Sandor 918 Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 Anal about spelling, like Ed Gein was.Oh dear.You seem to know a whole lot more about disturbing figures and what they might do in their cellars than I do..! Oh dear indeed...
Brónach 1,330 Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 At this point the only reasons I'm interested in this film are:-The score.-The "volcano scene". I wonder how many things they'll screw up.

JoeinAR 1,957 Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 principle photography is complete.now come the lens flares and the mediocre Giacchino score.
Quintus 6,494 Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 The biggest voice talent in video games is cast in the new movie: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-05-21-nolan-north-wins-part-in-star-trek-2-off-the-back-of-uncharted
Ren 77 Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 principle photography is complete.now come the lens flares and the mediocre Giacchino score.Aaaaaahhhhhh, mediocre??!?
JoeinAR 1,957 Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 principle photography is complete.now come the lens flares and the mediocre Giacchino score.Aaaaaahhhhhh, mediocre??!?yes Ren his 2009 score to Star Trek was mediocre at best. It ranks in the bottom 3 or 4 of all the Star Trek film scores. It isn't exceptional. It could have been but it isn't. AS time goes on Giacchino is proving to be a broken clock,
Ren 77 Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 I agree it could have been better but all was not lost on it.
JoeinAR 1,957 Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 When there is so much great Star Trek music out there, I have no need to ever listen to that score.I'm hoping the next movie will be better, or less stupid.
JoeinAR 1,957 Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 Hope? I have no hope for it.there is no reason for you not to.
Jay 46,242 Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 I agree it could have been better but all was not lost on it.It's my favorite film score of 2009, and my favorite Trek score after TMP and the Horners

Brónach 1,330 Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 I agree it could have been better but all was not lost on it.It's my favorite film score of 2009, and my favorite Trek score after TMP and the HornersI prefer it to Up. And it's seriously goosebump inducing for me. I listened to it to death.The theme is awesome live, and I love the tone of most of it in general. The adventurous development of Spock's theme in the end credits, the opening of Nero Sighted, etc etc... to me it has more personality than the Horners, but it's less solid.Later I tried to assemble a completeish listen but the "errors" in the Deluxe edition annoyed me and I ended up loosing interest in it somehow.John Carter is an example of what Giacchino might have tried to do in Star Trek but with more confidence and experience. I think the score for the new Star Trek could be like John Carter or better.
OneBuckFilms 517 Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 I actually enjoyed Giacchino's Star Trek a lot.It's a lot better score than some here seem to paint it, IMHO.Adventure, fun and heart.
Wojo 2,458 Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 Sshh, Oliverez could be lurking and you might upset him.No, if you want to upset him, just call the score to Up elevator music. I like Giacchino's score to Star Trek. Is it on par with the classic Jerry and James Star Trek scores? No, but we knew that going in that time had put those scores so high up on the pedestal of nostalgic greatness that nothing could touch them. Hell, Jerry wrote a Star Trek score or two that don't deserve to eat at the same table as his others, but we don't sit and badmouth those scores left and right.Take the "Star Trek" name away from Giacchino's score and it's still a solid action score with a catchy main theme -- I love themes that get major French horn action -- and a few other decent, noticeable ones.I'd rather listen to Giacchino's Star Trek score over his Alias or Lost scores any day of the week...but that's only because I haven't listened to my Alias scores yet, and I don't own any Lost material.
Jay 46,242 Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 Take the "Star Trek" name away from Giacchino's score and it's still a solid action score with a catchy main themeTHIS.I don't own any Lost material. Too bad, its his best work
OneBuckFilms 517 Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 I can certainly vouch for lost, though I don't listen to it all that often. Great stuff though.
Trent B 354 Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 I actually enjoyed Giacchino's Star Trek a lot.It's a lot better score than some here seem to paint it, IMHO.Adventure, fun and heart.I second this.
JoeinAR 1,957 Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 the music from Lost is absolutly uninteresting. Of course the show's ending totally ruined the entire show. what a waste of those years. Sometimes the destination does destroy the journey.I state again the 2009 Star Trek score is mediocrity. It was a chance for the Next John Williams to hit a home run and all he could manage was a walk.UP however is a grand slam Home Run, but he'll never equal that again. But that's okay because his ticket to heaven was punched, thought Star Trek assured him coach seating.
Wojo 2,458 Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 Joey, I get the feeling you're one of "those" people.The kind of people that defines the caliber of score by the movie it's paired with.Hook sucked, so you hate the score. I'll let KM ask why you're still at a John Williams website.Star Trek V sucked so you hate the score.Star Trek 2009 sucked so you hate the score.UP won the Oscar for best score, but big deal. So did The Social Network. Both films had a few minutes of memorable or catchy music, and the rest was...is it over yet?I want to like UP, I really do. I just can't. I think it's overrated and boring.
JoeinAR 1,957 Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 how sad for you not to like UP.I do tend to listen to scores from Films I like but not always and I do listen to a few scores I like but don't care for the film. I never said the score to Star Trek V sucked, no where on this site have I ever said that, find where I said and I will be amazed. But the film is awful on most all levels but not to the point it's even a guilty pleasure.I've never said social network is a bad film, I've never seen it. I hate its director and subject matter so I won't waste my time watching it since I'm still waiting for his awful film about benjie buttons to finish, is it over yet?
Wojo 2,458 Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 Sad, yes, I cry myself to sleep every night because I don't like UP.
JoeinAR 1,957 Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 no, I'm quite satisfied. I am hopeful that the Next John Williams will write a better score for Star Trek 2013. I really don't see that as much of a task.
Quintus 6,494 Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 I liked the ST score at first, but then the rot set in after the umpteenth time I'd heard that blasted main theme which needs a bridge like Captain Kirk needs a swivel chair to command one. It's so self-satisfied in its blandness, and ultimately irritating as a result.Still love the movie of course, being that I'm not a Trekkie.
JoeinAR 1,957 Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 Quint an epileptic friend of mine just walked and saw your avatar and had a grand mal seizure.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 Another one bites the dust!
Delorean90 47 Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 I think the next score could be quite good. John Carter was his best adventure writing since the Medal of Honor era, IMO, and I think he already left himself with some good material to work on, with the end credits nicely pointing the way forward, if he and Abrams are so inclined. The adventurous Spock theme bit that Chaac pointed out is one instance, and the other biggie is the counterpoint between the TOS theme and the ST09 theme at about 0:55. There's also the fact that Klingons are confirmed to be a significant part of this film, which gives Giacchino more to explore.It would be stellar if they have worked in something that has a bit more philosophical heft. I don't think Giacchino has tackled a film that has that going on in the way that some of the best Trek does, and it would be interesting to hear how he deals with it.
Admiral Holdo 16 Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 I liked some of the more atonal writing he explored in Narada Bing (and elsewhere). I hope there's more room for that in the sequel, he doesn't get much opportunity to write like that.
Brónach 1,330 Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 There's also the fact that Klingons are confirmed to be a significant part of this film, which gives Giacchino more to explore.Would a Klingon choir be too obvious?It would be stellar if they have worked in something that has a bit more philosophical heft. I don't think Giacchino has tackled a film that has that going on in the way that some of the best Trek does, and it would be interesting to hear how he deals with it.I agree.
Trent B 354 Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 Not sure if this has been posted but some pics of the new uniforms for the sequel has shown up.http://io9.com/5915240/check-out-the-new-starfleet-uniforms-from-star-trek-2The design influence is very heavily from Starship Troopers.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 They make the uniforms from the Captain Archer era look good. Xander Harris 1
King Mark 3,975 Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 you mean Captain America?These look like 1940's war uniforms
Brónach 1,330 Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 I despise almost all of the Star Trek uniforms I've seen with the exception of some stuff in TOS and the last film.
King Mark 3,975 Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 The red uniforms from ST2 onwards weren't great either
alicebrallice 134 Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 SPOILER! MICHAEL GIACCHINO HAS SPOKEN! THE NEXT STAR TREK VILLAIN IS:
JoeinAR 1,957 Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 Michael Giacchino is the villain, good Lord have you heard the mediocre music he gave the first film....
Xander Harris 9,674 Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 Mediocre music for a mediocre movie, Joey.
Ren 77 Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 it's not THAT bad guys!though the new uniforms are disgustingly blah
alicebrallice 134 Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 Michael Giacchino is the villain, good Lord have you heard the mediocre music he gave the first film....I'd let him be all villainous to me.
