This really doesn’t require any kind of a thesis at this
point right? I mean, at time of
writing the Star Trek film franchise boasts a robust 13 movies and counting,
spanning several decades, crews, directors, and quality. In a weird way Star Trek has become a
constant of the pop cultural landscape, always existing in one form or another
throughout every decade.
Though there have been dips and peaks in the franchise’s popularity it’s always had some standard barer in every decade from the original series in the ‘60s to the animated show in the ‘70s, the first six film series in the ‘80s, the triple threat of ‘90s TV shows with Next Generation, Deep Space 9, and Voyager, the 2000s Next Gen films and Enterprise, and then the revival series in the 2010s.
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.)
