Star Trek: Ranking the Movies

As Star Trek Discovery warps onto our TV's, Lee Hutchison ranks the Star Trek movie series...

1. The Wrath of Khan (1982)

The movie that saved Star Trek after the misstep that was The Motion Picture, Nicholas Meyer brought together a shambolic pre-production to make the series dynamic, adventurous, bold – out of the space pyjamas and into the modern day. It’s a movie that delivers a series high villain, death, tense set pieces and great performances from everyone involved.

It’s too often overlooked how much of a gear shift this movie was but this feels like where Star Trek truly began and has burned across the universe ever since.
