Undiscovered Country.

Followed closely by The Wrath of Khan, The Motion Picture, and The Voyage Home.

The worst Star Trek movie would be a more interesting poll IMO; Nemesis vs Into Darkness.

I'm extremely fond of The Voyage Home, but I had to go with The Undiscovered Country. The plot and pacing is just so perfect. It's a roller coaster from start to finish and doesn't drag. No scene is tedious or seems unnecessary. I'm also particularly fond of the large mystery component, which was so refreshing and lacking in the previous movies. It's like Murder on the Orient Express, but on a starship. Finally, the fact that it's the bittersweet send-off to the crew is the cherry on top.

The Wrath of Khan. I honestly think it's in a tier of it's own, with Undiscovered Country, Voyage Home, and First Contact in the tier below it.

I'm kinda surprised the reboot or Khan aren't walking away with this. I went with The Undiscovered Country. For me it is the height of Star Trek reaching for and achieving everything it always aimed for. It told a great story while being tied to the real world of its day. It spoke to more than how well it could blow things up in space, while still doing a pretty good job of blowing things up when the need arose.

The new ones are terrible, they shouldn't even be included on this poll.

My vote goes to First Contact, with a voyage home as a close second.

I pick the Undiscovered Country, but Wrath of Khan is right there with it. First Contact and Voyage Home are right behind.

Worst is still Final Frontier... that was a bad movie.

IV Voyage Home

I'd put the reboot after every Trek movie that came before it. Even the Final Frontier and that 3rd Generations Movie that was horrible.

I'm guessing you just refuse to acknowledge star trek 5?


I voted first contact because I like the next generation more. But top 3 are 2,6,FC.

It depends on the quality of movie one desires. I found The Wrath of Khan to be most scary (as a young child), The Voyage Home to be the most entertaining, and The Final Frontier to have the most intense plot. I ended up going for the latter.

I've never seen anyone call the plot to Final Frontier Intense. Interesting.

In terms of my rankings:

1) The Undiscovered Country
2) The Voyage Home
3) First Contact
4) The Wrath of Khan
5) Generations
6) Star Trek (09)
7) The Final Frontier
8) The Motion Picture
9) Into Darkness
10) The Search for Spock
11) Insurrection (Even though this might be a little low)
12) Nemesis
