If you haven't seen the new one, why not go see it? I saw it, and it was just awesome.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but the new Star Trek movie is just better than The Wrath Of Khan. (Now let's hope a Trekkie comes into my house with a chainsaw! )

[iori]

I'm too lazy to rank but my favorites are:

Star Trek(2009)
Search for Spock
Wrath of Khan
The Motion Picture
First Contact
The Undiscovered Country.

Sorry forgot to put Final Frontier in there and I may be seeing XI this weekend, not a sure thing though.

Havent seen XI yet, but have a feeling from the reviews and trailers it will either pbe 1st or 2nd on my list

The new one is my favorite. My other favorites, in no particular order are II, IV, First Contact, and Insurrection.

[Nameless Evil]

1. II - The Wrath of Khan
2. VI - The Undiscovered Country
3. I - Star Trek - The Motion Picture
4. VIII - First Contact
5. VII - Generations
6. IV - The Voyage Home
7. IX - Insurrection
8. III - The Search for Spock
9. X - Nemesis
10. V - The Final Frontier
11. XI - Star Trek

I thought the most recent film was the worst of the bunch, everything that made Star Trek cool and relevant (social commentary, philosophy, etc...) was discarded and replaced by mindless, gratuitous action.

I understand part of the reason for a reboot was to bring in new fans, but the new fans are going to reference decades of existing franchise content and not get it.

...that is what happens when people are put in charge of franchise projects and are not familiar with the franchise themselves.

What's next? Silvester Stallone doing a remake of "Hamlet"?

[tilallr1]

I think I would have to go with the ratings on IMDB:

#1 - ST2: Wrath of Khan (7.8)
#2 - ST8: First Contact (7.6)
#3 - ST4: Voyage Home (7.3)
#4 - ST6: Undiscovered Country (7.2)
#5 - ST3: Search for Spock (6.5)
#6 - ST7: Generations (6.4)
#7 - ST9: Insurrection (6.4)
#8 - ST10: Nemesis (6.4)
#9 - ST1: The Motion Picture (6.2)
#10 - ST5: The Waste of Time ... um ... The Final Frontier (4.9)

Also, do not include XI yet. You haven't seen it a gazilion times yet to compare properly. Does it hold up over time test.

I hear what you are saying and agree to a point with your comments...that point being that there is no way that the new film is worst than Star Trek V which was just horrid beyond belief. But you are entitled to your opinion!

[JRS03]

II Great Film (Much Like the Series)
VI Another fun Film (Much Like the Series)
IV The One with the comedy

Then

III - Christopher Loyd as a Klingon....ummm yeah. Dumb
I - An ok film that has grown on me. Still very long and not something I would
not watch all the time.
V- The worst but did have its moments. I love the whole Yosemite thing at
the begining and Kik's "Go Climb A Rock" T -Shirt from the Yosemite
Mountain Climbing School. (Nice to know thats still around 200 years from
now)

Ummm.....the rest of the films

Nothing exists after that. TNG is not Star Trek and the new film is painful to watch...nice special effects but not much else. Would make a good xbox game I suppose.

Star Trek

Bear in mind, I didn't hate the new movie, it will just never be genuine Star Trek in my opinion; also, while the new cast was great, they will never come close to matching my love for the TOS and TNG casts. So even though "Nemesis" and "Generations" were pretty much terrible, I've ranked them higher for this reason.

[Verisimilitude]

My list reads (along with my favourite moments in the films):

1. Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

[Show spoiler]"Khaaan!" or Spock's final scene

2. Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country

[Show spoiler]"Let them die!" or the final battle

3. Star Trek (2009)

[Show spoiler]The opening to the movie with the USS Kelvin or meeting Ambassador Spock Nero's destruction

4. Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home

[Show spoiler]Too many scenes...antique shop or bus ride come to mind

5. Star Trek III: The Search for Spock

[Show spoiler]"Kirk, you do this, you'll never sit in the Captain's chair again." or Bones' scene in the bar

6. Star Trek: First Contact

[Show spoiler]Battle with the borg cube

7. Star Trek: The Final Frontier

[Show spoiler]"What does God need with a starship?" or the first camp fire conversation or Sybock's mind probe of Kirk/Spock/Bones

8. Star Trek: Insurrection

[Show spoiler]Riker/Troi rekindling their romance

9. Star Trek: Nemesis

[Show spoiler]"I'm a mirror for you too." and Picard ramming the Enterprise into Shinzon's ship

10. Star Trek: The Motion Picture

[Show spoiler]The 6 minute Enterprise docking scene or the initial get together of the crew in face of the crisis

11. Star Trek: Generations

[Show spoiler]nothing at all, movie was terrible

[AKORIS]

haven't seen the new one yet so here goes--

1] STAR TREK 2-- WRATH OF KHAN (Khaann!!!!)
2] STAR TREK-- FIRST CONTACT (Borg Queen rocks!)
3] STAR TREK 3-- SEARCH FOR SPOCK (so underrated)
4] STAR TREK-- GENERATIONS (gets better and better as time goes by)
5] STAR TREK -- UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY (the original cast swan song )
6] STAR TREK-- NEMESIS (much better than it's reputation)
7] STAR TREK -- THE VOYAGE HOME (always felt this was overrated)
8] STAR TREK -- THE FINAL FRONTIER (not the worst as is often said)
9] STAR TREK - INSURRECTION (like a mediocre TV episode)
10] STAR TREK- THE MOTION PICTURE (yawwwnnnnn!)

Perhaps you don't like the new one because you must be a full-fledged Trekkie. Don't worry, I don't hate you. I'm just suspecting that, because a lot of Trekkies like the old fashioned movies for themselves rather than the whole audience.

Oh, and saying that Stallone doing a remake of "Hamlet" makes me wanna hang a poor teddy bear. The Razzie-king knows better than that.

Have you actually seen the Director's Edition of the original movie?
