JJ Abram’s 2009 sci-fi adventure prequel, starring Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto, uses the twin devices of a parallel timeline and time travel to boldly move the franchise in a new direction, introducing the young tearaway James T Kirk and an equally youthful Spock. The two recruits instantly clash but must overcome their differences if they are to survive a vengeful visitor from the future.
