For almost a month now we've been counting down through
and now we have finally arrived at the very top. So what do we find in the coveted position of number
There could only be one choice really, and here it is.
Not only is it still the best, nearly thirty years later, of all the
Star Trek movies in my (and most people's) opinion, but it has the best soundtrack. Young composer James Horner created a powerful yet somehow soothing backdrop to the adventures of the USS
Enterprise that it had never had before. There's something magical, stirring and even pastoral about his music that mixes in nevertheless elements of military themes and conflict, embracing the main signature tune while updating it, and the soundtrack would go on to be associated more with the franchise almost than the original theme. A true masterwork, a case of improving vastly upon the original and classic theme, and a worthy winner in the end.
KHAAAAANNNNNNN!!!!!!!
