Product Review
Amazon.com
After a decade of nascent cult fanaticism, Star Trek was finally reborn in 1979, given new life by an epic-sized feature-film production that all but squashed the quaint humanity that had been one of the original television series' most compelling elements (the producers got it right on Wrath of Khan and seldom looked back). Jerry Goldsmith's score, alternating robust heroics with alien mystique, is arguably the most memorable element of Star Trek: The Motion Picture; indeed, its main theme has heralded the voyages of the Enterprise in TV and film adventures ever since. This slipcased new edition resequences Goldsmith's music and supplements it with 25 minutes of previously unreleased, typically masterful cues. The set's "bonus" disc, Inside Star Trek with Gene Roddenberry, appeals to more polarized audiences: veteran Trekkers and shameless lovers of pop-culture kitsch. This 1976 artifact (previously unreleased on CD) was one of the first "official" efforts to address the show's burgeoning postcancellation popularity and features Trek creator Roddenberry ruminating earnestly about the show's origins and meanings with the likes of William Shatner and DeForest Kelley (who gives an eerily prescient lecture on the foibles of modern health care). Also features new narration by Nichelle "Uhuru" Nichols. Bonus points: Shatner doesn't sing! --Jerry McCulley

Summary: Magnificent score from a master composer 2010-08-28
Comment: What a magnificent soundtrack. I originally owned this on two cassette tapes, and played the tapes until they wore out. So many beautiful themes that Goldsmith and his assistant Lionel Newman came up with. It's a shame that the movie was so dull and lacked a purpose. (The aliens couldn't wipe the Voyager name off with a dust cloth?) The score evokes wonders that the movie only hints at, an amazing achievement.
One small quibble about this CD edition, they had plenty of room for the text to be wide and readable. Instead, the booklet designers (Ron Jaramillo and Pat Jerina) chose a font so small that one would need a magnifying glass to read anything. That's what happens when a CD booklet looks great on a 25' Mac monitor, and no one bothers to check if anyone can read the actual booklet. (If I take my scanner and scan each page, I might be able to read their detailed liner notes.)

Summary: Love it, but would like a future version with the COMPLETE score 2010-02-04
Comment: This is one of my favorite film scores, so I couldn't give it less than 5 Stars, but I'd gladly give it 6 if only it included the entire score. Granted, the 1999 release is a vast improvement over the original soundtrack album release back in 1979 by including cues like "Total Logic" and "Floating Office", but being a purist I'd like some of the missing cues, including alternate takes (the original, rejected version of "The Enterprise" cue, for instance) and some cues that Goldsmith scored and recorded, but were not used ultimately in the original film release. For example, Goldsmith wrote an eerie cue for the Ilia Probe's first appearance in the sonic shower (This was added back by Wise in his Director's Cut of the film). Take a lesson from the splendid 2 disc release of "Superman-The Movie"-I'd gladly trade the missing cues for the interviews with Roddenberry, Shatner, et. al.

Summary: Timeless! 2009-06-14
Comment: The music to this film was amazing! I also too a look at the small info booklet inside of the case and found out that the artist who made such a wonderful score had been working on this film score all the way to just a few days before the permier of the movie! His hard work has really come through in this CD!

Summary: Dissappointing 2009-05-29
Comment: I have long loved the soundtrack to this movie and have wanted to get a CD copy of it. I decided to download from Amazon instead and was very dissapointed. Instead of saving as two separate discs, the tracks from both discs were mixed (disc 1 track 1, disc 2 track 1, disc 1 track 2, disc 2 track 2, etc.) In addition, because of the track seperations of disc 1, each track ends abruptly and finishes up in the next track on disc 1. It is better than nothing but only barely.

Summary: Not as good as I had hoped. 2007-08-23
Comment: Believe it or not I am new to the Star trek world. I got this one and some other ST movies. I knew about the characters due to the pop culture effect it has had on society. But it took to long to get started and was slow and boring in several parts.
