[QUOTE]Originally posted by kmart: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by AndrewR: Rating the soundtracks: TFF TSFS TUC FC TWOK TMP Gen Ins Nem TVH Why is it that the 'best' movie has the 'worst' score!?! [/QB][/QUOTE]Cuz it AIN'T the best movie? (I used to always rank III & IV, the Nimoy-directed pics -- along with FIRST CONTACT -- as the worst Trekflicks, each for different reasons, though NEM definitely challenges those in a lot of ways.) I DO agree with you on how good the TFF score is, especially in the earth and god planet sequences. Some other parts sound a little too much like RAMBO, though. I think TMP and TFF are the best scores by far, and TWOK has got an awesomely fun score to listen to, despite its unoriginality. Back when friends and I made super-8 films, we used to always score them with TWOK battle cues. There are small slivers of GEN that sound great (the stuff with Kirk aboard the -B is pretty solid), but most of that McCarthy score sounds like graduation music to me (a criticism I apply to a lot of film scoring, esp when John Williams decides to phone a film in.) I think the 'missing score' in the bunch is what Horner might have done if they could have afforded him for TUC. I think he got a little bit more sophisticated by 1990 or so before slipping back into his usual routine, and he might have delivered something a bit off the beaten path that was still catchy at times (the actual TUC score is effective film music, but I don't like listening to it apart from the film.)
