Star Trek The Search for Spock (Tribute to James Horner) PART 3

[kellye38]

The music is awesome!!!! Perfect for Star Trek. And even better while Sulu backs her right out the door!!!! The Search for Spock is my favorite original Star Trek movie

[ajgoodwinaviation]

Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan

Star Trek III: The Search For Spock

Titanic

JAMES HORNER ROCKS!!!!!!!!

[thpjhr2]

The beggining strings are copied directly from Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet, Act 1, scenes 6 and 7 (the fight). I love this piece, but I bet James Horner was looking for an excuse to steal that one

[SGTBizarro]

The trumpets at 7:19 ... for the love of god, that is just awesome.

[Strefanasha]

interesting!! the first 20 seconds have a very very close resemblance to the ballet music from Prokofiev's ballet Romeo and Juliet - only with the violin scrambling even faster.

Great minds thinking alike

[CaptainJahangir99]

This is probably one of the best film scores of all time, twok comes second, especially the part when the legendary kirk goes warp speed! I never understood why he didn't get nominated for any awards for his ST scores?

[Herbarius]

anyone has a idea what that thing is that Captain Styles grabs at 4:34?

He still carries it with him when he gets to the bridge...

[Locutus76]

@Herbarius : it looks uncannily like a cattle prod. See the image on the wiki-page cattle_prod

[Herbarius]

@Locutus76 lol, to use it on his crew? if so, maybe he is related to Janeway somehow... ;)

anyone else has other ideas what it might be? I'm talking about the thing that Styles grabs at around 4:34 and takes up to the bridge...

[cqdealer711]

I must have seen this movie a hundred times. You notice the music somewhat, but this video without the words and only the music, shows what a genius James Horner is.

[espartar63]

Awesome movie.James Horner rest in peace,

[NS6677]

@espartar63 I think you mean Jerry Goldsmith Sir

[proclivity11]

@espartar63 He isn't dead.

[virtualpilot31]

2 dislikes wow!

[timefilm]

@virtualpilot31 it takes a balanced mind to enjoy these vids. they are in fact disliking themselves

[Cpnowys1awsome]

@virtualpilot31 3

[XtraonionsonmyPizza]

At 3:56...never had a spectecular "one quarter impulse" again..... GOOSEBUMPS

[PaulGrantDesigns]

James T Kirk. Not a strong candidate for taking that early retirement package.

[virtualpilot31]

@PaulGrantDesigns

Got that right!

[PaulGrantDesigns]

You know you're a geek when you can sit here watching this without words, yet still easily lip reading every word in your head.

[Yewon2001]

OMG star trek III was one of the best in the franchise...

[bluworm]

The glorious epicness of 1980's movie music! Never shall we hear its equal again.

[Johnrl21]

GOOD MORNING CAPTAIN  OWNED

[romeonarcizo]

4:37....I think is one of the best scores in star trek saga!!!!

[LovingScrubbies]

The dopey collar Chekov wears disappears in the next scenes.

[1peachyboy]

Absolutely love scottys facial expression as kirk issues the warp speed order, right after hes warned hel be demoted. This scene sums up everything thats sacred about Star Trek-a chemistry among characters and, in turn, actors that can only be achieved by working together for 40 years. I fear the new crop will struggle to attain this cameradery. In a strange way that gives me comfort.

[nonamebrand0]

Christopher Lloyd and James Horner are what make Star Trek 3 a good Trek film.

[Atombombstudios]

if only women were nerdy!

[timefilm]

@Atombombstudios thats right, because as we all know, women can not be nerds, they are all princesses who care not for such silly things

[LovingScrubbies]

@timefilm

It takes a nerd to believe women are princesses.

[lailinshale]

@Atombombstudios Oh, yes, we are nerdy ;D the good ones, anyway. You must not be looking in the right places.

[VainEldritch]

@Atombombstudios That bird I banged at LARP was nerdy as hell. Not at all shy though... :)

[virtualpilot31]

This entire section was great! I love this part of the movie. Just really fills me with excitment! Kirk saying "The answer is no we are therefore going anyway."

It always makes me ask "Would take this risk!

[lbrinin1701]

I always wonder when I see this, if Scotty could open the space doors why couldn't he close them again after Enterprise clears space dock??

[roaminggator]

"He orders you to Suwender this Wessell..."

[oneinsixcom]

I've been to a Trek 1,2,3 in 1984. I believe I did the same for the 4th or 5th movie.

Anyway I did the Star Wars (sacrilege!) 1 to 6 in 2005 at the Empire and shook hands with mr Lucas. Plus many other SW marathons in the past.

Red Bull Helps and they gave them away free at the SW 1-6 marathon.

[LoriCiani]

Ever been to a Star Trek All Night Marathon in a cinema? I have, I watched from the first movie to Star Trek - The Undiscovered Country. It was fantastic, lots of fellow trekkies emerged the next afternoon blinking at the sunlight, tired but happily Treked out. If there's one thing I'd love to do before I shuck off this mortal coil, it would be to organise a Trek Marathon for charity at a good cinema. How many films can you watch at one go without falling asleep? ; )

[timefilm]

@LoriCiani I have... and it was wonderful. Truth be told i was pretty treked out by number 4 and by the end of 6 i was well over it... but I'd do it again :)

[Wynstorm3]

@timefilm I have done that at least three times to, what was then, all eight movies. Never batted an eye until the dang near very end!

[SJHFoto]

@timefilm Not in cinema, but back when Star Trek VI first came out on VHS, we had an all-night Trek party where we watched the 6 films. Pizza, Root Beer and Star Trek-it doesn't get any better than that for me and my friends back then!

[JediMasterHorton]

@SJHFoto

Lucky Bastard

[SJHFoto]

@JediMasterHorton Please refrain from using vulgar language when replying to my comments

[JediMasterHorton]

@SJHFoto

Sorry, i'll rephrase, lucky man.

[SJHFoto]

@JediMasterHorton Thank you for that.

[JediMasterHorton]

@LoriCiani

i've always wanted to do that i could watch all 11 without going to sleep

[vp21ct]

@LoriCiani You Skipped 5, right?

[LoriCiani]

@vp21ct ...Let's say...I took cat naps during that one. Well, by that point the matchstick eyelid supports kept failing and the caffine feed had lost it's buzz. : D

[vp21ct]

@LoriCiani The Good news is, if you nap through 5, 6 will wake you up with the destruction of Praxis! XD

[SuperLUKEISBACK]

@LoriCiani let me know if you ever manage to pull that off. it sounds great fun

[cdm1701]

Many Thanks, This is the best of the score!

[macdablack]

Trouble with this track is that it's incidious. Fed's aren't incidious. We're "bettering the community".

-That's the way Archer did it, that's the way Pike did it, and it's worked out well so far.

[timefilm]

@macdablack lol

[macdablack]

Don't mess with this Mothergucker, Motherfucker! - "I'm "J"ames "T" Kirk!

[GSYBE631]

0:03 to 0:24 is why professional violinists get paid the big bucks. Listen to 'em go! Makes my fingers hurt just listening to it.

[EmpireLS56KW]

Look for videos on youtube under Empire Leicester Square laser show or visit Freds channel fp70e hes the former projectionist of UCI and has some fine videos

The THX laser show video is must rare one when sitting in at Empire 20 years ago that sadly was retired around late 1990s some say it broke down and was too costly to replace the cold laser machine.

[JediMasterHorton]

i'll bet you enjoyed it seeing the enterprise being stolen

[EmpireLS56KW]

Enough to still remember it from 20 years agothis was like benchmark JBL THX certification that was not even second to none, there wasnt another single large cinema in the UK at the time that, could even equal the Empire.

[EmpireLS56KW]

Another thing, Im still tripping of the Dolby mix on Bluray today its as close to the 70mm Dolby experience 20 years ago. I urge most of you kiddies if you see Star Trek playing in 70mm at special showing thou very rare today, Id beam your butts over there at warp speed, especially in a THX certified cinema.

[EmpireLS56KW]

The part were Sulu flips the security guard over, even that came in like a HUGE JOLT SLAM in the Empire that kinder felt real. The music beating deeply at 0:39 was like pumping effect on my body.

[EmpireLS56KW]

The stealing the Enterprise in 70mm THX at the Empire just went nuts fucking sheer total nuts on the bass and sub bass track that pressed into my body and the space dock doors SLAM KICK opening was like the real thing! It sounded so believable. The score following the Enterprise has she backed outwards just SLAMED into my chest and stomach with sharp within the 40Hz range. It was clarity that would beat most home theatre basements many times over.

[timefilm]

@EmpireLS56KW wow, i bet that was awesome!

[EmpireLS56KW]

@timefilm

You have no idea but after seeing Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade in 70mm six-track Dolby stereo SR (SS) JBL THX! I booked a ticket for October 8th 1989 when I saw Star Trek marathon being advertised at the box office after I saw first showing "Last Crusade" which I saw twice second viewing I saw for free because I travailed all the way from Bournemouth to London, plus I was trainee projectionist for UCI at the time.

[EmpireLS56KW]

@timefilm

Ticket only cost £10.00 pounds now you work that out for 5 Star Trek films in not just any THX the THX at the Empire was like seating near to loudspeaker that is playing mildly yet feeling the detail strengths of the frequency response 20 metes back!

[EmpireLS56KW]

Each Star Trek film score at the Empire Leicester Square Star Trek marathon Sunday October 8th 1989 in 70mm got punchier and punchier with wild dynamic range that was full blast octave to octave without lacking any strength just mighty powerful chest thumping clarity that went beyond the lowest rumbling soundtrack. Wow well not forget that JBL 13KW THX 70mm Dolby stereo experience, it was out of this world!

[EmpireLS56KW]

I still have solid 90% memory on how this sounded professionally in Dolby stereo 70mm THX for some odd 20 years and few months. Now then!

[rich1701]

what a contrast to his Avatar score which was at worst lacklustre, at best complimentary. This is absolutely defining.

[katey1dog]

One quarter impulse power.

[EmpireLS56KW]

Warp speed!

Aye sir.

WHOOSH! total kick sub bass JOLT!

[jmm1233]

love the way he makes the scenes seem so comical , you can actually hear it in the effects that he uses to emphasis actions and movements

[Tykell]

6:06 of Horner's Score gives me chills every time but it definitely needs the visual accompaniment.

6:23 is just epic though.

[BlueEyedCubTN]

James Horner is one of the great geniuses of film music. I can always tell his scores because he has a definitive style. Other great film music composers are John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith (RIP), Danny Elfman, Lalo Schifrin, Michael Kamen...I could go on...check these guys out! They all have material on YouTube!

[whitestud1971]

I wish that someone had the full film clip version as well.

[Trek001]

I tip my hat to you. How on earth did you manage to isolate the music?

[timefilm]

It's a pretty involved process..... it's more than just switching a button i can tell you that

[BlueEyedCubTN]

If you own the soundtrack and the movie clip, it's not that difficult with the right program.

[apxstitch]

Horner's ST scores are nothing short of sheer brilliance! LOVE this track, one of his best!

[MavsFan1982]

1:01 - I love that part in the score where Scotty tells the elevator/turbolift: "up your shaft"... LOL

[DaddlerTheDalek]

I Love this Scene!

Captain Styles is Funny! XD

[TheUTubeTeamSucks]

The music for this scene is awesome, as a previous comment said, my fave bit must be the clearing the doors segment too. Builds so brilliantly.

[timefilm]

No, the ship WAS 20 years old in trek 3. the ship in star trek 1 was a re-fit of the old ship, and thus it was all new. it had new nacelles and a fully re-furbished inside. It was to be retired to make way for a more advanced fleet of new ships.

[Agui007]

Soundtracks have got to be some of my favourite pieces of music to listen to.

[Bondek1996]

Though I love the entire track, my favourite bit (maybe of the entire series) is when Enterprise clears the doors...(6.22). Excellent stuff.

[alixcook2k7]

Kirk, you do this and you'll never sit in the Captains chair again.....

...Warp Speed!!!!

[alixcook2k7]

5:40: 

Kirk: Aaaaaaaannnnnnd Now Mr Scott!

Scotty : Uh?

Kirk: The doors Mr Scott....

Scotty: Aye Sir, I'm working on it!!!

This is 8 mins of pure genius :)

[talleyho12]

what software did you use to isoate the music?

[timefilm]

I matched the DVD file with the cd soundtrack wav file.

[gfedtyhfs]

agreed, Horner was an absolute genius with his scores for ST 2 and ST 3; every moment was spot on musically and gave meaning to what was happening on screen!!

[FLAME4564]

hahah XD the look on captain styles's face is priceless b4 the excelsior breaks down XD.

good morning captian XD HAH lawl XD.

[cdm1701]

Wonderful, God Given Score To Him, For Us To Love!

[rob062388]

Plus, the original Enterprise was old when Kirk originally captained it in the original series. It was established that another man (Pike) was captain of the ship for probably at least 5 years if not more. Roddenberry also suggested there was a captain even before HIM. So already the enterprise was older when Kirk first had it, then add the years in between the series and the films (Kirk as captain and then becoming admiral) and the number starts to get up there.

[rob062388]

In fact, you can even look around and see it is suggested that the Enterprise (including its pre-refit days) is far older than 20 years. It may be even closer to 40. The admiral may have used 20 as that had been about the amount of years that passed since the production of the original series and this film. So it's not really clear what exact age the enterprise is at this point but it is likely more than 20 years. Keep in mind that even US navy vessels are designed and built to last MANY years.

[rich1701]

The Refit was significant though, a complete redesign, it was effectively a new ship internally as well as structurally. I think the admiral's suggestion of the ship being 20 years old was effectively meaningless because i don't think any of the original design remained.

[FLAME4564]

heh thats what im sayin lol i mean i if ya look at how old the Prometheus itself is compared to the enteprise and the excelsior lol.

[FLAME4564]

eh didint it also state that Robert April was also in command of original Enteprise b4 Chris Pike and James T Kirk?

[planetiowa]

Robert T. April, the captain before Pike, showed up in an animated adventure...which is NOT canon.

[timefilm]

Actually, the animated series is considered canon. least i heard it was. it was the extra 2 years of the five year mission.

[planetiowa]

No, Roddenberry objected to the animated show being canon, so it isn't. Of course, if something from the cartoon is used in a live action show or movie...then it becomes canon!

[timefilm]

@planetiowa - Well ill tell you something about Roddenberry, rest his soul, the man wanted ALL trek to be like 'the cage' and 'star trek 1'. He wasn't happy with the direction of trek 2 and even had issues with trek 6. He created next gen to get his ideals back. The animated series was produced and written by trek writers and featured original cast voices - to me, it's canon enough in it's own right

[planetiowa]

Gene believed that only he could cast a "Trek" show. As far as canon goes, Roddenberry didn't like things in the animated show, such as the oxygen-providing forcefields. He felt the backward-aging people weren't believable, either.

[bmbell71]

Horner's music is IMO, the best scores out of all the movies. It goes beyond just having a theme song, the music tells a story, and engages you in it as the listener.

[timefilm]

the new music is amazing and i really can't fault it much at all

[FLAME4564]

heh and the officer kirk talked with in spacedock thinks the NCC-1701A is 20 years old lolz i mean does that also mean most of the other versions of the Enteprise (including the ST11 version) are around that age too?

[rob062388]

The NCC-1701A is NOT 20 years old. In fact, it is never mentioned in the films where the ship came from or how old it is, whether it was simply an existing ship that was renamed or an entirely new one. The ship in this film, however, is not technically the A. It is supposed to the be the same ship from the original series that had been "upgraded" so to speak. The A looks like this ship because it was cheaper to reuse the "refitted" model.

[ytmndman]

Since everyone else is doing it - my ST film ranking: 2,6,11,4,8,3,1,7,5,9,10

[timefilm]

now this one i can agree with... however.... you cant watchem in that order.

[MusicalFan1701]

New ranking after having seen 11: 2,8,6,4,3,7,11,10,9,1,5. 11 was not Star Trek. It was full of action and nice special effects that appeal to the general public, but you can only explain away so many inaccuracies with the altered timeline. Leonard Nimoy and the bad guy were good. But Spock's love interest with Uhura? Chekov present from the beginning? Kirk going from academy grad to Captain in 1 movie, leapfrogging Spock, Sulu, Chekov, and Uhura who were already part of the crew? Please!

[mutantenemy66]

You know what ST1 was good a bit slow but it was good, as for ST5 man just get off of Shatner's ass already move on if you know anything about star trek than you would know that it was paramount's fault for cutting Shatner's budget he did not get the help he needed like nimoy did. ILM was busy so Shatner had to use a Lesser special effects team. The Original ST movies were 100% better than the crappy next Generation films. And the next generation had more money to mess with.....

[FLAME4564]

true lolz but the original star trek movies missed out some stuff lolz :) like the ablity for TOS constitutions and possibly TMP to perform saucer seperations like the TNG ships lolz.

[yambo999]

Only James Horner could make one-quarter impulse power so exciting!!

[MusicalFan1701]

The scene in ST6 leaving spacedock at one-quarter impulse power was also scored very well. But I agree Horner can make watching paint dry or water boil exciting.

[joedfd43]

@yambo999 Or even Starbase doors opening!

[MusicalFan1701]

My rank (haven't seen 11 yet): Awesome:2,8,6,4,3. O.K.: 7,10,9. No comment: 1,5.

[timefilm]

Trek 1 is possibly the greatest sci-fi film compared to the likes of '2001' ... but sure it's a dull trek film actioner. as for trek 5. it's really not THAT bad. it's just badly directed and cheaply made. the original script and the novel are amazing!

[MusicalFan1701]

I appreciate your comments. I've seen both 1 & 5 several times. There are things I like about them. 1 is too long and boring - it's just not my taste. 1's soundtrack was excellent. I was really disappointed in 5 - many many mistakes and inconsistencies, and as you know the special effects were not done by ILM (at the time, ILM was the only good choice for a space movie). Also, when you look for God led by some crazy half-brother of Spock who never existed before, and you don't find God...

[jwill5587]

I've always preferred Horner's Star Trek to Goldsmith or Courage. Everyone remembers his stellar work on Khan but his work on III is really underrated. Thank you for posting.

[chopperpilot5]

Will Shatner directed 5

[timefilm]

he also came up with the story

[media567]

Wrath of Khan and Search for Spock has the best themes and scores in the ST history!! God bless James Horner!!

[CalgarSkull]

Awesome love Horners music in almost every film he has done

[kanjimasteryugi]

ROFL 7:42

That's Scotty saying "HA HA HA!!! NO YOU DON'T"

[kahlesstiberius]

1:01 LOL.

i don't need to lipread!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks for the great posting, but!!!

i was looking out for the destruction of the enterprise! but i'll watch this first! thanks again!

and to put it in a nice way...OOP YOR SHAFT!!

R.I.P. James,DeForrest and Gene,

and GO MAJEL!!'nuff said!

[kahlesstiberius]

P.S. forgot to mention, Nichelle..... sand dunes,palm leaves,

that'll stay with me!

[timefilm]

I'm afraid i don't have the score to do it... however i know where you can find it. I'll post to your inbox

[JustAnotherShooter]

6:22, the BEST PART EVER. It just sounds like a defiant/proud "HA HA" to everyone from the Enterprise. I remember, as a little kid, rewinding the VHS dozens of times just to listen to that part. Gives me shivers up me spine.

[talleyho12]

i agree

[Maindrian]

Magical.

[FarbmeisterGeneral]

3:58 sends shivers down my spine. The reversing through the bay doors part is brilliant. Horner is a legend.

[hawkeye77o4]

absolutely amazing! thank you so very much! I hope you keep them coming.

[i4wood]

Wow what can I say, though I prefer Wrath of Khan, this soundtrack still has those Horner elements that make you stand up and listen.. I love your work timefilm... much appreciated...

[joeylodes]

AMAZING!!! Thank you SO much TIMEFILM!! 6:22!!!!! Incredible!!! HORNER!!

Joey Lodes

[timefilm]

I know exactly what you mean!

[pacimage]

I overwhelmingly agree with your opinion on Horner's contribution to this film. Thank you for posting these timefilm! Shows you how much the music can add to the scene!
