As they watch the Enterprise enter the atmosphere in flames hits me everytime.

[beyerdr]

One of the most memorable scenes of the entire franchise.

[Warmaker]

Poor Scotty, this Enterprise was his baby.

[chrispeplinski]

Kirk turned the no win situation into a fighting chance to live

[Nycholas]

I remember denying the complete destruction of the Enterprise, thinking...oh, they'll fix that...right?....RIGHT?! 😢 But when she goes down in flames, with Kirk and his crew in exile, the loss of his son, on a self destructing planet with Klingons in pursuit, it's a tour de force performance of fighting their way through the deepest shit for one helluva friend. THIS MOVIE RULES!!! 🖖

The drum roll and change of soundtrack as Enterprise starts her final death dive into the atmosphere... Spine tingling

[Allen-byci]

One of the best lines from Dr McCoy at the end there.

[Youcannotfalter]

Always a big lump in my throat seeing this.

[trekkie]

This ship was a legend, I cried when I saw this!

[Plathismo]

The most memorable scene from the last time a Star Trek film really took itself seriously. I miss those days.

[harryc]

A better end for Enterprise than just being scrapped for being to obsolete to repair

[GeoStreber]

In all those years, Kirk and Crew never bothered to change the default password.

[eljaguar]

The Enterpise was destroyed by Captain Kirk. Such irony

[trekkie]

You can clearly see they don’t want to do it and have strong emotions but have to do so as it’s the only way out.

[jonathanroberts-bjyl]

That was one of the saddest moments in the franchise.

[brianwilli]

Kirk's crew would follow him into the depths of hell no question but an order

[Madcat]

Chekov is just sitting there in stunned disbelief that they're actually doing this until it's his turn.

[eternalhalloween]

Granted, it's fiction.. But William, DeForset, James, George, and Walter probably had not one dry eye among them when this scene was shot. :(

3:21 - 4:31
I can't imagine how the fans who grew up watching the show reacted and felt was they watched the Enterprise go down on the big screen.

[budekins]

Best scene of the entire Star Trek saga.
