Star Trek IX: Insurrection (Opening Music)

[Dezwiger]

don't care if it is the opening or closing theme, I love this music and yes I think it was one of the best films of the series.

[katana2012666]

I concur, Hole heartedly, 100% Jerry Goldsmith nailed it!

[EvilStar109]

That's NOT the opening theme!!! It's the ending!!!

[eere3343]

Oh Jerry Goldsmith you were such a under appreciated musical genius. This has got to be one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard.

[2188los]

great theme...sucky movie.

[TheDaleksareSupreme]

When I watched this and Riker started using the joy stick I was like "What the heck! I didn't know it could do that!"

[tasev1]

@TheDaleksareSupreme That stick they bought at Future Shop - I know - I have one!

[philyburkhill1]

people didn't like this movie because it contradicted the tv show

remember the episode with the indians? and the ba'ku were a lot more unreasonable than them. you have to remember that there were millions dying in the war with the dominion and this planet could've acted as a resting place.

[marcosdosh]

THERE....ARE....FOUR.....DISLI­KES!

[jimbopumbapigsticks]

For me, the joystick moment along with Riker's "We're through running from these bastards" were just laugh-out-loud dumb. HOWEVER, good music (as always), good scenery, and we get to see Patrick Stewart kicking ass. Story was a bit weak, but what you gonna do. . .

[arieas]

Seen the rebooted Star Trek, still prefer the original Star Trek's though. I really think they could easily do a series in the original universe, set it a bit further in the future. As it'd be unlikely to have any original crews, just bring back characters from the past, like as was done in Voyager and Ds9. Go back to its roots, they would likely be exploring beyond the alpha quadrant now, huge premise for stories. Shorter seasons, bigger budget per episode, especially for music just like this.

[cupcupdrinks]

I love how the beautiful Ba'ku theme in the middle completely sucks you in, almost to the point where you forget you're listening to a Star Trek score. But then the classic march kicks back in and you're like- OH YEAH! Then you rock out.

[SR71ABCD]

Best sci-fi film in this Universe!

[killianseraphim]

@SR71ABCD Best sci-fi series in this Universe

[DathanielTDK]

Of all the TNG movies they did, Insurrection was probably my favorite. I liked it even more than I liked First Contact though both were great. I cannot express in words how utterly disappointed I was when they made that piece of crap Nemisis after this. After Picard lost his family in Generation they had a perfect set up for him and Anij to start one of their own. So damn disgraceful that they did things the way they did.

[AnteyPL]

@DathanielTDK

I think Nemesis had greatest potential (Romulans are quite an interesting race after all) but it failed miserably in scope, arc, writing...

[sebastianvader]

It's the end credits actually

[micahrockshard]

I love next generation and every crewmember, all these movies were fantastic,and the music was even better. I had a gripe or two here and there but all the movies were really good.

[forrestorocks]

THis and generations weren't that bad at all. I wouldn't consider them the best of all the movies but it wasn't bad. Movie wise bad, but if you like Star Trek, especially TNG then you should like the movie.

[AIRANORAK]

All STAR TREK movies are just GREAT

[SchwarzeWitwe2]

@AIRANORAK You CLEARLY have not seen number 5.

[NevadaWrangler]

@SchwarzeWitwe2 I respectfully disagree with you about number 5. It may be the weakest of the franchise, but it's still a pretty good movie, the special effects suffered yes, actually they sucked, the previous movies had better, and of course the later ones did, but the relationships within the crew and the theme of the story were very good.

[ColonialFleetAdmiral]

@NevadaWrangler Insurrection was pretty good because it was about protecting a small group of people who couldn't defend themselves. Which is what the military is for. The wonder of this unique little world and it's miracles also made it the most 'Trek'-like of the TNG films. Gene Roddenbery would've like it I think.

[LordDavid04]

@NevadaWrangler Star Trek V: The Final Frontier sucked not only because of effects It sucked for reasons such as the fact that Shatner's big ego got in the way when he directed it, the writers' strike that severely cut preproduction as well as thin out the script. Paramount's insistence for a light hearted movie, the poor attempts on adding comedy in what should have been a mainly dramatic film to begin with and perhaps most importantly, the fact that Spock has a so called half brother in Sybok.

[TK42138]

@LordDavid04

I remember the disappointment I felt seeing Star Trek V The Final Frontier at the cinema. When I saw the shuttle docking sequence I thought damn - these effects suck. It was downhill from then on. In fact I refuse to accept that Final Frontier is in the franchise as it looks just too cheap and cobbled together. Listen out for the James Brown sound effect when Kirk fights that cat creature.

[Tmartin1438]

it wasnt a bad movie, it just felt like an extended episode, was not really anything movieworthy

[mrnail63]

@Tmartin1438 This might be your opinion and you are entitled to it. And yet I strongly disagree about the last five words.

[OneOfThoseVideoMaker]

I saw this movie just about a week ago, and really don't understand people whom think this movie is, for example, "the shittest of the Trek movies". I think this was a great movie, great plot, great acting and, but of course, intense music.

[AirelonTrading]

I dont know how people can call themselves Star Trek fans and not like this movie.

The theme of "the undying" and truly beautiful societies and the vampires they attracts is a theme as old as Star Trek's original series (numerous episodes)

[micahrockshard]

@AirelonTrading yeah u cant be a star trek fan and not love all these movies ,this one in particular was a great movie, The music was truly phenomenal, jerry goldsmith 2 this day and always will be one of the greatest composers

[ni1337]

IMO, the shittest of the Trek movies (disregarding final frontier), but one of the best musical scores.

Goldsmith is a god

[Pilkingtube]

@ni1337 I thought star trek V was the worst, but there you go :S

[Ashenion22]

Seems like every new Trek movie, the main theme (right from the beginning) is better than ever!

[Trixaone]

But its the end credits Theme, not the opening!

[janhammerrules]

JERRY GOLDSMITH..........MAKE IT SO!

[BevilTex]

this music is the best part of the film in my opinion. Respect to a great composer!

[Desicionoflife]

I'd so love if they'd make another TNG like series, with all of the same characters, in the Enterprise-E :D

[cole003f]

id love to see another movie based on star trek next generation

[neoprankster]

@cole003f Me too.

[jayce79]

Awesome Track. Jerry Goldsmith gave us some great music before he left us.

[raphie2000]

It get my personal Award for best music in a motion picture.

[janhammerrules]

Jerry...MAKE IT SO!

[TheHumanAdventure]

This isn't the opening music, unless you mean the opening to the credits.

[557011]

red alert!

[R8erNation636]

Vegeta, what does the scouter say about Insurrection's lameness level?

IT'S OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND!

[moncononight]

@R8erNation636 LOL wtf!?

[indianajoneszilla]

I am just realizing that this is the first TNG movie to ACTUALLY use the TNG and Motion Picture theme.

[sondano]

@indianajoneszilla No First Contact end credits also included TMP theme

[ElisaLuigia]

The best opening ever!

[peterdepeer]

2.13 - 2.25 is a hart breaking moment.

It gives me the same as listing to Mozart's Flute & Harp Concerto (2nd movement)

[jayce79]

This is the end credits , not the openinng.

[fdymom]

@jayce79 correct +1

[SwanCat63]

Thanks for adding this! Anything Star Trek with the TNG characters is always a pleasure. I loved them all. What great hopes for a future like this. Appreciated so much!!

[SR71ABCD]

This is not the opening music this is the ending music becuase i can hear the Enterprise moving away.

[explorer47422]

I do love the music, was very different to any of the other movies, very relaxing, and deffinately had some worth while parts with a very strong morale if you thought about it, fav line: - "how many does it take? 10? 100? 1,000,000? well? HOW MANY DOES IT TAKE ADMIRAL??"

[80smusicfanNO1]

That line was dumb, I agreed completely with Starfleet Command and Picard had previously assisted in moving a people off a planet forcefully in a season 7 episode.

[crystallinentity]

@80smusicfanNO1 I think i know the one you're talking about. As I recall it was either that or go to war with Cardassia. They claimed the planet, not us. That's quite a different situation.

[LoriCiani]

I own 10 Star Trek movies on DVD so far. This is not my favourite as in I don't watch it as much as some of the other movies, but there are good scenes and the music is good. I've only ever watched the Nemesis DVD once and that was enough. Let's just say, it's in my collection to make up the numbers and for no other reason. Star Trek XI is on my Christmas wish list.

[evrbody]

I've only seen Insurrection once so I'm not one to heavily critique it, but I found it to be a rather forgettable movie.

[KainBenwi]

I really enjoy this movie (as I do with all Star Trek films) and its probably the Star Trek movie I´ve seen most times actually. It´s so easy and enjoyable to watch. The music is awsome!

[LivesForJihad]

This movie sucked.

[farmer1221]

you suck you fucking shitard the any star trek movie tv show or cartoon has a way of getting fan in a good mood if you don't like it then fuck off and go fuck you mom you fucking alcada raghead sand nigger

[ViciousTeddyBear09]

you suck. Especially your name. Terrorist

[JoshuaH688]

I know that it isn't the most flashy, but for me Insurrection ranks among my favorites, if not exclusively, among the Trek films. The setting is beautiful, the music is serene, and the message is true to Star Trek; relevant and powerful. Overall, I appreciate all ten of the ST films. #11 I enjoyed when I saw it in the theater, but I will confess that I was blinded to some of the things which I dislike about it in retrospection at the time by the joy of seeing Trek back on the big screen.

[babalubro3]

I agree with JoshuaH688.

[tasev1]

I never understood why Insurrection had bad reviews. Sure there were silly moments, and my first impression seemed too series-like for the big screen, BUT! I still liked the movie. Good music, good humour, good story. I especially loved the beautiful scenery! (obviously to compete with Lord of the Rings release at the time). This film started to imply that the cast is getting old, and we were going back to younger times.

P.S. That joystick Riker uses - its a Logitech joystick and I own one!

[PrinceOfDahaka]

your a bit early for lotr. this came out in 1998, but i do agree with you. but it's not just the critics how don't like it. Jonathon Frakes, the director, doesn't like it that much. He blames a poor script.

[RudikRus1]

Why didn't he reject the scripts or tell the writers to come up with a better one?

[80smusicfanNO1]

Rick Berman is a moron, its the reason why prosaic shit like this and Generations got through the net. There is not any good quality control.

[TheYahara]

That's why I was glad when I got to know he wouldnt have been writing Nemesis.

[orionpirates]

@tasev1 What the hell are you talking about? The first Lord of the Rings movie came out in 2001. Insurrection came out in 1998.

[rich1701]

I'm a trekkie and i dont think Insurrection was a great film. It would of been a brilliant 2 part episode in the series because you are right it is a good trek story but it simply did not translate well to the big screen IMO.

[sondano]

@ChaationBergin I agree with you completely but I would add that college-student Kirk is not like Kirk and not attractive at all. He is a total bore. A cliche. Shatner and Stewart were and are absolutely unique. Like Nimoy Takei Spiner Dorn etc. People like that make Star Trek first rate and unforgettable. The characters who are played by just the right actors

[soystuff1195]

@ChaationBergin I agree 100%. I love Insurrection.

[Idazmi7]

@ChaationBergin Well said.

[80smusicfanNO1]

@ChaationBergin

What the fuck are you talking about. "Insurrection" was horrible, lots of *real* Star Trek fans think so. None of Picard's decisions or reasons made any sense, even the writer didnt like it/

[ChaationBergin]

@80smusicfanNO1 Seeing this comment: You're absolutely correct, and I retract that statement. Granted, it was two years ago and my opinions have since then changed, but it seems like I was ingesting some pretty fucking weird stuff to write an opinion like that. It's testament to the stupidity of the interwebs that that got as high as it did, and I applaud you for calling bullshit. 

[a1d2a3m5]

every star trek movir is better than the privious it seems like.

[a1d2a3m5]

personaly i think that goredy dosent look normal with out his visor

[coker10]

Think Baku Village fits Lt. Cmdr Data--yaaah!

[dragonyeuw]

The part from 1:50 was the opening theme for Insurrection (beautiful melody btw), the main Trek theme didn't show up till the ending credits.

[Galaxy73013]

The song is from the end of the film, not the beginning. Is it?

[dondonp12004]

Indeed.

[ash160]

the song that starts at 1:49, think its called "baku village" any who... is it just me or is the song too beautifull for words?

[monteron007]

agreed

[kaching012]

i also agree, i tried commenting on it but no words (english,german) reach the beauty of this melody.

does someone know similar music?

[a1d2a3m5]

i dont know about you but im a star trek fan for life

[MegamanNG]

So am I. My favorite Trek movies are Search for Spock, The Voyage Home, Generations and First Contact. I like Insurrection because of the music.

[Usul573]

Generations was eh

[Csanjedi]

This is my favorite trek theme. Very deep indeed. I miss Jerry Goldsmith, he gave trek a perspective. The new movie has practically no theme. Bland.

[bigmacintn]

BLAND??? Have you no taste? XI is the best theme since STTMP! A great blending of old and new with the possibilities for a whole new generation! And this coming from an original TOS fan.

[ady234]

this music is better

[UnOxonien]

Agreed, music is better, but the new film is exactly what Star Trek needed. Utterly satisfying. All the nay-sayers need to be content they even made a film after the previous producers drove its popularity into the ground.

[4642eb]

The movie was great, but the music wasn't up to par... it needed an infusion of Goldsmith's theme.

[arutledg]

You should have written ST:TMP

[pbanta62]

The "odd number" Treks did seem a notch below the "even number" ones in quality--except the music of course. Goldsmith/Horner were a great team on the Trek movies and Edelman's Valkyrie-esque theme for VI seemed appropriate for the movie's theme as well.

[MegamanNG]

The music will always be the best.

[Endlessriver25]

Its not actually the opening music is it? Its the ending :)

[Sabin06]

yup this song is at the end its not the opening. I love the part at 1:49 its a beautiful part of this theme song

[bmused55]

Ah Jerry Goldsmith, you are missed.

[maggytec]

@bmused55 very very much!

[80smusicfanNO1]

Lovely of course but could you possibly gotten lower resolution pictures?

[heipanhei]

La musica es espectacular.

[genesis199125]

isnt this the ending music?

[brassbender]

yes, it is

[mec441]

The violins from 3:11 to 3:45 is some of the most beautiful music I have ever heard. The first time I heard it, sitting in the theatre, I had tears coming down my cheeks. Jerry Goldsmith was incredible as was his music.

[80smusicfanNO1]

Are you sure you weren't crying because you had just sat threw one of the dullest Star Trek films ever?

[ZipBalloon]

RIP Jerry Goldsmith - Let his music play on forever!

[chaoz44]

he died?

[yamamato44]

yes in 2004

[Pdarksy]

Very few pieces, touch my inner soul like this one.

[Vidarts]

One of the most beautiful music scores written for cinema.

It makes you wish for the paradise but also shows that paradise holds the germ for indefinite cruelty human kind is capable of ... :(

[micahrockshard]

man jerry sure knew his music and sure loved star trek ,may he rest in peace and love, this soundtrack still blows my mind every time and is as good as first contact if not better.i wish someone would put the end theme from first contact though.

[dafmurray]

The end credit music for Star Trek First Contact is available on You Tube

[Jurassic343]

man thats an awesome soundtrack!!!!!!!!!

[bigholeproductions]

1:48 is the song we are playing for our ballad in my marching band. It's so beautiful.

[DrZoid99]

As the Music suggests we need to slow our lived down, and just live it, doing what we love. that's the ticket for a peaceful tomorrow.

[gregsveiw]

if we could be only half human as this music imposes us to be.

[waddleduckie1]

This is the most memorable music ever composed by Jerry Goldsmith.

[horaciosi]

you are right, but still much slower than the original series

[sullaofroma]

most underrated music of any trek. Even better than first contact.

[Pdarksy]

Agree fully with you, superb music, love it, whos is it jerry goldsmith i think.

[darky5k1987]

It is Goldsmith

[zaphodc]

It helps a little that his arranger wrote some of this music - Alexander "Sandy" Courage, who wrote the theme music from TOS used here.

[valkyrie1944]

Wonderful music - best in the franchise. And Donna Murphy was.....wow

[nathanzhang]

some of the scenes are from Star Trek: First Contact
