Franchises at galactic scale, and the arguments they started.
the film the modern industry is built on
the sequel that made sequels serious
the one that proved the franchise could be great
the landing, and the merchandising era
the one with the whales, and the Trek you can hand to anyone
the best of the TNG films
nothing else looks like it
the most-argued-about blockbuster of its decade
the weakest of the nine, and unavoidable in order
dragged on release, now the accepted good one
a flop continuation of a cancelled show; a genuinely good film either way
the reboot done well
the revival that worked, whatever came after
the war film inside the franchise
the most argued-about blockbuster of the decade
a divisive ending to a nine-film arc
