The chase scene where Excelsior tries to stop the Enterprise from escaping Spacedock has more drama, tension, and excitement than maybe any scene in the Kelvin movies (with everything racing around so fast all gravitas is lost).
@ValueSubtracted Not my favourite of the franchise, but it definitely has some peak moments for me. Christopher Lloyd's performance was inspired & the ending had me in tears, as did many of the TOS era films. <3
