1. Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982) - 8.5/10
The best Trek film. It's exciting, well paced, and has one hell of a bad guy. Spock's death (and implied future) is such a powerful ending. Horner's score is magnificent.
2. Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) - 8/10
Gets A TON of hate, but I honestly thought it was great fun. Plot holes, yes, but great fun, and even a few touching scenes. Also a great villain with Benedict - though not as good as Montalban of course!
3. Star Trek (2009) - 7.5/10
A good origin story. Once again, some plot holes and I really don't care for Nero at all, but some great character moments.
4. Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991) - 7.5/10
A good way to end the TOS era of Star Trek. Plummer is a great bad guy, and the story is satisfyingly twisty/turny. Some unnecessary silliness, but still a good conclusion.
5. Star Trek: The Motion Picture - Director's Edition (1979) - 7.5/10
A massively underrated film. It is too long, yes, but a very interesting and cerebral plot. Also, I just love the mood and tone of the film. Goldsmith's score is one of the best I've ever heard.
6. Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986) - 7/10
Actually a really funny and witty script. I just wish the plot was a little more fleshed out. It surely is wacky, but its such a fun time.
7. Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1982) - 6/10
DeForrest Kelley steals the show. Spock's absence is sorely missed, though, and I dislike Robin Curtis as Saavik. Some witty moments in the script, but a slightly disappointing follow up to Khan.
8. Star Trek: First Contact (1996) - 6/10
The best of the Next Generation films, but still feels like a TV show, and pales in comparison (story-wise) to The Best of Both Worlds two parter.
9. Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989) - 5/10
The problems with this film are obvious. However, the scene between Sybok and McCoy is truly stand-out, and is the film's only really good scene.
10. Star Trek: Nemesis (2002) - 5/10
Tom Hardy tries, but the script fails. It seems like the Next Generation cast has just run out of gas - and I never really thought any of their movies were that good in the first place.
11. Star Trek: Insurrection (1998) - 5/10
I really don't know what to say about this film. It exists, I suppose. There is absolutely NOTHING in the film that is memorable in anyway.
12. Star Trek: Generations (1994) - 4/10
In my mind, the only awful Trek film. The Next Generation cast (at least shown here) are not half as interesting as the TOS cast. Worse yet, the film pisses on Captain Kirk by giving him one of the worst death scenes in the history of film. Truly terrible.
How the f*ck do Nemesis and Insurrection rate above Generations?!
:))
Excellent ranking decisions. though I'd rate Generations a 0 just for killing off James T. Kirk.
Wow. He needs to spend his big paycheck on something other than hi speed internet, that's for sure.
And he gets to write movies in part because of being in the right place at the right time, too. No one in the industry is a gift from God. He's a good writer, that's all.
But, the opening scene on the Enterprise B is better than all of Insurrection.
Speaking of Trek. I randomly found this bizarre Cartoon mashup of Star Trek TAS and Rambo TAS...Why It exists..? Who knows. =))

I like the rebooted series as it's not really the same so I can accept it as what it is, but that's why I can't get into fan films of the 60's era Trek. It's just a group of people trying too hard to be those classic characters. I respect the efforts and I am impressed with the production value's but for me. TOS is Shatner, Nimoy, Kelley, ect.
Cumberbatch is a superb villain. He's not really Khan level yet, Montalban will never be topped as that character, but as a sort of villain sort of ally, he's awesome. Peter Weller is a great villain as well, if for no other reason than his voice. The mystery of the whole film is just great, as Admiral Marcus sends Kirk on a mission he's supposed to fail.
A couple of things got on my nerves. The role reversal of Kirk dying and Spock shouting "Khaaaaan!" are a little annoying, because Kirk sacrificing himself just felt forced and Zachary Quinto just doesn't have the voice that William Shatner did. Plus, Spock Prime's appearance just seemed stupid, not to mention the fact that nobody on the bridge seemed surprised. I'd think McCoy would have said something.
Speaking of McCoy, he's still my favorite of the reboot characters. His whole purpose in this film was just to spout great euphemisms. Plus, I loved his pregnant Gorn line. I hope he gets a lot more screen time in the next film, because he deserves it.
All in all, it has happened again. Once again, my favorite Trek film has been usurped. Into Darkness now rests at the top spot where Trek '09 used to be. Hopefully, this trend continues, and Trek 3 will jump up to the top and knock Into Darkness down, because the reboot series is doing everything right so far.
The JJ Abrams reboot is a great film but it's so derivative of the original show/films that I can't class it better that any of the original films (well ok not counting The Motion Picture).
