disruption of the Borg species. First contact develops this in an intriguing way, imho.
I might actually send an email then, as I always gets annoyed at videos with people who think they know Star Trek, but actually doesn't..
Kirk : "You look like a bunch of cadets !" (ST 4)
