+MsCreepyChan As awesome as this theme is and the TNG theme in general, I have to give it to the intro theme of First Contact. That will never be beaten.
This is the sound of a Saturday morning, no duty to go to, no worries. Walking to the movie theater, sunshine, and a walk-man. This is the sound of letting go of expectations, and reaching for better goals. Striving towards being a better human being. This is the sound of the future becoming the past at breakneck speeds... "slow this moment down, don't let go of now." We can dream of this better future, and we can achieve it. Keep going, it's worth it.
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL orchestra music. I share/shared Star Trek with my father as a common interest, so when I hear the music, which is incredibly awesome and beautiful, I think back on good times shared with my dad. : ]
In my case, it's my daughter and I - we watched every episode of all the series (excluding the new anti-Trek Trek) over a period of some years. But ST:TOS was the first programme I was able to stay up "late" for as a kid - then I watched with my dad. My sister never got into at that time, as slightly younger than me - but later she did with enthusiasm. Around the time of my grandma's death and funeral, I went with my mum (her daughter) to see "Generations" - we considered first whether we would stand the emotion, and decided we would risk it - and it chimed perfectly with the mood. Years earlier, mum and I (as British people) had watched "The Voyage Home" in a Salt Lake City motel, while waiting for the return of the rest of the family - and it chimed perfectly with the mood. And it's no exaggeration to say Trek instilled extra meaning into all our lives - and what is more, overall that no longer comes from any individual episode (or at least very few of them). It comes from the overall synergy. For years I heard that Trek was of religious significance, only to later hear it was specifically designed to be humanist and anti-religious! In my head and heart and soul (and those of many people I know) the two strands have merged seemlessly. God loves us so very much, and the Spirit is so very active (including as the inspirer of music), because we strive despite our imperfections, we ARE half way between the Angels and the chimps, we have tonnes of imperfect ideas, we turn our backs on the Trinity, yet many of our ideas glimpse the truth of the cosmos. Look at the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel and see who is making all the effort there - clue, it's NOT Adam! God's love trumps our humanism, even if the latter often has its own (of course actually God-given) beauty and energy and worth.
@@sidpheasant7585 I resonate with the overall synergy of the world that Star Trek is, lacking for better words of my own description of this phenomena. I can also appreciate your view of the works of God’s own hand, even though us. Thanks for commenting in reply!
Quantum Physics states that this universe exists, one where we get to see this civilization succeed, and flourish. We are but babes, crawling in the dirt, wanting so badly to understand what is above and beyond ourselves. "2nd star to the right, and straight on 'till morining.." ad astra asperum
The Ba'Ku people really piss me off honestly. All about rejecting technology when in fact they ARE using technology if primitive. Furthermore their entire existence runs contrary to the ideals of the franchise and this film PRAISES their viewpoint! WTF? And it's ironic that Picard draws objection to this idea of beaming the Ba'Ku to another planet while they research what gives them their long life when in the series he goes ALONG with a similar plan! Besides it wasn't like they were going to permanently displaced. I imagine Starfleet would've done the research they needed in a quick fashion, taken samples to study then beam the people back! And just to add a bit more, the Dominion by this point was CRUSHING the Federation. They needed some medical ace in the hole to try and save billions of lives and all it was gonna cost was moving a few thousand people for a bit. There is no conflict there, in fact it would've been painless!
Too bad Webshooters1 but I disagree. They wanted a simple world and they were in it. No one should take that away from them. Thanks to Picard and the Next Generation bunch to help them go back to it.
@@margaret8391 They wouldn't have. The Ba'Ku people are a hypocritical bunch of assholes. Again, Picard went along with a similar plan in the show but now suddenly draws an objection? Also I'm reminded of Spock's words to Kirk: "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few." The Dominion War was causing the Federation to lose and lose badly to the point where it's pretty much a guaranteed certainty that the daily list of those who died would be someone people knew either as a friend or family member. So they would've been relocated for a bit then they would be beamed back! Total non-issue.
A beautiful performance, but I cringe every time I hear the bass try to swell and get audiby choked down by the dynamic range compression they used while mastering it.
Amen brother!!! I especially wished Nemesis did never happen. Data dying??? WHO did think up this crap??? And the new Star trek films with the new Kirk are even crappier. All this overabundance of special effects just make it clearer that the original Star Trek feelings are not there anymore. You just feel that there is nothing left of Gene Roddenberry in the scripts. Or perhaps it just is the case with me. The new Star Trek is just like any other films that concentrate on special effects only nowadays, "empty"!!!! Do the people nowadays producing, think that a film is good as long as they use high class special effects, action action action and clichelike jokes??? What is with plot??? I want the eighties back!!!
