I have clear opinions here, but I'd like to see what other people think. I love Michael Giacchino's scores in the Kelvin films, especially the first one. It might not be classic Star Trek, but it fits into J.J Abram's re-interpretation perfectly, and the end credits brilliantly incorporate the TOS theme and blend it with something new, bringing Star Trek into the new century. (I'm aware that this sounds like sentimental nonsense, I just really like this score.) TWOK's score is pretty great too, seamlessly blending tense battle scenes with moments of quiet reflection.
Let's see what you think.
 
I voted for TWOK, but TUC, GEN, and TSFS also had great soundtracks. Even NEM had an awesome riff or two so it gets an honorable mention.
 
First contact is the only one where I can sit and picture every scene just off the score. And the only movie outside of a new hope where I can do that
 
Gonna say 2009, with TMP and then STV in 2nd and third place.

As much as I loved the 2009 soundtrack, the other two Kelvin film soundtracks were quite samey with the exception of "London Calling"
 
The Yorktown theme is the best part of all the Kelvin soundtracks, with 'new car smell' as a close second. That Erhu or whatever it's called is hauntingly beautiful! The rest is way too repetitive and simple.
