The way Spock straightens his coat when he rises, despite all the pain and everything he's been through, just goes to show what a badass he really is. Was a nice touch by Nimoy.
-
"Out of all the souls I've met in my travels, his was the most... human." Oh god right through the heart strings. The best Star Trek moment of all time right there, ever.
-
Spock finding logic in his own death.......simply genius level badassery
-
Young Spock: "Did you defeat him?" Old Spock: sighs "At great cost....yes."
-
One of the genius acting choices of Shatner was how he handled the moment of death. He always played Kirk so big, so stylized. When Spock finally expires, he responds with an very small, very quiet, almost childlike and helpless "no." A helpless plea to no one at all, meant for no one's ears. It shakes me to see and hear that, just brilliant.
-
People always say that the best line of Wrath was Shatner's KHAN! But that moment when he looses Spock, when he just lets out that whisper of "no", that had more emotion in it than any shout that could echo through space.
-
You know what's the saddest part? The fact that all the people who were with Shatner here(Deforest Kelley(Dr McCoy), James Doohan(Scotty), and Nimoy) are gone. Kirk truly is alone, now.

I’m a 42 year old man and saw this as a 7 year old and I still get misty eyes even today as it reminds me of my dad who introduced me to star trek. Thanks dad.x
-
I remember seeing this with my father in 1982. You could hear a pin drop in the theater. The only sound was sniffling and tearful, whispered cries of disbelief: "No!". My dad's eyes too were wet with tears. Absolutely stunning scene.
-
To me the most painful line is Scotty’s “Sir! He’s dead already.” It robbed Kirk of any hope he had left of saving Spock.
-
No shouting. Just wanting to sit as close as he can with his dying friend. One of the best scenes ever. This brings me to tears every time.
-
For me at least, Spock adjusting his uniform, to be at his parade ground best is the most gut wrenching part of this scene for me. As someone who has served and lost his only friends, I can perfectly understand that small detail. Well done Mr. Nimoy. Until we all join you in that true final frontier, I thank you. Without this scene, my childhood would never have been complete. Salute.
-
That little moment when Spock painfully drags himself to his feet, and then pauses to straighten his uniform... dammit, it gets me every time.
-
"You know he's not dead, as long as we remember him." - Bones
-
What always gets me in this scene is every time Spock starts to fall, Kirk moves with him as if he's trying to catch him.
-
This is honestly the most gut wrenching scene. The power is in the little details. Spock, in obvious pain, adjusting his uniform to retain his composure. Kirk, clearly fighting the urge to enter the room to be with his friend. And the score is quite appropriate too. No need for a sweeping orchestra. The silence carries all the emotion.
-
The way Kirk says "No.." after all these years, is still so heart wrenching.
-
I dont care what people say about William Shatners acting, but in this scene his grief at loosing his friend and shipmate of so many years feels so real and genuine! (especially when spock dies and as he talks about spock at his funeral),
-
This is why Star Trek II Is the best movie in the franchise.
-
One of the most iconic scenes in movie history!
