If at first you succeed, and then run out of good ideas - reboot. That is the formula for pretty much every old, fading movie franchise these days. Few franchises are older than Star Trek, which was supposed to be dead a bunch of times already. But Star Trek went from a canceled 60's show, to two incarnations of a movie franchise, to countless more TV shows, and what seemed to be a final death a few years ago. With the movies at their low point, and no Star Trek on TV for the first time in decades, it was time to go the way of Batman and James Bond - start over with origin stories and younger people.
Trekkies have had their phasers set on JJ Abrams and his crew for months, but while some of them might still have itchy trigger fingers, Star Trek is back for everyone else.
James Tiberius Kirk was literally born defying death, after his father saved him and hundreds more from a mysterious Romulan attack, headed by mad Captain Nero. On the other side of the galaxy, a Vulcan named Spock was born to a Vulcan father and human mother - with both cold logic and untapped emotion inside of him. Nearly 25 years later, Kirk's raw, rebellious brand of heroism and Spock's seemingly emotionless command would collide at Starfleet - along with a few other familiar names. But in the midst of their training, a new attack from Nero and his strangely advanced ship brings Kirk, Spock and their future friends together on board a ship called the U.S.S. Enterprise. As the future of Earth, the Federation, and perhaps even time itself comes under fire, Kirk and Spock must work out their budding clash of wills and try to save the universe together for the first time - with a little guidance from their future.
