Star Trek: The Motion Picture super soundtrack suite - Jerry Goldsmith 

Goldsmith will go down in history as one of the greatest composers of all time

I played horn on this soundtrack and it was unusual, especially for the time. First a whole overture to the composer while nothing but stars were on the screen. Second the subtle way Jerry Goldsmith worked in the original Sandy Courage theme from the TV show. Third, the scene of Scotty & Jim flying to join the ship -- again several minutes of music w/o dialogue or sound effects to compete. Goldsmith wrote this scene first, then morphed the music into a march for the main title. Fourth, the extensive music as the Enterprise enters the force field Lastly, the slow pace that the film evolves is a huge plus in my book. Compare this score to the dregs that accompany the newest Star Trek Movies.

My Step-Dad's younger sister's husband was in the LSO as a violinist, his first job was on the score to 'The Empire Strikes Back'.

I listen to this several times a week, lately. It is often the only thing that lifts me above a suicidally-bad depression.

This film came out 6 days shy of 6 months exactly after I was born, and has been one of my favorite movies of all time. It’s only gotten better with the years.

The klingon battle - The most EPIC slow-paced space battle ever.

It's hard to believe that Star Trek:The Motion Picture came out in theatres back in December 7th 1979,and to this complete soundtrack by the late Jerry Goldsmith,I personally think is one the of the few of the world's best composers of all time R.I.P. Jerry 1929-2004.

the best Star trek soundtrack

My Favourite Star Trek score, Jerry Goldsmith was truly one of a kind.

When this came out, I saw it in Honolulu. I was a sailor and my senior Chief Petty Officer was named Roddenberry...Gene's cousin in fact.

To me Star Trek the motion picture is definitely up there with 2001.

When we all die we all will experience going where no one has gone before, I want star trek played at my funeral only I won't be there to enjoy it so I enjoy it now

Imho, Star Trek the motion picture is the best Star Trek movie ever. Why? Because just like the television series it made you think and made you wonder.

I was born in the late 2000s and the first Star Trek movie I saw was Star Trek 3, and watching the Enterprise exit spacedock just imprinted a never wavering connection. It still remains my favorite Trek film as of today. On top of that, James Horners score. TMP is just not my cup of coffee I guess, but I do love the music.❤

My absolute favourite Star Trek film. I even love 5 to the maximum. 3 is great as well. 2,3, & 4 were a trilogy of course and I felt it worked perfectly. 5 was just a testament to Shatner attempting to imitate what an episode of T.O.S would be and 6... well, 6 is the perfect send off in the way "All Good Things" was a beautifully perfect end cap for T.N.G. There were times in which Star Trek very much saved my life.. too many times to count.

I remember seeing this movie opening day. After the series ended so abruptly. I knew when I saw the enterprise in the space dock all refitted, I knew at that moment star trek was back and this time it was back for good and there would be no stopping it.👍

This is such a beautiful, evocative soundtrack and it completely consumed me as a child when I first saw this movie. I was utterly spellbound and even at that age I didn't mind the slow pace of the film. I was enthralled, and love this movie just as much as I did back then. I know TMP gets a fair amount of stick, some of which I guess comes from the fact that it was released a couple of years after Star Wars and inevitably gets compared with it (wrongly - it's a totally different kind of movie!), but it's a beautiful piece of art and the score is such an intrinsic part of what makes it that way.

I have the vinyl record for this. When I was 14 I would play it in the background as I worked with clay this music was very inspirational. Many hours of relaxing and letting imagination run wild. Although the movie I remember most was Rath, saw that with my dad and he was an electrical/mechanic engineer. To see his reaction when the ships fought was priceless. You could tell he was disturbed to see so much technology and hard work being destroyed. Oh and how much power the ships had. My dad used to design propulsion systems for torpedoes for the Govt. He loved engineering and his job, but I know later in life he felt bad knowing what death and destruction was caused by things using his designs. But he put food on the table and a roof over all our heads. Of course China got ahold of many of his US patents and ideas.

The Enterprise is my all time favorite cue, along with the opening Klingon Battle theme. This is my favorite Star Trek score

The most beautiful Star Trek ever!!!

What a great picture of the Enterprise

Ilia's theme...my heart explode.

I have always thought the uss Enterprise starship is beautiful. I was fascinated by the shape of it when I started watching the show in 74.

この作品を映画館でみた時の感動は今でも思い出します。オリジナルキャスト！夢みたいな時間でした、ありがとう。

As a youth, I loved the Enterprise theme. I still do, but as an Adult, it is Illia's Theme that i love. It encapsulates the 70s, and their hopes for a progressive future, in a way I can hardly describe, in a lush, romantic verse. Goldsmith's finest work.

This epic score showcased the eerie twangs of the Blaster Beam.

The prelude music was one of the coolest things I've seen. Love that theme.

This music, along with the superb visuals, was instrumental (pun intended) in giving this first big screen incarnation of Star Trek its EPIC feel.

Goldsmith rose to the occasion with this one, although he had to be goaded by Wise to drop some of his earlier musical drafts and expand his thinking a bit. The end result was the redeeming feature of the movie. Compare this to the score Alex North wrote for the vast dialogue-free sequences in 2001 and one can see why Kubrick wanted none of it. Goldsmith was a talented composer and a genuine craftsman.

Instead of comercials they should play overatures like this theme song before the movie while everyone gets the popcorn in Theaters

Jerry Goldsmiths greatest soundtrack in my opinion. I did a few videos on the classic Star Trek films and mention this.

Hard to remember now just how much impact this score had at the time. It's too familiar after 40 years and it's difficult to listen to with fresh ears.

An incredible score for an under rated movie. James Horner's Star Trek II score is my fave though.

Love this soundtrack.

❤ such a great score

Fantastic, however I feel there is one score missing. I think its just after Kirk meets with Sonak at Star Fleet headquarters (Sonak later ends up mush in the transporter malfunction). Just after Kirk tells Sonak he is going to meet him as commander on the Enterprise there is a shot of a space station with what looks like cargo ships moving around. This scene with its score I think is one of the best from the film.

Thank you

I think that we expect a lot out of Star trek because at it's heights, it can be excellent. Fans like myself tend to forget that the movie people are mortals, too.

It was startle your senses

Jerry Goldsmith and Hans Zimmer, two of the best composers.

J G ..genius

Excelent mi first movie startrek

First time I have I have ever heard the main title, I was like 'Damn, that's the TNG theme!'

❤🖖🏼

... is PIC's theme just a remixed Ilia's Theme? I will never hate that music ever again.

Out there

I don't know what the hell it's called, but THAT sound needs to be used more.

The Movie Enterprise is THE Enterprise.

😘👌❤

In the tradition of the great Gene Rodenberry the five year voyage continues "Where no species has gone before". I present to Star Trek fans the next adventure Star Trek Foreward Commanded by "Captain Jamie Quest" and her crew on board the Mirage Vector Class Starship Cruiser NCC 92104 USS Foreward. Named for "Rear Admiral Teagla M. Foreward" who commanded the NCC Copernius in the battle of the Keslar 732. Which broke the back of the Borg once and for all saving thousands of Federations worlds with one swift blow the Borg Hive never saw it coming. With the help of species 8472 also known as the "Undinian", thanks to Federation "Admiral Kathern Janeway" and her first and subsequent contacts with that species. Into the Hydra Quadrant they go to set up diplomatic relations with the advance worlds spread throughout this vast galaxy. Under a new propulsion system called "Gravity Flux Drive Warp System" nacelles and core engine. The adventure continues ever forward . . . . .

I go with the general opinion that one, three and five are not as good as two , four and six. That said, one was lovingly crafted and as a TV movie, which is how I saw it, it was very good. Remember, it was the springboard for all the rest. I say that even a subpar trek movie is better than anything else in the Cineplex.
