Cada película de Star Trek en orden cronológico

El mundo de Star Trek incluye 14 películas, estrenadas tanto en cines como a través de servicios de streaming, y descubrir la mejor manera de verlas puede ser complicado. La franquicia comenzó oficialmente con Star Trek: The Motion Picture en 1979. A partir de 1987 con Star Trek: The Next Generation, los fanáticos podían seguir las aventuras de Star Trek tanto en la televisión como en el cine.

Desde la década de 1970, cada diez años se estrena una nueva película de Star Trek. Las décadas de 1980 y 1990 fueron especialmente exitosas para la serie de películas. A lo largo de la historia de Star Trek, desde la visión original de Gene Roddenberry, pasando por el liderazgo de Rick Berman en los años 90, hasta los estrenos actuales bajo la dirección de Alex Kurtzman, las películas siempre han sido parte de la franquicia.

Antes del lanzamiento de Star Trek: Sección 31 en 2025, Star Trek existía únicamente como una serie de películas teatrales. Todas las películas de Star Trek realizadas antes de la Sección 31 presentaban la nave Starship Enterprise, dirigida por el Capitán James T. Kirk (interpretado por William Shatner), el Capitán Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) o una versión más joven del Capitán Kirk de la línea temporal alternativa de Kelvin (Chris Pine).

Algunas de las escenas más icónicas y memorables de la historia de Star Trek tuvieron lugar en las películas, y aquí te explicamos cómo puedes verlas.

Cómo ver películas de Star Trek cronológicamente en salas de cine y cine Orden de lanzamiento de transmisión

Abrams que tiene lugar en una línea temporal diferente y, finalmente, Star Trek: Sección 31.

How To Watch Star Trek Movies By In-Universe Timeline Order

Watching the Star Trek movies in the order the events happen within the story—rather than by release date—can be a more engaging and thought-provoking experience.

The Star Trek movies generally take place in either the 23rd century (like The Original Series) or the 24th century (like The Next Generation). However, some films use time travel or show events from the past. The movies directed by J.J. Abrams are unique because they’re set before the beginning of Star Trek: The Original Series.

I remember being totally blown away by the beginning of J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek! The way they showed the USS Kelvin getting destroyed and Kirk’s dad, George Kirk, sacrificing himself to save his son… it was heartbreaking, but it created this whole new timeline. Basically, that single event, caused by Romulans traveling through time, kicked everything into high gear and changed the course of history as we knew it. It’s amazing how one moment could create such a different universe!

The new series, Star Trek: Section 31, begins by placing Emperor Philippa Georgiou (played by Michelle Yeoh) in the 24th century, decades before the events of Star Trek: The Next Generation. The story also shows how Georgiou originally rose to power as Emperor in the Mirror Universe through flashbacks set a century before the main storyline.

If you want to watch the Star Trek movies in the order the events happen within the story (even considering time travel and different universes), here’s how to do it:

Paramount Skydance Is Making New Star Trek Movies Only For Theaters

I’m really excited about what the future holds for Star Trek now that Skydance is joining forces with Paramount! From what I understand, they’re making new Star Trek movies a real priority. The new leadership, especially David Ellison – who was involved in the last two Star Trek films – clearly sees how much fans love the franchise, and they’re aiming to release a lot of movies – around 30 a year! It’s great to see Star Trek getting this kind of attention.

Paramount Skydance revealed plans for a new Star Trek movie at CinemaCon 2026. Details are still scarce, but it’s likely the project from the directors of Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves – John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein. This film will reportedly be a fresh start for the franchise, unconnected to any existing Star Trek stories.

There’s talk of multiple new Star Trek movies being developed. Paramount Skydance reportedly wants to reimagine Star Trek to appeal to a broader audience, without relying heavily on the established 60-year history of the series.

Paramount Skydance seems to be considering new Star Trek films and TV shows that aren’t tied to previous storylines. This could mean reboots set in different time periods or locations, or simply starting fresh with new narratives, effectively disconnecting from the existing Star Trek universe.

Paramount Skydance has confirmed that future Star Trek films will be released exclusively in cinemas. The negative response to Star Trek: Section 31 effectively ended plans for more Star Trek movies on the Paramount+ streaming service.

Paramount Skydance Canceled Star Trek 4 & Other Star Trek Movies

Paramount Skydance has canceled Star Trek 4, a move that, while disappointing, wasn’t entirely surprising. This film was intended to be the fourth installment in the series produced by J.J. Abrams, featuring the returning cast including Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, and Karl Urban.

Following a disappointing box office performance for Star Trek Beyond in 2016 compared to the previous two films, J.J. Abrams’ fourth Star Trek movie faced a long and troubled development process lasting nine years. Several directors, including S.J. Clarkson, Matt Shakman, and Quentin Tarantino, were considered for Star Trek 4, but ultimately left the project due to disagreements about the film’s creative direction.

Even though the cast of J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek movies – including Zoe Saldana, Simon Pegg, and Sofia Boutella – had expressed interest in making another film, along with Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, and Karl Urban, Paramount and Skydance officially announced in 2025 that it won’t be happening.

Noah Hawley, known for his work on shows like Fargo and Alien: Earth, had been developing a Star Trek movie that Paramount cancelled after a management change. Another planned Star Trek film, Star Trek Origins, directed by Toby Haynes and written by Seth Grahame-Smith, has also been scrapped.

With 14 films already made, the world of Star Trek is sure to continue with even more exciting adventures in space. It’s currently unknown whether future movies will introduce us to new characters or bring back the crew of the Starship Enterprise for another journey.
