Star Trek Viewing Guide

Feature film

Star Trek (2009)

Why is this here?

While the Kelvin films largely take place between 2258 and 2263, they exist in an alternate timeline that is created due to the Romulan supernova that takes place in the normal “Prime” timeline in 2387. That event continues to have repercussions in the prime timeline after 2387, so the placement that made most sense to me was to watch them at that point in the viewing order, before Star Trek: Picard.
