13 Star Trek Movies Ranked By Worst To Best Box Office

Although Star Trek began as a television franchise and has produced far more television than films, thirteen Star Trek films hit the big screen since the end of Star Trek: The Original Series. After the syndication success of TOS, Paramount had plans for another Star Trek television project, titled Star Trek: Phase II. However, after the successes of Star Wars and Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Paramount saw the opportunity to achieve box office success with a Star Trek feature. Ideas from Phase II were reworked into a film script, which went through many revisions and changes before becoming the story told in Star Trek: The Motion Picture.
