This is a very light and bird's eye view of the person that Leonard Nimoy was: Star Trek, some other stuff, everybody loved him, he died, the end. It makes one sympathise and feel good, especially since it is a documentary started with him and then continued after his death by the producer: Adam Nimoy, his son. There is something emotional about a son researching and creating this living eulogy to his father that touches people. Yet, I have also read Adam Nimoy's book "My Incredibly Wonderful, Miserable Life: An Anti-Memoir", which I thought was more personal, closer to the truth and putting the reader into that unenviable position that the son was put in: son of a beloved celebrity, desperately needing his father's attention and looking up to him for the very same reason that keeps him away.
Bottom line: casual Star Trek fans will enjoy this. People will get how pleasant a person Leonard Nimoy was and maybe understand why Shatner was so annoyed with him on set. But the actual person that Nimoy was is not revealed by this documentary. It's a painfully external outlook on his person, without the important part, his inner life. The best option is to read his son's book, which is also not intimate enough. Worth the watch, though.
