I thought it really worked. It obviously didn't have the same emotional punch of the one in Wrath of Khan because there was so much history and love between the classic versions of these characters (I don't necessarily mean in a shippy way! however you wanna define that love but to say it isn't there is just stupid) and like you can see in that whole scene with Shatner's hands pressed hard against the glass and Nimoy leaning heavily against his side of it, both these guys know EXACTLY what they're losing, both just clinging to these last moments together because they should have so much more TIME
now, in the reboot, they're mostly the same people but the relationship is different. They didn't click instantly, it had to grow. And in the end of XI, Spock Prime tells his young counterpart that his friendship with Kirk will come to define them both, and you can clearly see that Quinto-Spock doesn't buy it. all throughout Into Darkness Kirk makes friendly overtures towards Spock, and Spock doesn't quite know how to react (which makes sense! Remember in that episode The Naked Time [SUCH a nerd omg omg] when they all get space-drunk and all these secrets just come bustin' out, Spock tells Kirk that when he feels friendship towards him, he's ashamed?). But in that scene, I felt that for the first time, the full impact of how much he did respect and like this guy and how good a team they are and how much he'd hate to lose him was suddenly hitting Spock right in the face and he's just about to lose him.
also, the parallels. Not just the scene itself or the hands on the glass, even the dialogue is mirrored (in Wrath of Khan, the first thing Spock says is "the ship...out of danger?" Into Darkness, the first thing Kirk says is "how's our ship?" and Spock says "out of danger." MY HEART.) it's an alternate universe, yes, but though some things are different, some things are meant to be!
