Okay, what Star Trek movies do I need to watch now? I'll definitely be rewatching the shows, but now I want to dive into the movies as well!!

There’s no point watching any Star Trek movies, you’ve just seen the best one 😁

Dan M

This movie is definitely a love letter to Star Trek and Trekkies. I’m not a Trekkie myself, but I can certainly appreciate the impact that Star Trek had on pop culture….this movie being just a small sample. There were many nods to moments from either the series or the movies. From the characters themselves to certain scenes throughout the film…even the NSEA Protector’s serial number, NTE-3120, where the NTE stands for “Not The Enterprise”. I also love the hairdos given to The Thermians. I’m now starting to wonder if The Beatles were actually Thermians that decided to stay here on earth back in the early 60’s 😉.

As far as what movies to watch, at minimum watch the original movies from the 70’s and 80s… Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, and Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. Star Trek V and Star Trek VI are okay but not a must watch. From The Next Generation movies, watch Star Trek: Generations, Star Trek: First Contact, and Star Trek: Insurrection. Again, Star Trek: Nemesis is okay but not a must watch. And from The Kelvin Timeline (the re-boots) watch all 3…Star Trek (2009), Star Trek Into Darkness, and Star Trek Beyond. I’m not very familiar with the original series, but one episode I know you’ll need to watch before the movies is Space Seed.

I love that not only is there a genre of film that's basically using "The Seven Samurai" as a template, but there is also a genre of film that's "The Seven Samurai, except they're performers mistaken for warriors". A Bug's Life and The Three Amigos also follow this structure.

I can’t wait for the Star Trek movies and shows! The first movie is stretched out a little because they wanted to really show off the cinematic view of Star Trek, which was such a new experience for fans to see it in a theater, rather than just on TV, but the movies are much more action based after that and some of the later ones are my favorites! The follow up shows, such as Picard and Discovery are also really great and worth watching!!! 😊

Star Trek: The Motion Picture isn't worth it. Too much nerding over being able to show the Enterprise in long tracking shots. The story isn't bad, just bogged down by a ton of extra shots of the ship. Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan is going to be at the top of most Trek fans' lists. I'd start with it but not without revisiting the episode "Space Seed" which I believe was in the first season of the original Star Trek TV series. Star Trek III and IV are both good. I'd skip V but VI is also very good. Beyond that I'll leave it to bigger fans of the other TV series to tell you which movies are best and which TV episodes should be watched before reacting to them.

Don't know how much Star Trek you already have under your belt... if you haven't watched the original series, I'd suggest at least a curated selection of those before diving into the movies. And likewise, if you haven't watched Next Generation, I'd watch all of that (every episode!) before getting into its movies. The entire lineup of original-crew movies (from The Motion Picture through Star Trek VI: The Final Frontier) is worth your time, although one of them is pretty universally agreed upon as "The Bad One." Just PLEASE don't begin with the JJ Abrams Trek movies starring Chris Pine. The first one, at least, is a good sci-fi action adventure movie but really has nothing to do with Star Trek.

Im glad im not the only one who gets emotional from this movie

James Hadden

Oh, and the second best Star Trek “movie” is the Galaxy Quest documentary - an absolute must watch

ExquisiteCapybara

STAR TREK MONTH! STAR TREK MONTH! But seriously: The original series (short: TOS) is not strictly necessary to enjoy the movies. But I agree with another comment that a curated list of episodes would greatly enhance the enjoyment. OR, if you've not seen TOS, watch 'em all. Out of three seasons maybe a handful of episodes are bad; the rest are at minimum campy fun. I'm saying that as someone who has only seen the show in the last couple of years, so no nostalgia speaking. The animated series is… interesting. It has some of the original cast and one of my personal favourite one-off characters (simply for the ridiculousness). For the movies: Star Trek I to VI (the TOS movies) all build on each other somewhat, have references throughout, and feel almost like a 4th season of the show in a way. Skipping one would be like skipping The First Avenger when seeing Civil War — the story is understandable, but why? Yes, that includes the “bad one,” which is more mediocre than bad. Star Trek Generations (7th movie) stands on its own, but requires knowledge of at least the main casts from the shows. The Next Generation (TNG) movies are fine. The reboot movies (starting with 2009's Star Trek) exist. (Okay, the first one is fun.)

Ari

The prequel series you were talking about is, "Enterprise." It covers the missions of the first starship given that iconic name.

scott osborne

that bit was edited for younger viewers when said f that not this is going to be a kicker when they returned after 18 years was the show filmed in a studio or on the ship

Ari

Another great Star Trek parody is the series, "The Orville." It's a comedy/drama series by Seth MacFarlane. It's well written with good acting, and it has just the right amount of comedy without overdoing it.

Joe R

The studio did not get this movie, and they didn't understand it was a love letter to Star Trek. They didn't know how to market it and thought it was a movie for kids. That's why they dubbed over Sigourney Weaver's line so they could get a G rating. You probably recognize Justin Long from him doing Apple Mac commercials. Remember: "I'm a PC - I'm a MAC"

Matt Pickard

In the end Guy's the only one who doesn' get shot by Sarris!

iridium platinum

I agree with Dan M but if you want to follow Data's full story arc add Picard series at some point. Also from the original series add "Balance of Terror" S1E14 and Mirror Mirror S2E4 . Also Arena ,as these will come up in later series.

MertzRocks

Before I even dive in, the thumbnail you have up differs from that in the menu of my DVD in one way: On the DVD menu the characters are not firing! It's like the moment just before they do, lol. Also, I just watched this three days ago with my wife and her friend (who had never seen it, and she's a huge sci-fi fan - and we're all 60+!!). What a nice surprise to see you watching it too! 😘💕 I'm buckling up now... 🤘😎🎸

MertzRocks

Teegan, what he says about ST:TOS is spot on: Only a handful are *BAD*, though a few more could be called 'bad', and still others (...bad...), lol. Also MOST of all those are from season 3. Seasons 1 &2 just totally rock! 🤘😎🎸 (like me!)

Johnny Bullis

Actually this is the greatest Star Trek movie that never happened. A total what if that Im sure they wished they thought of for Star Trek. According to William Shatner, he said this movie accurately depicted the convention scene and even overhearing a negative comment that hurt his feelings. As for what movies to watch.. Star Trek 1 thru 4 and part 6 Undiscovered Country. And then the TNG cast made a couple of good ones like the first 3 movies were really good.

MertzRocks

Watching and reacting to Star Trek can be a huge commitment. The Original Series is worth watching all of - at least the 1st two seasons and selections from S3. That's just my opinion. Definitely watch a minimum of 10-12 episodes (poll winners?) of the Original before starting the original-cast movies. For The Next Generation I would maybe poll your Patrons for episodes. Definitely you need to see a good bit of this show before any of the Next-Gen movies. You've seen some DS9 (imo starts weak, ends strong) and Voyager ('Janeway' you called it lol; imo starts strong, has weak spots but also ends strong), and the 'prequel' Enterprise (imo starts weak, ends strong except series finale is divisive). ...And Michael is right about NOT beginning with the JJ Abrams 2009 movie series. Abrams hated Star Trek and wasn't shy about saying so. He did it for the money; and again imo: He butchered the entire premise of the show... I've been watching Star Trek since 1969, even though I didn't really get it yet (I was 4-5 years old lol), but my mom loved it and then I grew up seeing the reruns on TV after school every day all through school and even after high school. Even when Star Trek goes off the rails or hits a speed bump, it's near impossible to stop. 💕 Kudos too, to shows, miniseries and movies that were inspired by Star Trek, including but not limited to: Star Wars franchise, Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica, The Expanse, Stargate franchise, Farscape, FIREFLY, Spielberg's TAKEN miniseries and more that I'm sure others may mention (not trying to leave anyone out!); and even shows that pre-date Star Trek like Lost in Space, and DOCTOR WHO! This movie is a love letter to ALL of them (even ones that weren't produced 'til later)!!! 🤘😎🎸

John A

Such a fun movie. Have you seen "Fanboys" (2009). I think you will like it.

This was a reply to a comment but I thought it deserved its own place as an original comment too. You ROCK Teegan! 😘💕 🤘😎🎸 (like me!) Watching and reacting to Star Trek can be a huge commitment.

@LiteWeight Gaming / Reacting The actor you're searching for is the great Wil Wheaton. He played Wesley Crusher on ST: The Next Generation as the only reoccurring child crew member, as I recall. He also played one of the four boys in Stephen King's "Stand By Me". Gordie Lachance was the film's narrator and main character.

Adam Heck

I think you would really enjoy the tv show The Orville. It does take 3 or so ep to get past the more silly parts.

WallyWeasel

I like the movie for it being able to walk the fine line between pure homage and parody. They didn't want to mock Star Trek and other sci fi series but they didn't want to cozy up to them too much either. Also, fun side fact, those were actual conventioneers. I don't know if they hired them out or took over a convention hall for a day. But it's not unfounded if it were the latter as the stadium scene from Dark Knight Rises was with an actual stadium crowd and most of the orc chants from Lord of the Rings were recorded in a stadium but fans there to watch a game.

Teegz, Babe, only reactor i ever became a Patreon to.... Ep.3 SW made me do it🤗😭😭😭😭 Kindred Spirit, no Creepies i promise😊🤗😊🤗😊🤗

By Grabthaws Hammer, You will be avenged🤗🤗🤗

Tim De Thülman

Shit, all of STTNG and DS9, maybe early Voyager, after that i dropped off

Riggo 82

You need to watch all of movies with the original cast. None of the JJ Abrams films. And, the Next Gen films, are optional. Plus, you should also watch the OG Series, TNG, and DS9.

Baldemort

Speak for yourself. the new JJ films are amazing. I been a treky all my life. You dont speak for everyone.

Baldemort

To be fair, Star wars is more inspired by Dune than it is Star Trek

MertzRocks

Yeah I can certainly wrap my mind around that. Even though Dune is truly hard sci-fi and SW is total fantasy; almost - but not really - a sideways Lord of the Rings in space... And this movie is a love letter to them ALL.

MertzRocks

No one speaks for everyone, nor for anyone but themselves. I dislike the Kelvin movies too, though I thought the 1st one was... okay... Trek has become more divisive than it ever should have, and this makes me sad as a Trekkie since 1969-70 - watching at 5-6 years old, on a 9-inch portable black and white TV no less!

MertzRocks

"I won't say that STUPID line, one more time..." "Oh, yes you will..."

Matthew McDowell

My first full watch-along after becoming a Patron. That was a lot of fun

Bernie Zwicky

I’m glad you enjoyed this one so much! If you’d like to see another space show that’s similar to Star Trek, but with Much More humor in it, then you might want to check out, “The Orville”. It’s incredibly entertaining and fun to watch, with a great cast and storyline! I think you would really love it!😊💙
