History Heartwarming / StarTrek2009

* [=McCoy=] is about to board the Enterprise, leaving a stunned Kirk behind, when he stops, sighs and goes back to sneak him onboard. It truly demonstrates the extent of their friendship that he's willing to risk everything to make sure his friend gets to come along. (It also ends up saving them all, [[spoiler:and Earth too]].)

* Spock's relationships/'moments' with his mother and [[spoiler: Uhura]].
** Especially with the latter. [[spoiler:After the destruction of Vulcan, Spock struggles to remain stoic in front of everyone, his father included, and since he doesn't want everyone to see him like that, he leaves. Uhura follows him, and they share a tender moment in the lift. In short, Uhura hugs him while Spock buries his face into her shoulder, looking like he's going to cry. Anyone who thinks their relationship is StrangledByTheRedString has to consider this scene; the normally stoic Spock has no problems with breaking down in front of her, showing just how far their relationship has come off-screen.]]
** Sarek and Spock: [[spoiler:"Because I loved her."]] That is all.
* The brief meeting between Kirk and [[spoiler:Spock Prime]] ends with an exchange that speaks to the notion that as much as things change they stay the same...
-->'''Kirk:''' [[spoiler:Where you came from]]... did I know my father?\\
'''[[spoiler:Spock Prime]]:''' Yes. You often spoke of him as being your inspiration for joining Starfleet.

'''[[spoiler:Spock Prime]]:''' A trick I learned from an old friend. ''[gives Vulcan salute]'' Live long and prosper.
* [[spoiler:Spock Prime quoting his death scene -- "I have been, and always will be, your friend." -- at Kirk.]]
** Not just his [[spoiler:death scene, but one of the essential truths of a life over two centuries long. Consider also that in Spock Prime's timeline, Kirk Prime has been gone for eight decades.]]
* Also at the end, this little dialogue between Kirk and Pike when [[spoiler:Kirk becomes the captain and takes command over the ''Enterprise'']].

* Spock meets [[spoiler:Spock Prime]].
-->'''[[spoiler:Spock Prime]]:''' Since my customary farewell would appear oddly self-serving, I shall simply say... ''[shows Vulcan hand salute]'' Good luck.

* The bloopers on Website/YouTube, when Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto perform a smooth high-five and rebound after a take is just so flawlessly bromantic that it hurts. If you look at what they're wearing and the characters involved, they just finished shooting the scene where [[spoiler: Kirk provokes Spock into an unstoppable rage]].

* Karl Urban's performance both for getting to appear in a franchise [[PromotedFanboy he's loved since childhood]] and delivering a performance that captured the spirit of DeForest Kelley so well it moved Leonard Nimoy to tears.

The 2009 ''Film/{{Star Trek}}'' movie offers plenty moments of heartwarming, particularly the first ten minutes. *[[TearJerker sniff]]*

* One particular moment that always gets to this troper: The shuttle with newborn James T. Kirk and his mother is flying away from the battle, when one of the Nerada's missiles locks on to it. The missile gets within ''a few feet'' of the shuttle, when suddenly a phaser-beam from the Kelvin blows it away, letting the shuttle escape to safety. George Kirk knows he's going to die in this fight, but he is '''NOT''' going to let those bastards get his wife and son.

* The bloopers on YouTube, when Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto perform a smooth high-five and rebound after a take is just so flawlessly bromantic that it hurts. BonusPoints for the fact that, if you look at what they're wearing and the characters involved, they just finished shooting the scene where [[spoiler: Kirk provokes Spock into an unstoppable rage]].

* In the novelization of the movie, at the very end where the ''Enterprise'' is about to warp out, the transporter flares to life.... and a rather puzzled-looking [[Series/StarTrekEnterprise beagle]] trots out. Most adorable punchline to a BrickJoke ''EVER.''
* It didn't actually end up in the movie, but the scene that the writers wrote for Shatner (in hopes he would do a cameo) is really quite lovely. Check it out [[http://trekmovie.com/2009/11/23/read-the-star-trek-2009-scene-written-for-william-shatner/ here]].
