Excellent.
I was kinda expecting a generic score, but this is great so far, cant wait for the whole thing in dolby surround in the theatre.
The Theme is fantastically done, ive heard full orchestras do the theme better to be honest, but for a movie update, its fabulous. Shame its not left until the end ala Casino Royale, as the movie opens with the theme.
The use of the original TV theme is amazing! It's such a classic theme that has never been adapted for the big screen, while Jerry Goldsmith (good as he was) kept regurgitating his TMP theme over and over to the point where it may have become more identified with Star Trek than the original. "Back to the roots" is a great thing in this case!
Actually, just to rain on your parade...
Courages Star Trek theme was used in TMP for the captains log scenes, beautifully orchestrated, unfortunately, not included on the soundtrack.
Also, on The Voyage Home soundtrack, the Back home/End credits sequence, Rosenman has Courages theme again, when the Enterprise A is revealed. Its the only two instances in the movies where his actual theme is heard, not just the opening fanfare.
Check this at 0.38 seconds and and it makes a full apearence, fanfare and all at 1.11 onward.
