One Iconic Sci-Fi Franchise Is Available to Stream For Free

Highlights

  • Star Trek franchise has a rich history on the big and small screen, making it easier for fans to access classic films and shows.
  • Paramount-owned Pluto TV now offers all 13 Star Trek films for free streaming, along with entire series like TOS and TNG.
  • With future projects and movies on the horizon, now is a great time to dive into the franchise’s iconic films and shows for free.

As a lifelong Star Trek enthusiast who’s been beaming through the final frontier since the original series graced our black-and-white TV screens, I can’t help but feel a sense of excitement and nostalgia upon hearing that all 13 Star Trek films are now available for free streaming on Pluto TV. It’s like finding a rare dilithium crystal in the most unexpected corner of the galaxy!

As a dedicated fan, I can’t help but marvel at the enduring legacy of Star Trek, one of the most influential science fiction franchises ever created. Not only has it left an indelible mark on television, but its cinematic adaptations have truly shone in the spotlight as well. Now, these timeless masterpieces are more accessible than ever for us enthusiasts to enjoy and appreciate.

For over five decades, “Star Trek” has been a constant presence on television screens, with its journey beginning on what would later be known as “Star Trek: The Original Series“. This was followed by other successful series like “Star Trek: The Next Generation“, “Star Trek: Deep Space 9“, and many more. Occasionally, the franchise also captivated audiences with feature films that showcased fresh, thrilling stories featuring the beloved casts and crews of previous series, until Paramount decided to reboot the franchise. While some fans have expressed a desire for new “Star Trek” movies from Paramount, they can already enjoy more than a dozen films within the franchise, some even released after the rebooted series started.

The revamped Star Trek franchise initially focused heavily on the movie element, yielding varying outcomes for the series’ future trajectory. Despite Chris Pine, the leading actor of Star Trek, acknowledging some missteps, these movies remain a significant and well-executed part of the franchise. Remarkably, these gems are now more accessible than ever to new fans joining the franchise. According to Inverse’s report, not only is Star Trek available on Paramount+’s streaming service, but Pluto TV has also begun offering free streaming of all 13 currently released Star Trek films. Pluto TV, a free ad-supported streaming television platform owned by Paramount Global, can stream the Star Trek franchise thanks to its association with it. Additionally, Pluto TV offers new fans the opportunity to watch both Star Trek: The Original Series and Star Trek: The Next Generation.

On-demand versions of the Star Trek shows continue to be accessible, but the Star Trek films are now airing exclusively on Pluto TV’s live channel throughout August. This move is a smart one for Pluto TV, as the films offer an engaging introduction to the franchise and could potentially attract many new viewers. With the rising prices of streaming services, offering more content on a free ad-supported platform like Pluto TV might be Paramount’s strategy to win back lost subscribers. If this is their plan, utilizing one of their most beloved intellectual properties for testing seems logical. Although the future Star Trek movies will need significant changes from previous ones, they remain captivating films that could pique casual interest in the franchise. What’s even more exciting is that critically acclaimed series such as Star Trek: The Original Series and Star Trek: The Next Generation are also showcasing the franchise at its best on the same platform.

Expanding the reach of these movies is truly a fantastic move, arriving at an opportune moment. The series continues to expand, with Star Trek unveiling its latest distinctive project that could captivate fans beyond the realm of science fiction and potentially more installments in the pipeline. For the time being, enthusiasts ought to seize this chance and relish the films while they’re available for free viewing.

The Star Trek franchise is available for streaming in full on Paramount+.
