This 2009 movie by J.J. Abrams successfully rebooted the Star Trek franchise for yet another generation. Chris Pine plays a young James T. Kirk, Zachary Quinto plays young Spock, and this prequel shows us not only how those two met, but how the Enterprise came under Kirk’s command. Briskly paced, imaginatively written – and, to its credit, faced with humor throughout, though nothing campy or self-mocking.
