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

This is from the first Star Trek film. This piece was played right before the film started in its theatrical run as the overture. It is quite a beautiful piece and very well written, further attesting to the late Jerry Goldsmith's musical talent.

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!

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.

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!

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 :-)

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

@darkram13 I totally agree. :)

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.

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.

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

@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.
