It is a bit bombastic and failed to move me except for the finale where Horner brilliantly captured the feeling of loss and demonstrated his interpretation of the camaraderie between captain and crew. This is one of the few scores composed by James Horner that I dislike. James Horner is an excellent film composer but for the Star Trek films I truly enjoyed Jerry Goldsmith's scores. James Horner's score for "Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan" is a let down after Jerry Goldsmith's brilliantly powerful, mystical and moving score for "Star Trek: TMP." Jerry Goldsmith truly evoked the element of the insatiable human curiosity encountering the unknown with his atmospheric score.
Will James Horner ever bring out the complete ones. The same thing was done with the Star Trek 3 soundtrack. Who knows. I don't know if anyone realized, but this soundtrack is missing several pieces from the movie--just watch the movie and you'll know the ones that were left out. Thus this isn't an "Original Motion Picture Soundtrack".
It is one of my favorite film scores.Enjoy. The Wrath of Kahn film score is truly inspired. Hauntingly beautiful and at times sensibly heroic, this special score serves to shape the emotional tone and character of the movie quite well.
James Horner has composed some truly moving and inspiring music. This is an absolutely amazing soundtrack.
