Editorial Reviews

Composer Michael Giacchino (Alias, Lost, Mission: Impossible 3), no stranger to the hyper-adrenalized worlds conjured by director J.J. Abrams, decided to "boldly go where no man has gone before" for the 2009 reboot of one of the most beloved science fiction franchises in history. To be fair, Giacchino's wildly heroic re-imagining of the Star Trek universe cribs the occasional motif from Jerry Goldsmith's original score (the end credits majestically weave in the original Alexander Courage-penned television theme), but it's more of a tip of the hat than an act of submission. Like any sci-fi score worth its weight in collapsing stars, the 11th big-screen voyage of the Starship Enterprise is propelled by bold, brass-led melodies that echo the heydays of the great Hollywood Westerns, and Giacchino has crafted a memorable, classic (in the silver screen sense) rendering of that pioneering spirit. Stoic, regal, and undeniably fun, Giacchino's Star Trek is a worthy successor to one of the great space opera themes of the 20th century. Reverend Lee Power, All Music Guide

A must for anyone who enjoyed this movie!by Anonymous

August 15, 2009: I saw Star Trek three times, and have most of the soundtracks from their 11 movies. This soundtrack evokes many fond memories of the new movie, and makes me eager for the day when the film is available on DVD. Even the quirky names of the tracks symbolize how this Star Trek is more "cutting edge" than those that came before it. Even my kids (8 & 2) enjoy the music. Purchasing this soundtrack is the next logical step for anyone who wants more Trek!

I Also Recommend: Star Trek: First Contact, The Best of Star Trek: Original Film Scores, Star Trek: The Motion Picture [20th Anniversary Collectors Edition], Batman: Gotham Knight, Star Wars Trilogy [6 Disc].

July 04, 2009: I am a soundtrack junkie and was so impressed by the music that I immediately went to purchase the cd when I left the movie theater. After searching desperately I found the last copy at the local B&N store. THANK GOD! The musicianship and style variety from smooth to harsh makes you feel like your right there next to Capt. Kirk or least wish you could be anyway. It makes you ready to fight the good fight. EXCELLENT MUSIC!!! I've already recommended it to everyone I know and hope that one day, as a brass player, I will get the joy getting to play the music myself.
