*Spoiler/plot- For the Love of Spock, 2016. The film's focus began as a celebration of the 50th anniversary of Star Trek: the Original Series, but after Leonard NImoy passed away in February 2015, his director son, Adam was ready to tell an additional private story: his personal experience growing up with Leonard Nimoy and "Mr. Spock". This documentary details the universal impact of Mr. Spock in our culture and the bumpy road of being the son of a 60's TV icon.
*Special Stars- Leonard Nimoy, William Shatner, JJ Abrams, George Takei and many more of the Trek crew.
*Theme- Family must go on and family is important.
*Trivia/location/goofs- Adam Nimoy is a TV director, entertainment lawyer, and a documentarian. He soon is becoming a Trek TV show writer. I saw this fine film when Adam Nimoy showed it a a local Hebrew temple and stayed around for questions afterwards.
*Emotion- Don't look for some fannish shallow canonization of either Nimoy or Spock in this film. This is a more professional and well balanced film. A wonderful and even handed exploration of the Trek icon Mr. Spock and well themed positive film about family, forgiveness, and over coming adversity.
*Based On- Adam Nimoy's tribute to his creative and talented father and his father's Trek contributions.
