There have been 14 Star Trek films released since 1979. Those films have covered four distinct periods of the franchise while highlighting distinct crews across that time period. We started with William Shatner's James Kirk and the rest of the original series crew for the first six films. Then we jump to Patrick Stewart as Jean-Luc Picard and the rest of the core Next Generation cast across the next four. After that, we return to James Kirk but this time featuring Chris Pine and the rest of the aptly named Kelvin crew. Finally, in what is likely a one-and-done situation, Star Trek: Section 31 featured Michelle Yeoh as Philippa Georgiou, likely closing out her run with that character.
The last film so far was a disaster of a film that fairly sits at the worst-reviewed film in franchise history. Is it in fact the worst Star Trek film of all time? More exactly, how does Section 31 affect the entirety of Star Trek films? We're going to find out but this isn't an "official" list. We're not looking at metrics or other factors. Just our gut feeling on where things should land.
You'll disagree and that's ok, but this how I think things shake out.
14. Star Trek: Section 31
Yes, it is that bad. It's everything you heard of. It has zero redeeming value with the lone exception of being a blueprint on how to not make a Star Trek film.
13. Star Trek The Final Frontier
This is a long and considerably laborious film, complete with a camping scene that lasted 20 minutes too long, a budget that didn't cover half of the lofty goals director William Shatner had for the film, and a plot point that involved finding 'God'.
