This is exactly what I wanted from an edit of this film, There's certain plot elements that nothing can be done about, like the chase for Khan's magical blood when McCoy literally has one of Khan's ubermensch unfrozen right in front of him whose blood he could also use. I've seen cuts where that sequence is entirely cut out, but I think this one works best because TM2YC has managed to make Kirk's death actually land emotionally. As a result, that action sequence feels like it has stakes rather than something I felt disconnected to, which was the case during my previous viewing of this film because I was still rolling my eyes over the unearned rehash of Wrath of Khan.
All the cuts and additions TM2YC has made work to make the film far better. Uhura, in particular, benefits greatly from no longer acting like a spoiled child at Spock for being willing to sacrifice himself to save an entire planet. As does Kirk for no longer acting like a horny teenager.
Absolutely the best version of this film I've seen.
