Are Star Trek movies and series connected?
First: The Star Trek movies aren’t completely standalone. They require some knowledge of what happened in the Star Trek and Star Trek: The Next Generation TV shows to fully grok. Furthermore, the 13 movies don’t tell one continuous story. Rather, they’re based on three separate iterations of the long-running franchise.
What Star Trek series should I watch first?
the Original Series
There’s an easy, low-commitment way to find out: Watch the Original Series episode Space Seed (S1, E22), then watch the 1982 movie Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. They’re connected; the first gives you the flavor of the whole, er, enterprise while introducing a fantastic villain.

Can you watch Star Trek movies without watching the show?
It takes place in an alternate reality to the previous films and TV series. There are nods to previous films; like old Spock etc. but they are self explained in the film. You can still watch the old stuff but they are not compulsory to watch for understanding Star Trek Beyond.
Can you skip original Star Trek?
If you’re going to watch the original show in any case, then start with it. If you’re not sure, start with TNG. If you skip the original show and still want more Trek after TNG, I would go back to the original show, and then Voyager.
