So, today’s the day, the release of Star Trek Beyond.  I’ll have already seen it by the time this article goes up but for now consider me psyched, especially because a lot of people I trust are telling me it’s great.  For now, though, I thought we’d celebrate Star Trek one more time before the new film’s release as, after all, this is the 50^th anniversary of the series; that’s worth doing something special.

It’s transcended from simply a franchise into an institution, to the point that the real test of quality for each new Star Trek film as become where it stacks up against the rest of the franchise.  As such, let’s rank all 13 of the Star Trek films (yes, I saw Star Trek Beyond at a midnight screening for this.)
