Star Trek is headed back to the big screen for its big 60th birthday in September. Starting on September 4 and running through September 8 — the 60th anniversary of Star Trek — the first four theatrically released Star Trek films will return to theaters at AMC and Cinemark locations around the U.S. But there’s an interesting twist with this theatrical re-release: each film is billed as a double-feature, complete with an episode of The Original Series that complements the themes and events of each of the first four movies.
Basically, nobody has ever watched Star Trek movies in the theater quite like this before. But with a few of these pairings, this may be the best way to experience Trek on the big screen ever. Here’s which Star Trek movies are getting a theatrical re-release in September, and which TOS episodes each is paired with.
