10 Films That Wanted To Be Star Trek

10. Avengers: Endgame

This is one that's actually been confirmed by the Russo Brothers, both of whom openly admitted to being heavily inspired by Star Trek: The Next Generation. Specifically, they said that All Good Things was the main point of reference when putting the film together.

Both stories see the heroes traveling to various points in time, affecting the past and future. Both also see them, when in the past, trying their hardest not to interfere with the normal flow of time, though this proves impossible in the big-budget film. There is a large emphasis on technobabble in Endgame, along with the standard explanations that tended to follow Trek's technobabble, allowing for plenty of in-jokes with the audience.

Finally, once all was said and done with the film, the end credits begin to roll. Oddly enough, that's when the Star Trek inspiration is most brazenly on show. When the big six stars are credited, their signatures appear on-screen, while the original Avengers theme swells around them. This is a direct lift/borrow from Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, another nod to the Star Trek fans, and another little inclusion that makes this movie far closer to a Trek film than many in the audience ever expected.
