Getting back to our countdown of my ten favourite
Trek themes, in at number
we have one of the most maligned and least liked of the
Star Trek movies, although I certainly enjoyed it a lot more than bloody
Insurrection, that's for sure!
As for the theme, I like the sort of hint of darkness, the militaristic line that runs through it. It's not so upbeat and chest-beating as most of the themes, and it's brooding and just a little sinister in a way that prepares you for a movie that is certainly atypical of the franchise; indeed, there hadn't been as dark a movie since
First Contact. Given that this then was the last of the original "proper"
Star Trek movies I think it got something of a bum rap, but whether you agree or not, the theme certainly stands out.
