That line was actually a reference to the TNG Episode "The Naked Now" when Geordi was under the influence of the Polywater intoxication and he said a similar thing to Tasha.
It makes me so sad thinking what could have been... TNG deserved more movies. Nicholas Meyer writing, Jonathan Frakes directing... Jerry’s magical music...
This might not have been the best Trek film, but my god, the soundtrack and this scene in particular moves me every time. RIP Jerry Goldsmith. You were one of a kind.

Beautiful. The regenerative properties of that world points to that Paradise which Christ brought to Earth when He restored "sight to the blind" in the Gospels.
Because it touches a person's soul. Makes them feel at peace. Takes them away from the problems of the real world and to a special place just for them. A place of beauty, peace and tranquility.
It’d be fun to play this to Mozart, showing him that orchestral music has survived the centuries and we still make moving pieces, for this technology called “cinema”
Love the music to this movie. Another beautiful scene is when Picard is holding the dying woman and time seems to slow as the bird hovers ever so slowly. The music during this scene is beautiful.
I never realised (until it was pointed out to me) that these are variations on the 'Great Barrier' motif in 'Star Trek 5: The Final Frontier', which also appears in parts of the 'First Contact' score. If you keep that motif in mind and listen to this track you'll hear that this is the case.
I used to think this movie sucked but now I appreciate it more than ever... well seeing what star trek has become over the years and it's departure from having meaning and thought what else can I say the good old days are gone and they will never come back.
This is a wonderful score. As is the case of so many movies with The Next Generation Cast (save for First Contact) it falls short. It's not a bad movie; it's just another Next Generation episode. The tiny vignettes, however, make up for it being a complete failure. Picard watching time slow down, Geordi seeing the sun rise, etc.
First Contact should have been the first of a Borg trilogy that resolved that arc in epic fashion. The writers did not know that the future of media for EVERY franchise would be long-form storytelling of the scope of a Star Wars type of story, and that one-off, or self-contained, 2-hour Star Trek films would be considered inadequate, or at least no different than a single episode from the perspective of millennials. Because Wrath of Khan followed Empire Strikes Back, we got The Search For Spock and The Voyage Home, which is still the closest Star Trek has come to one epic story in film. Although today Discovery and in particular Picard have finally exceeded that ~6 hour playtime as single-arc stories. I suppose DS9 could be considered in that running if you somehow exclude all the filler episodes. Obviously, the JJ films were a cultural failure, and each film was standalone, despite audience demand for a long-form story like Avengers. I guess Paramount hitherto just didn't had the vision or budget to execute such a project until the new streaming shows. And the millennial hunger for extra-long-form stories is only expanding. Even the latest Star Wars trilogy was short compared to the MCU and thereby disappointing for that among other reasons, hence the success of The Mandalorian. With binge streaming and long limited series as the future of storytelling that young people most enjoy, I expect movies in general to fade away and historically fall into the same category as short episodes. People will become accustomed to large stories that are at least 10 hours long watched over a week's evenings at home, instead of the old form of one afternoon at the cinema.
Recently in The Orville S3EP08 between 21:25-22:00 where Topa is standing in the fireflies with Haveena, they payed a bit of homage to this soundtrack at around the 3:20 to 4:00 mark here. It's very similar but different enough in the episode to avoid copyright, but still recognizable.
I'll never understand why so many people dislike this film okay its not the greatest star trek movie ever but in no way is it the worst that title belongs to star trek nemesis.
03:12 I always love this part where the hobo transitions into a flute almost imperceptibly. Too bad that all the sound tracks have a high pitch whine at 2khz and 15.7khz in them on this album. I really hoped they'd release a version without it. It's especially noticeable at the start and during the quiet solo parts. Can't believe the mastering engineer didn't catch that.
Amen to that! Also it's kind of weird in a way, but this kind of music is what I'm thinking and hearing when people that are believers in Jesus leave this world and enter Heaven! Being a Star Trek fan and a Christian, that's what I hear in my head besides the resurrection piece from the score to Passion of the Christ when Jesus leaves his grave!
Lame movie, but awesome background and soundtrack, favorite part 0:51-0:54, feels like I’m back in my early years in the late nineties when this movie came out.
This movie was fine, as long as you can stand to watch something that isn't all action all the time, but occasionally takes a slower pace and makes you think.
In my opinion this was the last official Star Trek film. It had the heart & spirit.
Playing this music gives the world more poetry to listen to
Possibly the calmest, most serene, contemplative and introspective an escapist film will ever get…
Geordi La Forge: I've never seen a sunrise. Not the way you see it.
That line was actually a reference to the TNG Episode "The Naked Now" when Geordi was under the influence of the Polywater intoxication and he said a similar thing to Tasha.
As well as when Riker, with Q powers, gave him real eyesight and he could see Tasha as a beautiful woman for the first time ever.
I miss Tasha
Brings tears to my eyes when I picture him saying that to Picard... :)
It makes me so sad thinking what could have been... TNG deserved more movies. Nicholas Meyer writing, Jonathan Frakes directing... Jerry’s magical music...
Fingers crossed for Picard season 3

@@MrEdfed My apologies. Live long and prosper.
Jerry Goldsmith was always great at using flutes in those tender moments.
Jerry is up there on the 🐐 list with Horner and Williams, Zimmer. Does not get enough respect.
A score I wish was 50 minutes of splendor instead of 5.
Every instrument evokes pure raw emotion and together is totally consuming.
Oh, shut the fuck up!
We might say the same about our lives... but, one note or a symphony, to hear music is to make it.
I know it's been a few years since his passing but we lost a icon of film composers when we lost Jerry Goldsmith I can imagine meeting my next wife to this music absolutely phenomenal
It's been 15 years since his passing; a decade and a half since he passed.
4:20 to 4:23 those 3 notes give me chills down my spine.
Jerry Goldsmith, John Barry, Hans Zimmer and John Williams are the musicmakers of Heaven. If not, then Hell, I don't want to go there.
4:19 - 4:55 that section of the composition perfectly encapsulates a quiet moment between two movie characters.
This makes me weep like a totally masculine man who fears no emotion
It's called heart.
You care about life
God bless you.
If you are truly a masculine man, you put away emotion. There is a term for it if you don't know. It's called WIMP.
@@Booboobear-eo4es it takes more strength to cry
Best piece of music ever in a star trek movie
absolutely heavenly.
I've been here 1 year ago and it's beautiful ❤
Beautiful.
The regenerative properties of that world points to that Paradise which Christ brought to Earth when He restored "sight to the blind" in the Gospels.
I don't know why it makes me cry
Because it touches a person's soul. Makes them feel at peace. Takes them away from the problems of the real world and to a special place just for them. A place of beauty, peace and tranquility.
I have to admit it was so hard not to get a tear damn.
This movie was awesome!
DanielJohn19 this makes me cry
"I wonder if you're aware of the trust you engender Jean Luc Picard"
"In my experience it's unusual for.."
Heard a bit of this theme in the beginning of Picard season 3. Instantly reminded me how beautiful this piece of work is
It’d be fun to play this to Mozart, showing him that orchestral music has survived the centuries and we still make moving pieces, for this technology called “cinema”
Such calming, beautiful music !!!!
Love the music to this movie. Another beautiful scene is when Picard is holding the dying woman and time seems to slow as the bird hovers ever so slowly. The music during this scene is beautiful.
My darling sent me this song. Truly an amazing piece to listen to.
I love the scene that is with this music. Jeordi gets real natural eyes so he want to see a sunrise the way we see a sunrise.
A euphoria of wonderful goosebumps all over every time my ears hear this perfection of music.
A great work of music by a Genius conductor!

You mean the friendship motif?
Yes, although it's only in TNG that it refers to friendship.
it reminds me of Jon Barry
Beautiful

FOR ISRAEL-PALESTINE
..."and the leaves of the tree-of-life are for the healing of the nations."
I still remember in the cinema watching this piece of trash thinking, Jerry goldsmith could score paint drying and I would be emotionally moved
A lot of the movies he composed music for are trash. Yet the man only won one Oscar and no Golden Globes, but many nominations.
I really enjoy this film
The movie was NOT that fucking bad! ....but the soundtrack Is excellent.
This movie was fine, as long as you can stand to watch something that isn't all action all the time, but occasionally takes a slower pace and makes you think.
