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. 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. James Horner is an excellent film composer but for the Star Trek films I truly enjoyed Jerry Goldsmith's scores. This is one of the few scores composed by James Horner that I dislike.
Who knows. The same thing was done with the Star Trek 3 soundtrack. 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". Will James Horner ever bring out the complete ones.
Hauntingly beautiful and at times sensibly heroic, this special score serves to shape the emotional tone and character of the movie quite well. The Wrath of Kahn film score is truly inspired. It is one of my favorite film scores.Enjoy.
This is an absolutely amazing soundtrack. James Horner has composed some truly moving and inspiring music.
