Uni 306 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 None of those, no. But East of Eden, Rebel Without A Cause, Sybil, Fantastic Voyage, his two Planet of the Apes scores, Barry Lyndon, Cross Creek, Robocop 2 (his personal low point), and of course Lord of the Rings. Don't get me wrong; I never said Rosenman was a bad composer. He created a number of fine works, some of which I've always been fond of. But I stand by the statement that got you so ruffled up to start with: it all sounds very much alike. His orchestration and instrumentation choices were extremely distinctive, and never really evolved. East of Eden, one of his first scores, has the same acoustic patina as Star Trek IV some thirty years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent B 337 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I think all the Trek film scores are fantastic. Well the Giacchino's don't hold up that much to the original 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 They're okay scores but they don't really seem to fit in with the rest. At least to my (meager) knowledge of Star Trek. They're also kind of overrated around the internet from what I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zhao1701 2 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I'd have to agree that VI is a pretty decent score and that IV does sound way too...happy/comical/cartoony for Star Trek. The reboot scores I don't care too much for mainly because I hear music that conveys emotion rather than music that IS the emotion.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Maybe I should have gone with VI, but it has a lot of boring uninteresting music. Generations is pretty entertaining the whole way through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinAR 1,949 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Why? Why are the Giacchino scores so panned? I thought they were admirable enough efforts.because they are mediocre. A talent that we're told is so great in MG has had two chances to make a home run and instead doesn't even get to first base. His best music is his rehash of AC's theme. His London piece is quite good better than most of his original stuff but I really expected another WOK or SFS or FC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I don't understand how, of all the material Giacchino composed for the two new films, the one moment that gets frequently mentioned, and in this case deemed an actual standout by Joey, is that boring old London Calling chord thingy.

crocodile 8,008 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I myself never liked that cue or theme...However, the way in which John Harrison's theme overwhelms (and, ultimately, hijacks) this tune in London Falling is really cool. Love how this emotional becomes more and more mechanical and cold. My favourite cue in the score, actually.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the Zimmer lover but I thought KK had a bit of taste than gray. But overall Michael Gachino, no need for the silent letters to be used, is just not very good.Star trek 11 and 12 are the 11th and 12th best scores of the film franchise in some order.

Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 It's a bizarrely generic piece. That's garnered a lot of bizarre attention. A friend of mine actually commented on it in the theater during the credits. He said it seems more "emotionally relevant" than, say, what Williams writes.

KK 3,307 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Indeed. I remember when the clip of it in concert was released, some fans here were crying "Hallelujah!" and how "brilliant" it was.
