The rebooted Capt. Kirk (played by Chris Pine) starts as a much younger captain than the one portrayed in the TV series. This gives Pine the room to make some juvenile-yet-hilarious mistakes, such as getting in bar fights, or being angry with colleague Spock because the logical Vulcan alien — a very by-the-books sort of person — accused Kirk of cheating on a key test when he found a loophole.
Kirk’s boisterous mistakes as a neophyte captain made him funny to watch on screen in the first movie (“Star Trek,” 2009), but by the second movie (“Star Trek Into Darkness,” 2012) his mistakes quickly caught him up to him. Among other errors, he broke the First Directive about contact with alien species early in their development, and put too much trust in the terrorist John Harrison (played by Benedict Cumberbatch).
Fortunately, Kirk matured by the time “Star Trek Beyond” (2016) was released, and he began to show the crafty gifts of his TV namesake. One of the best sequences was near the end of the film, when he rode a motorcycle around an enemy camp to confuse the aliens there and give his captured crew enough time to escape. We’re looking forward to seeing how Kirk progresses in the next “Star Trek” film, which is greenlit but doesn’t yet have a release date or a name.
