Such a powerful scene in STIII... the drumroll summons that elegiac melody in the strings as the Enterprise descends, aflame, to the Genesis planet and we see our beloved characters facing the fact that this time it’s for real. Star Trek III may not be everyone’s favorite film, but everyone finds that scene moving.
