Summary: Incomplete Soundtrack 2008-05-26
Comment: 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". The same thing was done with the Star Trek 2 soundtrack. Will James Horner ever bring out the complete ones? Who knows?

Summary: Damaged CD 2006-11-25
Comment: I just received the soundtrack in the mail and it is horrible! Sounds like it was recorded off a television set. Lots of static and scratches. First time I have had a problem with a purchase. I hope I can get a refund!

Summary: one of the best soundtracks ever 2006-08-23
Comment: this is james horner's best score ever. by far. this is also one of the best scores i have ever heard. the arrangments, timing, structure, and proggressions in this album are absolutely brilliant and sends chills down my spine everytime i listen to it. this score has spawned countless clones and imitations by the likes of composers such as basil poledouris (listen to basil's starship troopers score. nearly all of the cues and progressions from it are ripped straight from The Search For Spock score) among many other composers. if there is one star trek score to buy, this is it.

Summary: The Magic of Star Trek begins with James Horner 2005-10-05
Comment: For me, this music is what probably started off my love for Star Trek and also (sci-fi/fantasy) motion picture music soundtracks. In its genre of motion picture music-soundtracks, this must be one of the most fantastically inspiring of all. It has a nobilic but heartfelt kind of romantic and mystic quality to it (mirroring the intense Spock-Kirk relationship) that I find very endearing. The soaring and melancholic string melodies - in 'Main Title', 'Returning to Vulcan' and the 'End Titles' really grip my attention, appealling to a simple kind but deeply seated need for pure and simple wonder, however uninspired the ideas behind the music sometimes may be. (The presto cascade of sixteenth notes on the violins at the start of 'Stealing the Enterprise' is of course an almost direct quotation from 'The Fight' (Act I, scene 6) from Prokofiev's music for 'Romeo & Juliet'.) It is interesting to know that the theme-music for Spock, which permeates this whole soundtrack, is also already present in the soundtrack for Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, especially noticable in the cue 'Spock', where it speaks with restrained nobility, simply orchestrated with high-pitched electronic effects with accompaniment of wooden flute and harp strummings ...
It must have been about two decades ago that I first heard this music coming out of the speaker of a simple color television on which there was a telecast of the movie Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. As an early teenager I was strangely drawn to this colorful, bold and often deeply sentimental music while in the background, projected on a large, operatic canvas, there were stars and moons and planets and spaceships, and heroic people called (as I learned later) Spock, James T. Kirk, McCoy ... This music just makes the adventures and emotions of these characters seem all the more human.
