A young girl walks through a secret door in her new home and discovers an alternate version of her life.

On the surface, this parallel reality is eerily similar to her real life - only much better.

‘Be careful what you wish for…’

Star Trek (12A)

Genre: Adventure/Fantasy/Action
Cast: John Cho, Simon Pegg, Chris Pine, Winona Ryder
Director: J.J. Abrahams
Duration: 2hrs 30mins
Release Date: 8/05/2009

From the first scene the Star Trek universe as we knew it has changed forever. Kirk is now an angry wayward young man looking for trouble. He fights with Starfleet cadets in Iowa when Capt. Pike takes an interest in him, finding out he's the only 'genius level repeat offender in the Midwest'.

Pike dares Kirk to join Starfleet, goading him with the legacy of his father. Meanwhile, a young Spock is tortured over his mixed heritage, the emotions he fights to control and the very different paths he has before him. He must choose between the Vulcan world, which will never accept him as anything other than 'half human' and Starfleet Academy, worlds away from everything he has ever known.

We also meet Dr 'Bones' McCoy and a young linguist Uhura at the Academy and watch as a headstrong Kirk wreaks havoc on Starfleet's rules and regulations.

Kirk's antics culminate in his reprogramming the famous Kobayashi Maru test and consequent disciplinary hearing. He comes face to face with the scenario creator, Mr Spock. As this unfolds, a vicious Romulan from the future is hell bent on vengeance upon 'Ambassador' Spock and nothing will get in his way. The fleet is called to arms as peril aims at the heart of the Federation and Kirk and Spock are irrevocably pulled together to save the galaxy - for the first time.

'A chronicle of the early days of James T. Kirk and his fellow USS Enterprise crew members.'
