My god, you´re right, I have very fond memories of going with my family to the premiere. Best Star Trek movie, the score, the story, everything about it was perfect.
The central slow section is definitely one of the best Star Trek theme ever composed : simple (melody and harmonic progression), fragile, nostalgic, powerful and majestic at the same time ! Goldsmith at its finest
Brought tears to my eyes when hearing this at the end of S3E1 of ST:PICARD. Saw this in cinema when it came out. 25 years ago. Damn, how time flies by...
It got me when the first episode started off and they pulled that little clip before they went into what Crusher was doing... at that point I knew we were in for something epic!!!
@@EdMorais-rh7ye You didn't even need to watch the first two seasons to get invested. It was it's own thing. From what I heard, most of the episodes from the two seasons were absolutely horrible from really bad writing and just being political.
@sguinn91 , most if not all the people saying political opinions in star trek is bad are right wing bigots who just like action and want to say the n word openly without getting a fist in their face. They are selfish bigots who could learn from star trek. Season 2 was bad in everything else though, we can agree on that.
Jeff Charlton absolutely... I am building the polar lights 1/350th scale model of The Enterprise NCC-1701A, and I have this playing on repeat throughout the entire build
Allow me a moment to explain why this is my favourite Trek movie. I think that, out of all the movies, all the shows, this one best represents the franchise as a whole. Look at the movie and examine it. It can be dark, it can be funny, it can be scary, it can be emotional and thought provoking, it can be thrilling and exciting. And that's why this is my favourite Trek movie - it encapsulates everything I love about Star Trek into one neat little package, serving as a microcosm of the franchise as a whole. And that's why I love First Contact!
Of course, that's why it's my favorite Trek movie as well. It's so robust and hearty, it contains every great quality you would want from an epic Star Trek movie.
My mother truly believed that a day will come when we travel the stars and go on such amazing adventures. Unfortunately she suffered Demetia and advanced Alzheimer's disease in the last two years of her life. She died in '97 after First Contact came out but never got to see it as she was too sick. I hope some day her vision comes true and we travel the stars as I am sure she does now.
I'm sorry to hear that sir. But at least in our lifetimes it's a possibility that us humans will discover alien life in one form or another. So your mother may end up being right after all.
I hope too that mankind someday courageously takes flight to the stars! The beautiful message of Star Trek is that we CAN put aside our petty differences and find the courage to all venture forth as one to explore our universe together... if we really want to bad enough! There will no stopping us!!
The day will come, mankind is a slow learning spices and at times we can be distracted by petty issues. But the human mind and spirit continues to grow. One day man will travel to the stars and boldly go where no man, where no one has gone before.
Jerry Goldsmith doing the score for First Contact really felt like it had come full-circle, from his original The Motion Picture theme being used as the theme for the Next Generation. I am so happy he stayed right up to Nemesis.
My first star trek movie i actively looked in a cinema. Every time i hear this wonderful piece of music, i feel like the 12 year old boy i was there, amazed by this absolutely outstanding soundtrack. Only the themes of star trek II or VI are nearly so genius composed and performed.
@@iceomistar4302 I wouldn't say that. As long as Gene Roddenberry's basic concept is still intact, humanity still has hope. As Gene himself once said, "The Human Adventure is Just Beginning."
I love that this has just become the primary leitmotif of Picard. Is it because of the relevant subject matter? Who knows, but of all the movie themes, they picked the best one.
What I probably love most about this theme is that it was originally associated with the original series crew. I see it as truly a theme representing ALL of Star Trek-all that humanity, all that consciousness and sentience is capable of achieving.
I remember hoping they’d use the TNG theme when I saw this in the theater. They didn’t use it in Generations at all. I thought, “NextGen hit a home run of a movie. They deserve their theme song.” Then this started and not only was it THEIR theme, but the best version of it ever recorded. :)
The Star Trek V end credits was the best version of the theme for me. I also liked the Klingon section which came from The Motion Picture score as well. They played it again briefly in this movie when Worf appears.
I believe this was recorded on thd MGM scoring stage, the enx credits cue of Star Trek V was recorded at Fox and sounds much better, more recently John Williams recorded all his sequel trilogy scores at MGM which doesn't have the same sound as Fox and Todd AO or Abbey Rd, Denham in London, when recording a large orchestral score the bigger the scoring stage the better, in LA only Fox has that kind of Concert Hall sound after Todd AO closed down.
A film as great as this needed a soundtrack to match it...and trust the late great Jerry Goldsmith to come up with the goods. One of his finest Star Trek scores.
I hope we get to see our own "First Contact" in this century before 2063, finally paving the way for Human Stellar Exploration and beyond using a fully equipped hyper drive starship. 😀
No, Fermi's Paradox suggests we are alone, and I am starting to believe that, for if the Universe is indeed billions of years old, it stands to reason some civilisation, more advanced, should have contacted us by now. "Where is everyone?"
Without a doubt in my mind, the greatest theme and soundtrack from the greatest of all Star Trek movies. The music fits the comparison of Cap. Picard to Cap. Ahab, both seeking revenge for being hurt, despite the former claiming he is not seeking revenge, but trying to defeat the enemy. Also, that achieving warp speed would start a new era of peace and exploration.
Always liked this version of the theme - all the extra in between, how much more orchestrated First Contact, Insurrection, and Nemesis brings the TNG theme updated to sound!
@@SideSwipeGTA Well that’s what I mean. The orchestrated version, taking out the extra I mentioned, kind of truly emphasizes/accentuates the series/franchise legacy the way it should be/was meant to be heard. The times TNG was made itself they likely just didn’t have the budget or maybe tech instruments to maybe enhance or capture it in completeness or whatever.
"As we look out into the future, filled with possibilities, and back at our past, we must always acknowledge those who have been by our sides, through thick and thin, peril and peace... Not a thing, or a place, but an idea, that we can live together, and explore the vastness that is space, not only out here among the stars, but inside ourselves, seeking the meaning to questions yet unasked, finding peace in the answers not yet given. " Live long and prosper.
Seasons 3 and 5 of the TNG contain some of the best TV in history imo. The writing, storytelling and acting all came together like a great symphony in those two seasons. Lightning in a bottle.
Here's my interpretation of each movement of this piece of Star Trek music by Jerry Goldsmith: 1. 0:00-1:18. In the 23rd Century A.D., interstellar space travel is a bold and exciting reality--owing to the beloved starship Enterprise--producing unending benefits from the exchange of products and ideas with alien civilizations. 2. 1:19-1:40. However, life wasn't always like this. 3. 1:41-2:38. Think back to the dawn of the warp-engine era, after the devastation of World III, when all of humanity faced starvation, disease, and possible extinction. 4. 1:41-2:38. Nevertheless, a handful of poverty-stricken but courageous survivors labored at a former missile silo, to create history's first warp-capable engine, and free humanity to travel among the stars. 5. 2:39-3:10. We hear, "Six hundred million dead," in some of the melody's mournful notes--emphasizing that the warp-engine project was not guaranteed to succeed, and that humanity itself was not guaranteed to survive. 6. 3:11-4:10. But the first warp-engine test succeeds, attracting the notice of an alien survey-ship. The aliens land at the test-site and make First Contact, commencing a new era of peace and prosperity. 7. 4:11-4:38. Fast-forward to the future, where that early First Contact has led to the eradication of hunger, poverty, and war, all replaced by education, health, wealth, and incredible adventures. 8. 4:39-5:23. And note that humanity is not finished--greater endeavors, greater achievements, greater triumphs await us, because of our invincible intelligence, empathy, sensitivity, power, and courage.
Megatron2013 technically, the theme from “Star Trek: The Next Generation” originated as the theme from “Star Trek: The Motion Picture,” combined with Alexander Courage’s fanfare from the Original Series.
This is the best End Credits I've heard from Star Trek movie, which gives me hope for a brighter and STELLAR future, where one day Mankind will finally explore the stars. Space: the Final Frontier. 😂
athansky25 “These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Her ongoing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, To Boldly Go Where No One Has Gone Before...”
Say what you will about First Contact. That it is action schlock or doesnt fit the tone of the TNG show, but the last shot of the film with the Vulcans and Zephram Cochrane that pans up towards the stars always gives me chills.
Whoever says that is an idiot. First Contact is more than just action, it compares a post apocalyptic world to a utopian future, giving us hope that no matter what happens, the human race will live on, and make the world a better place along with it.
I can actually smell the movie theatre popcorn. Oh what a rush of nostalgia this piece of music brings. Captain John Luke Picard was a BOSS, and I miss DATA :****)
At 4:08 when the TNG theme comes back in, after such a slow and emotional piece it's kind of saying 'no matter what happens, we don't falter, we dust ourselves off and commit ourselves to our duty' something like that
space the final frontier... These are the voyages of the starship enterprise its continuing mission to explore strange new worlds seek out new life and to boldly go where no one has gon before TNG theme plays in the background
This is more than music, it's like an anthem of the generation. It reminds me of all those who have come and passed, and how the life is endless and beautiful.
Jerry Goldsmith defined the movie music to Star Trek. In my opinion, the short list of the best end credits music by Jerry Goldsmith to a Star Trek movie: 1. Star Trek: The Motion Picture 2. Star Trek: First Contact 3. Star Trek: Nemesis 4. Star Trek: Insurrection 5. Star Trek V: The Final Frontier To be totally honest, all five of Jerry Goldsmith's music to the end credits of the five Star Trek movies are ranked #1 in my mind.
This is One of My Favorite Musical Pieces of All Time. I Can't Even Reasonably Find the Words the kind of Emotions this Masterpiece Fills Me with. It's Glorious and Adventurous and Filled of Wonder. It Fully Expresses the Emotions this Kind of Perilous and Most Pivotal Journey Our Heroes Have Embarked On and We Experienced it with them. I Know, it's Hard to Find the Words But This Music Almost Feels Like it would Be Wrong to Not Say SOMETHING! So I Said Something. Bottom Line, MASTERPIECE, Beautiful, Emotional, Glorious MASTERPIECE!
This is the best End Credits I've heard from Star Trek movie, which gives me hope for a brighter and STELLAR future, where one day Mankind will finally deep explore the stars. Looking forward be a part of that Journey. Space: the Final Frontier. 😂
been listening to the soundtracks of all the trek movies recently and I have somehow found a new appreciation of them due to this. It's been kind of like an epiphany but not. I just see them differently now. Loved them before love them even more now
A bit of trivia: Star Trek: First Contact is the only Star Trek movie or TV episode where a character actually says the term "star trek". Zephram Cochrane is the one who said it.
Well, Q actually mentions the words "star" and "trek" in All Good Things
@Paul Thomas Johnson too bad nobody in Star WARS actually said "Star Wars." Possible missed opportunity for Disney, though.
@@ThePoreproductions They use the two seperate words *a lot* though XD.
@@ThePoreproductions Disneys star wars will go down in history for missed opportunities. Garbage.
According to the audio commentary for _First Contact,_ it had been a secret desire of Brannon Braga and Ronald Moore to have a[ny] character say "star trek" during _TNG,_ but they were unable to justify it. (Similarly, the line Lily Sloan says about "'Borg'-? Sound Sweedish...") It wasn't until _First Contact_ where they got their chance, because those two specific words put together in such a way is grammatically awkward in English.
Thank you, Jerry Goldsmith, for giving us one of the most iconic musical pieces in all of cinema.
Thank you Terry Matalas for this being used in the last season of "Picard".
I wept when the First Contact theme came on.
I still love pulling up concert that movie studio put together during Covid , my god it’s a grand music score they put out for us all

Immediately recognized it in Picard too. Great stuff

My favourite Star Trek film of all times and loved the music. Can't believe it was 25 years ago I first saw this at the cinema . Where has it gone.😊
It was a hearty, robust Star Trek movie that had all the best qualities you could want from a sci-fi epic. My favorite Trek as well.
My god, you´re right, I have very fond memories of going with my family to the premiere. Best Star Trek movie, the score, the story, everything about it was perfect.

I think this movie and The Wrath of Khan, are the two best Star Trek movies ever!
Personally I loved Insurrection the best. The woman's explanation of time slowing down won my heart
No one quite wrote themes like Jerry Goldsmith.
Definitely agree
Live Long and Prosper
When they pan out from the Vulcans and the humans listening to Roy Oberson and the theme plays...
It always gives me goosebumps
Pull back and tilt up
I have to laugh at the same scene where Cochran and the Vulcans are drinking and playing oobie doobie. Classic.
My mother truly believed that a day will come when we travel the stars and go on such amazing adventures.

I got to shake Goldsmith's hand backstage in Nov, 1983. A happy memory.
I envy you. Being able to shake hands with a legend now long gone.
Ive always loved classical music, and love how the film score keeps it alive!
There is only one way to describe this music.....HOPE.
Ja, genau.
Exactly.
Best of the star trek themes
Jerry Goldsmith doing the score for First Contact really felt like it had come full-circle, from his original The Motion Picture theme being used as the theme for the Next Generation. I am so happy he stayed right up to Nemesis.

Jerry Goldsmith's music scores are the best
Modern composers take note - THIS is how you do it.
You can say that again!
Well said
"Let's make sure history never forgets the name Enterprise"
Just a brilliant piece of music
You might like the ending to ST: insurrection just as well
What I probably love most about this theme is that it was originally associated with the original series crew. I see it as truly a theme representing ALL of Star Trek-all that humanity, all that consciousness and sentience is capable of achieving.
The iconic fanfare comes directly from the original tv series.
And the main theme originally served as such to the original crew’s first movie, “Star Trek: The Motion Picture”.
...bet PICARD brought you all here in 2023.
One of the best Star Trek themes ever is getting a well deserved encore, encore!!!
For Annie

Jerry Goldsmith is surely a gifted composer. The theme beginning at 1:40 is especially beautiful.
It's what I hear when I enter heaven.
At the end of Picard Season 3 all things come together and this music matched perfect.
What a beautiful melody, glad it's back

Picard Season 3 was the best season, and including this score certainly helped.
The best season of Picard. But not Star Trek or even TNG as a whole. There have been so many better seasons of Star Trek

Whoever says that is an idiot. First Contact is more than just action, it compares a post apocalyptic world to a utopian future, giving us hope that no matter what happens, the human race will live on, and make the world a better place along with it.
It tilts upwards
I can actually smell the movie theatre popcorn. Oh what a rush of nostalgia this piece of music brings. Captain John Luke Picard was a BOSS, and I miss DATA :****)
Jean Luc, remember he is French
JOHN LUKE LOL
Amazing, JG you are missed
from 1:40 💗💗💗😭😭
"First Contact" To me, the highest achievement of music in all of Star Trek.
Data is my favorite character on TNG, Spock on TOS, Sisko on DS9, Seven on Voyager, Archer on Enterprise.
The force is here
4:16
Boimler: "IT'S THE TITAN!!!"
Pakled: "Oh no, it's another Enterprise!"
Waited 18 years to see the USS Titan, and she did not disappoint. :)
Gotta love Riker and co. in The Titan wearing later DS9 uniforms as they should
Yes...next generation is classic..bueatyful music...
1:40 onward is the nostalgic part.
Alex Bramsen what is that movement called?
@@maxmcvicker It's the main theme.
The song makes me tear up for some reason
Will be my outro...incredible piece.
At 4:08 when the TNG theme comes back in, after such a slow and emotional piece it's kind of saying 'no matter what happens, we don't falter, we dust ourselves off and commit ourselves to our duty' something like that
space the final frontier... These are the voyages of the starship enterprise its continuing mission to explore strange new worlds seek out new life and to boldly go where no one has gon before TNG theme plays in the background
This is more than music, it's like an anthem of the generation. It reminds me of all those who have come and passed, and how the life is endless and beautiful.
I'm crying 😭
Make sure history never forgets the name Enterprise!
Would be nice to hear a reorganized version to match the scene of the Titan rescuing the Cerritos
Jerry Goldsmith defined the movie music to Star Trek. In my opinion, the short list of the best end credits music by Jerry Goldsmith to a Star Trek movie:
1. Star Trek: The Motion Picture
2. Star Trek: First Contact
3. Star Trek: Nemesis
4. Star Trek: Insurrection
5. Star Trek V: The Final Frontier
To be totally honest, all five of Jerry Goldsmith's music to the end credits of the five Star Trek movies are ranked #1 in my mind.
This music says star trek to me. The new stuff doesn't touch the genuine article. I could listen this all day, the feeling and emotion never wanes
The 3:12 mark gets me every time.
What a beautiful Piece of Music.
No contact without safety equipment.
Safety first.
Worf steals the show in this movie.
This is One of My Favorite Musical Pieces of All Time.
I Can't Even Reasonably Find the Words the kind of Emotions this Masterpiece Fills Me with. It's Glorious and Adventurous and Filled of Wonder. It Fully Expresses the Emotions this Kind of Perilous and Most Pivotal Journey Our Heroes Have Embarked On and We Experienced it with them. I Know, it's Hard to Find the Words But This Music Almost Feels Like it would Be Wrong to Not Say SOMETHING! So I Said Something. Bottom Line, MASTERPIECE, Beautiful, Emotional, Glorious MASTERPIECE!
Room-shaking musical thunder!
I can still picture either a Constitution class refit or Sovereign class.
This is the best End Credits I've heard from Star Trek movie, which gives me hope for a brighter and STELLAR future, where one day Mankind will finally deep explore the stars. Looking forward be a part of that Journey. Space: the Final Frontier. 😂
The orchestra gave Jerry Goldsmith a standing ovation after recording the main theme
been listening to the soundtracks of all the trek movies recently and I have somehow found a new appreciation of them due to this. It's been kind of like an epiphany but not. I just see them differently now. Loved them before love them even more now
Can't beat that!
Jerry Goldsmith, James Horner, Ennio Morriconne, John Barry, Vangelis...
The great composers of cinema, unfortunately, are all leaving.😔
Best star trek the next generation movie
