Star Trek The Motion Picture OST Track 1 Ilia's Theme Overture

[krypto91505]

Most cerebral of all the Star Trek films. Very much in the true spirit of science fiction. I think it's a great film.

THE MUSIC OF THIS FILM IS TIMELESS :-)

[notsusan]

the movie isn't perfect, but the music is.

I totally loved the movie from the first time I saw it to the present day. I just don't understand the criticism that it's slow, but then I find more modern films too fast. I felt that at last we had a star trek episode filmed with proper effects and at the proper length and an absolutely perfect soundtrack.

[blizzardballz]

personally I don't care too much for this film. however that does not apply to the entire film. there are some great elements, and even more, the key elements that would set the stage for all Star Trek to come. I belive this movie had a good story concept but it was poorly executed. the theme is what set the standards and aspirations of mostly all sci fi to follow. but for lack of dialogue, character interaction/development, and a 48 hour docking sequence, I found it impossible to sit through.

I'm part of the lot of people who like this film wholeheartedly. The music, the cast, the story-everything. This movie endeared the crew of the Enterprise to me on the big screen! Saw it at the theater in my hometown all those years ago as a young man 12 years old. Strange. I usually don't like the ending of a movie, but with this one, I felt quite complete.

If one song could describe the beuty and wonder of sapce, this would be it.

[dwood37]

God I love this song!!!!!!

[kargaroc386]

Apparently the Voyager theme was reworked from this :)

[dotbots]

No wonder it seemed so familiar! Thanks.

[MASSEFFECTfan101]

This my favorite Star Trek Soundtrack.

And this track is one of my favorite musical pieces. :) Beautiful and inspiring. I can't stop listening to it. :)

[sibeliandrift]

I love Star Trek TMP. It's still my favourite.

[soulkatofficial]

Magical and romantic

cinemas have lost a lot of atmosphere in the last decade

the overture would be one way to get it back

wonderful upload alucard

I always love the rainbow/spectrum in the original poster. It's a shame gays took it as their symbol. I'm not bashin' them. It's just not the same anymore. I see this and the Gil Girard original costume with the spectrum armband and I love it. Shame it's a political/social movement statement now.

@CaptainBuckRogers

Down with fudgepackery...ruining our rainbow.

[MASSEFFECTfan101]

Movies should have overtures again. It gives a classic feel to it. :)

[rnw26l]

The most beautiful score ever!

[BozPictures]

Simply gorgeous.

[ajrnx01]

It makes you feel incredible. I love star trek but I loved the music even more. What a great combination. Thanks Jerry for the best music ever.

[MASSEFFECTfan101]

Beautiful Music.

RIP Jerry Goldsmith.

[tekhnoir]

For me is the best Star Trek movie, and the music is great also.

[nostromo38]

The music was TOO good for this movie.

[eqgmrdbz]

When i watched this movie the first time i couldnt have picked a better time it was friday at midnight , all dark quiet, i wil never forget that moment best way to watch this movie. (or any movie)

[darkram13]

I don't care if you hate the first movie (I like it a lot), but how can anyone hate the MUSIC?

This is a great score!

[alucard624]

I had to rewatch it a few years ago via the Directors Edition, and now enjoy the film a lot more in this incarnation.

The music is excellent, and is IMO the main reason this film is so well remembered.

[darkram13]

Yeah I just had myself an 11-movie "Star Trek" marathon.

I definitely enjoyed the 1st movie a lot more than ever before, probably because this music was so consistently in touch with the story.

[evesira]

long live jerry goldsmith. listen to the background melody the cellos play around 1:05... beautiful

[sirpico123]

@darkram13 think this film went over a lot people heads, the premise is actually very intelligent and for me, its still the best star trek film ever made.

[LovingScrubbies]

@darkram13

TMP and ST4 where the only movies without a super villain.

[clonard]

@darkram13 i agree. a lot of people dislike this flick, but personally i think it has a very epic story line, the effects are excellent, and Goldsmiths score is truly magnificent.

[Majikart]

@darkram13 Agree with you 100%, This is my Favorite Star Trek movie, Jerry Goldsmith did a Wonderful Job, Especially with this piece.

[oortichi1]

@darkram13 I totally agree. :)

[pachanish]

haunting, sublime piece of music...truly one of the finest jerry Goldsmith scores. say, can anyone hear The Voyager series theme echoing in its refrain...? Its there!

[BigRedGummiBear]

@pachanish Voyager? Um, nope. Please don't associate that garbage series with the awesomeness that was TOS. There's a special place set aside in Gre'thor for you.

[SquonkProductions]

One of THE best Jerry Goldsmith scores. And all of the Star Trek films, also IMHO.
