The ‘Star Trek’ franchise seems to be thriving everywhere except the silver screen.
Kirk is driven to succeed after Captain Pike (Bruce Greenwood) informs him about his fathers legacy.
One of the primary reasons thatStar Treksucceededcompared to other rebootswas that it embraced the ensemble nature of the franchise.
J.J. Abrams' 2009 movie Star Trek rebooted the iconic sci-fi franchise in a totally new timeline. When a Romulan ship travels back in time and alters the past, the lives of James T. Kirk (Chris Pine), Spock (Zachary Quinto), and the future crew of the USS Enterprise are drastically changed. In this new timeline, the Romulan Nero (Eric Bana) sets out for revenge on Spock, setting off a chain of events that reshape the entire universe.
Though Pine played the part well, Stan could have offered a different but still amazing performance.
