  • Probably one of the best Trek movies, EVER! The whole score was icing on the cake.

  • Sorry, repost:

    Braveheart, Avatar, Titanic, and this. What an amazing composer James Horner is.

  • Braveheart, Avatar, The Lord of the Rings, and this. What an amazing composer James Horner is.

  • starts @ 2:50

  • @jasonesapp You are friggin awesome for noticing that!! Haha I was just about to post that exact thing till I saw you beat me to it :)

  • @jode94 Thanks man.  I am a major Trek geek!

  • I love Spocks theme. 

  • Star Trek is great

    Star Wars is great

    Can't we all just get along?

  • @RDarth Wish I could give you more thumbs up. Star Trek is epic and Star Wars too. There's no need to fight, we should let the epicness flow in both universes.

    Live long and prosper with the Force at your side!

  • Yes, it's one of the best themes.

  • Of all the shows I have encountered in my travels, this was the most...human.

  • @DetroitLove4U...I agree with you 100%! 'Nuff said!

  • Star Trek II is the cinema pinnacle of "Star Trek" and how so fitting with it such resplendent and brilliant musical prowess within that courtesy of a genius James Horner!!

  • Best Srar Trek movie

  • A beautiful score.

  • I guess Khan jumped on youtube to give this a thumbs down

  • One Person has suffered the wrath of Khan!

  • Epic, grand, best of the best.

  • ST2: TWOK is by far the best of the Star Trek series (followed closely by ST6). The difference of course is Nicholas Meyers. Meyers stated he was so disappointed that they wanted to bring Spock back from the dead in ST3 that he didn't want to direct it, but eventually came back for ST6. Taking nothing away from Shatner or Nimoy, but ST3-5 when pale in comparison to ST2 & 6. I can watch them anytime.

  • @kman3455 I disagree

  • someone please tell me who did this version … its a different recording than the original soundtrack … or at east a different mix.

    ps …. Horner = God

  • I got this LP right here. It is very rare and i wount say how much it his worth ( a lot).

    THe entire score was written my James Horner.

    Of corse the style of the score differs in some parts (commenting the ost of "gigerone"). He just began his pro career that days. But it is mucg better, then some other do today....(not that i want do disregard the work of some other great composers)

  • I love this movie

  • I dream of being a starship captain in a parralel universe in the 26th century and having a prototype warship kinda like the prometheus class but alot bigger

  • This music has a sense of both determination and victory to it. :) The Wrath of Khan is easily my favourite out of all the Star Trek movies :)

  • notice the ending to this theme it was used in the latest film at the end

  • i hope we see this again in satr trek

  • reminds me a lot of David Arnold's work for Emmerich movies

  • @sentient07 - Yeah, it's a bit like the end them of Independence Day - though I admit I never paid attention to the composer who I now know is David Arnold.

  • This was composed by someone else. The percussion is different here.

  • This makes me want to join the navy.

  • I was born in 1978 & blessed am I to still be attained to this planet with my life though a life I would want to be in partisan to others in the heavens. Star Trek is my dream for I aspire to be - the needs of the many are more important than the needs of the few ..... how few of us we are of whom stand for such but teach your children to be one with the stars and we shall grow into the heavens - a masterful cinema gem with a superb soundtrack by a mystical genius!

  • James Horner composes the greatest cinema battle music. Hands down!

  • 4.40 onwards is sooooooooooo cool.

  • @badboy10ize i agree

  • I love this peice, it's epic. For you to understand, at the time, Sci-fi didn't really get the treatment other movies did. This movie with Star wars before it really made hollywood take notice. I was 15 when I first saw this movie. Didn't think after all this time it would still move me like it does.

  • akkbar checking in.. still epic!

  • One of the best Star trek theme!

  • @Locutorium THE Best! Although Star Trek VI comes very close

  • You're right. On video this not the star Strek movie poster on the video yet, and the music is Star Trek Movie number?

  • The best in my view anyway duder.

  • @Locutorium no, the best.

  • This is awesome!

  • @all028: LOL! You're right! Anyways, let the dipsh*t keep talking to you or me. We will just keep talking between ourselves...And yes, I saw the comments from FilmsReel against chronic

    How have u been?  Long time no talk...

  • I'm good, man.  How about yourself?

  • pdynamics: At no point, did u trash the composer and chronic 1 accuses you of doing so. what the hell??

    Notice how we talk to each other but not to him. He must be lonely

    Also, look at comments by FilmsReel or by banalexistence. They both told chronic 1 to fuk off....I think that says it all :)

  • NO, idiot, this is about Star Trek music... when the dummy tried to start an argument, I called bullshit.

    Get your facts straight or stuff it.

  • This score simply put is generic. It is biblically epic and elevates the film on a generic level. It also highlights the importance score has in the film medium.

  • I agree. It is also Horner's finest theatrical work, even now, in my opinion. (Through Braveheart is close).

  • I didn't realise until you said, that Braveheart music was done by James Horner.

  • What an amazing Score. Classic Horner at his best. 5 stars.

  • A truly EPIC film and score,

  • Yes!!

  • I know, I know. What a dipsh*t.

  • Yes... trying to keep people from trashing a great composers song is "dipsh*T"

    Pfft

  • pdynamics: see what I mean about chronic 1? He continues to provoke this even tho nobody is talking to him. Unbelievable.

  • Sorry... but I called BS on the folks trying to turn this into a Star Wars versus Star Trek argument.

    Why does that bother you??

  • Great!

    So glad the little star wars kids have gone...........

  • nama irama ini he-batttt !!!!

  • There's a quality to this music that reminds me very much of William's Star Wars scores. Both men I would consider among the best in the business.

  • Comment removed

  • Ah, Horner's finest score.

  • So, you defend trolling?

    This video is about Star Trek music, in particular, the closing theme to TWOK.

    Someone tried to make it, instead, into a SW v ST argument.

    I called bullshit, and rightfully so.

    Keep on dreaming, kid.

  • Lovely music - sad about comments made by others - GET A LIFE!

  • all028, here are some observations:

    1. frnksng asks the question why did Chronic 1 bother wasting 5 seconds responding and there is no answer

    2. Chronic 1 is really stretching it when he denies stating it was a "waste of time." Bullshit

    3. Chronic 1 tells me "everyone else understands" him and I challenge that. No answer

    Chronic 1 is a bullshiting. Don't waste your time.

  • Ya, you're right man. Chronic 1 is really stretching the truth when he denies stating "it was a waste of time." What a bullshitter....

  • And that's where you are wrong. Just because I asked the Star wars vs Star Trek question doesn't mean it has to be an arguement. If you look back, there were several people who answered and no debate came out of it.

    It only became an arguement with you...

  • Oh well, not agreeing with me doesn't make you right. ;-)

  • pdynamics1, don't bother. ChronicOne is stupid. Nobody is talking about Star wars vs Star trek; yet, he goes on and on about how we care which one is better. All of us agree it is ChronicOne's lack of response to your question "If he doesn't care, then why did he bother responding to which one was better?"

  • Bullshit.

    You say no one is talking about it yet the FIRST comment was "which is better, Star Trek or Star Wars."

    Dumbass......

    And I already answered the other, dumbass, I said I DON'T care which is better. All I did was make the comment "Who cares"

    You need to work on your reading comprehension.

  • I already answered your point in that the conversation STARTS when you respond since the question was not directed at you...Nobody knew you existed until you responded.

    LOL! You lost this conversation, pal. Nobody here agrees with you.

  • Sorry, but the coversation started with "Which is better, Star Trek or Star Wars?" which was NOT a comment made by me.

    Try again.

  • LOL! Give it up, man. Nobody here agrees with you.

  • Well, there's your problem, right there.

    I didn't start this conversation.

  • YOU FINALLY understand what all of us are saying. The better thing to say is "If you don't care, then why did you bother RESPONDING to all028's question if you don't give a shit."

  • Finally understand you? Nope.

    You make less sense as you go. LOL

    You said I started this conversation. I say no I didn't. So to that, you say, YOU FINALLY UNDERSTAND! I finally understand I didn't start this conversation? No, I knew that all along.

  • 1. I said "FINALLY understand US." Three of us were saying the same thing except you

    2. I noticed you never responded to the question "If you don't care, then why did you bother responding to the question." Typically, if I don't care about something, I just ignore it....

  • 1. You still don't make sense.

    2. I DIDN'T respond to the question. I don't CARE which is better.. for some reason, that pisses you all off. LOL!!! LOL

  • again you got it wrong. What pisses me off is you are making absolutely no sense...it has nothing to do which is better.

    Anyways, this is going nowhere...goodbye

  • I'm sorry the fact that I don't think arguing about Star Trek vs. Star Wars is anything but a waste of time pisses you off.

    And what's not to understand about that? Everyone else seems to understand.. LOL

  • 1. holy fuk...I will break my own rule and EXPLAIN it again. What pisses me off is you are not LISTENING and therefore, your response makes no sense.

    2. You say "Everyone else seems to understand." Who? all028 and frnksng have never agreed with you

  • I never was pissed off. I was just explaining to you what they were saying...

  • Yes, at least you are being reasonable.

    This other dude just can't seem to understand that I think arguing about Star Trek V. Star Wars is stupid.

    PD says I'm not listening... listening to what? You're not saying anything, PD..... LOL You keep talking but you never say anything.

  • all028 was NOT arguing about star trek vs star wars. He said YOU started the conversation since you responded to the question. The conversation starts when you respond since the question was not directed at you

    pdynamics1 was saying that if you didn't care, then why respond? It makes no sense

  • My comment wasn't directed at pd, it was a statement. When the first person replied with insults, THAT was when all this got started. Don't believe me? Go back and look.

  • Oh, I believe you. I've been following this since the beginning. Where I don't agree with you is the conversation STARTS when you respond to all028 with "who gives a shit"

    The statement was NOT directed at pd like you said. But that doesn't change the fact that you were talking about Star trek vs star wars while he was asking "If you didn't care, then why respond?"

  • I responded because I liked the music.

    The question is rhetorical as I think arguing Star Trek vs. Star Wars is childish and a waste of time!

    This video is about Star Trek and it's music, not Star Wars v. Star Trek. When I see someone trying to start that lame flame bait argument in this thread I decided to comment on it. Big deal, if you like the fact that ol' boy wants to start a flame war in here.. so be it. I think it's just petty.

  • It is clear you think its a waste of time. But, typically, if I don't care about something, I just ignore it. By responding, it shows that you do CARE and you did START the conversation. That's the contradiction and that's why they are trying to say....

  • Nope, I don't care which is better.

    I think it's stupid.

    I said I liked the music and the "question" was rhetorical. When I ask "Who cares?" that it NO way indicates that I DO.

  • Sorry man, but you DID contradict yourself whether you intended to do so or not. I think you got the point now. I agree with all028 and pd....

  • I never contradicted myself. I still maintain that it is stupid to argue Star Trek vs. Star Wars.

    I never swayed from this.

    I appreciate you being cordial, unlike the other guy, however.

  • The contradiction is not on Star trek vs Star wars. The contradiction is a response to something you feel is a waste of time. For example, why did you even WASTE 5 seconds responding when it's a waste of time to begin with

  • I never said it was a waste of time arguing whether or not Star Trek Vs Star Wars is a waste of time... I said that the argument of Star Wars vs Star Trek itself is a waste of time.

    Work on your reading comprehension my friend....

  • Actually you did. Here it is: "I'm sorry the fact that I don't think arguing about Star Trek vs. Star Wars is anything but a waste of time pisses you off."

  • You should work on your reading comprehension. frnksng quotes you directly

  • Indeed.

    However, to your chagrin, the quote supports my argument and not yours.

  • What the hell are you talking about?!? You say you did not say it but frnksng quotes you directly. In fact, I'd say you owe frnksng an apology since you told him to work on his reading comprehension.

  • Wrong again.

    Read slowly this time: I....NEVER....SAID...THAT....A­RGUING...WHETHER...OR....NOT..­..STAR....TREK.....VERSUS...ST­AR....WARS....WAS... A...WASTE....OF....TIME.

    I *DID* Say that the ....ACTUAL ARGUMENT ITSELF.... of Star Trek versus Star Wars was a waste of time.

  • So why did you bother wasting 5 seconds responding as frnksng asks? Did it not provoke all of this?

  • Nope.

    Someone trolling and trying to spark a Star Wars versus Star Trek argument in a place that it's not for started this.

  • Yes, I threw out the question but I never directed it at you. In fact, I never knew you existed until now. Therefore, the conversation STARTS when you respond.

    You didn't have to respond if you didn't care like pdynamics1 said

  • Why does pdynamics1 say "you make no sense?" READ what he says. You don't see the point...

  • LOL!  You guys are the ones that care about stupid shit like this. I just like the music. Ya'll should get out more.

  • You make no sense.

  • Of course ChronicOne makes no sense. He's stupid....

  • I'm stupid?! LOL!!! You're the child that gives a crap what fake stuff is better than the other fake stuff.

    Grown folks don't care. They know what they like.

  • Sorry, man but they are right.

  • OK, so I say that both Star Wars and Star Trek are cool and that it is pointless to argue which is better... and I am wrong?

    LOL!! Whatever!

  • This is what pdynamics1 said and is his point: "Dude you are the one who said who gives a shit. If you don't care, then why did you start this conversation?"

  • Which one is better: Star wars or Star Trek?

  • cant compare its like comparing a woman with a man just doesn't work ones more fantasy the other very science fiction

  • I'm talking about the music.

  • star trek

  • Who gives a shit?

    This music rocks. Star Trek rocks.

  • It's just a question....take your medication, pal.

  • A really stupid question.

    Nerds and idiots have argued it round and round for years. People with common sense don't give a rats ass "which is better" they know what they like and like what they know.

  • Oh,my god...I can't believe your getting so upset over this. all028 is right.  Take your medication and get a life.

  • Thanks for your support pdynamics1.  I've never seen someone get so pissed off over a question. Unbelievable.

  • LOL! You guys are the ones getting upset.

    I don't give a shit!

    Find a clue... haha!

  • Dude, you are the one who said "Who gives a shit!  A really stupid question"

    Sorry, man but you're making no sense...if you didn't care, then why did you even bother starting this conversation.

  • Ok, ok...I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.

  • LOL!

  • You guys might give a rats ass what you think is better, Star Trek or Star Wars, but *I* don't.

    Keep wasting your time.

    Star Trek is awesome. Star Wars is awesome.

  • Look, I understand your feelings are hurt by this question. Relax just like frnksng says. Don't be upset...

  • relax, man.

  • This really is great film music. Classic stuff.

  • I love the wonder and excitement in this music.

  • Funny how this was when Horner was considered an untested movie scorerer. After this and Glory, he's basically put himself as one of the best at his job now.

  • And now he just seems to repeat himself to the point that it's sad. After Bravehart he simply would write variations on that amazing score.

  • BAD

    ASS!!!!!!!!!

  • james horner was better with star trek then that shit titaic film.

  • Best Star Trek movie ever!

  • really love this movie + the music too ^_^

  • were it not for this movie star trek would be dead.

  • this movie is best when you watch TOS episode Space Seed and AFTER you look wrath it just enhance the experiance...

  • haha that's exactly what i did!

  • MASTERPIECE. MASTERPIECE.

  • Agree completely, the best of all of them, music and story wise

  • Likewise.  Best movie, best story and best music.

  • Still prefer Goldsmith's score for ST TMP even if it is for a slow moving, non-action, rather cerebral film and Horner's score is for a far more exciting and emotional film. Goldsmith's score is more science fiction and Horner's is more heroic naval in style. Horner is obviously very talented, but does have the habit of repeating elements of his previous socres and he does owe a debt to Goldsmith. Would have loved if Goldsmith had been retained for Aliens & STII, but Horner did great work.

  • i always liked to hear the similarities in composers' different works. Wrath of Khan vs. Aliens and things like Predator vs.Van Helsing

  • Horner's star trek music is a symphonic master piece. I can't wait to see what he has in store for james camerons avatar.

  • thielden, I wonder if film composers always do their best work on the first big epic score they're hired for. I'm thinking of Horner's STII, Goldsmith's Wind & Lion and Howard Shores score for The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. It seems sometimes that they put all their energy and imagination into their first big epic scores and some never quite reach the same heights again.....maybe because the results were so good and that they've sort of 'been there/done that'...exceptions exist of course.

  • this sounds like an audio rip off the dvd,however if im wrong sorry.still this is the best star trek music no doubt.

  • HORNER!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Joey Lodes

  • ott oot

  • Comment removed

  • Does anybody know who performed this? It's not the original soundtrack recording... The orchestra is dreadful. Superb piece though! And stop referring to James Horner in the past tense -- he's still alive and still writing film music! :D

  • True he is very much alive and active composing.

    As far as I knew it was the original soundtrack. But I'm not precisely sure from the recording I have uploaded on itunes.

  • awesome, it's like Star Trek, Aliens, Krull and The Abyss all rolled up into one! just kidding though, I love Horner's work.

  • um, Abyss = Alan Silvestri :o)

  • um, did I say it wasn't?

  • James Horner was one of the most brilliant orchestra conductors and this theme proves it.

  • Perfect ... Thank you so much LS !!!

  • Star Trek II's ending orchestral music score remains one of the Best scores overall, I could listen to this Awesome masterpiece indefinitely. Thanks Lucas Spade.

  • No prob. One of my favorites as well.
