Movies:

Very good ones:

  1. II- Wrath of Khan [space swashbuckling: what else ?]
  2. I- Motion Picture [I’m never really sure about this one: I like it, it’s beautiful with Goldsmith at his best]
  3. VI- Undiscovered Country [Could be ranked first, love the intelligent political plot, the music, the Klingons]
  4. Star Trek 2009 [like TFA : not very good when you take a close look, but an action packed sci-fi ride that gets the job done]

Then, mediocre but watchable:

  1. III- Search for Spock [transitionnal movie, not much happens but I can enjoy it within the franchise rather than a stand alone flick]
  2. Into Darkness [too hysterical, too talkative when unneeded, and dumb, with an awful script]
  3. IV- Voyage Home [like III: it’s fun to watch only to complete the Spock narrative arc]

And last, lazy and (really) bad:

  1. First Contact [Die Hard in the Enterprise but Picard is no McClane, terrible Earth sequences]
  2. V- Final Frontier [ambitious but not talent, except Goldsmith’s score]
  3. Insurrection [looks like the tv series, but too long and dull]
  4. Nemesis [well…]
  5. Generations [seriously ?]

TV Series:

  1. Deep Space Nine
  2. Next Generation
  3. Star Trek TOS (with the Animated extension as well)

Then, I don’t like:

  1. Voyager
  2. Enterprise
