It took 13 years from the time the first Star Trek TV episode aired to the release of the first movie. Since then, there have been nine sequels, featuring the cast from two different TV incarnations and one reboot. There’s a commonly acknowledged rule among Star Trek fans that the odd-numbered movies are terrible and the even-numbered films are good (or in some cases, just less terrible). That rule has mostly held, though J.J. Abrams’ 2009 reboot, the 11th in the series, is probably one of the franchise’s best, reimagining the crew of the original Enterprise as young, cocky, emotional and extremely attractive. A sequel is in the works. Naturally.
