Star Trek Watch Order
Watch Star Trek (Modern Films) in release order, starting with Star Trek (2009) and finishing with Star Trek: Section 31 (2025). The story runs in the same order the films were released, so there is only one order to follow. All 4 films run about 8 hours in total.
1.Star Trek
2009 · 2h 7m
The reboot that starts this timeline and introduces the young Enterprise crew from scratch.
2.Star Trek Into Darkness
2013 · 2h 12m
The middle film, continuing the crew's first years and nodding to classic Trek along the way.
3.Star Trek Beyond
2016 · 2h 2m
The trilogy's closing entry, set deep into the Enterprise's five-year mission and rounding off this crew's run.
4.Star Trek: Section 31
2025 · 1h 36m
OptionalA standalone spun off from the Discovery series rather than a fourth Kelvin film, so it is easy to skip.
Which order is right for you
Watching Star Trek in order
The three Kelvin-timeline films are a straightforward trilogy that runs the same order however you watch, since release order matches the in-universe sequence. Start with the 2009 reboot. Section 31 sits outside that trilogy, so treat it as an optional extra rather than a fourth chapter.
Release order follows the real-world dates the films came out. It is usually the safest choice for a first watch, because every reveal, cameo, and callback lands the way audiences experienced it at the time.
Star Trek (Modern Films) is one of the straightforward ones. The story moves forward with each release, so the chronological timeline and the release timeline are the same list. Start at the top and work down.
