Just in case some people still haven't seen this.... THERE ARE SPOILERS FOR THIS MOVIE BELOW.
Saw this @ the bfi with fellow londongqmfs. Was great :D Oh, and rather ramdom but who was sat being myself and missy_manic for the screening - David Wailliams (one half of Little Britain) . I applaud his taste :) This was great on the big screen. I have a memory of seeing this as a child on TV - my first introduction to Star Trek that I can remember and being upset by the ending! I think it was one of the first films of my childhood I watched that did not have a Hollywood-type ending of everything is alright at the end. Ok, ok so the lingering last shot of Spock's coffin on a planet that creates life suggests its not the end of Spock - but that was far to subtle a clue for my seven year old brain to understand. ;) Now I love it for its themes of growing old, friendship, life, and death. It so much better than the first movie. And without it we'd never have III and IV which are probably my favourites. I can never decide.
Favourite quote: Spock: If I may be so bold, it was a mistake for you to accept promotion. Commanding a starship is your first, best destiny; anything else is a waste of material.
Kirk: I would not presume to debate you.
Spock: That is wise. Were I to invoke logic, however, logic clearly dictates that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
Kirk: Or the one.
Spock: You are my superior officer. You are also my friend. I have been and always shall be yours.
