Promethian ManJune 05, 2012That's an insult to STAR TREK. The original ST movies had brilliant and ominous themes by both Jerry Goldsmith and James Horner to name but two.
But I know what you mean - it was too jovial and inappropriate, as discussed in a prior thread by many fans.
If you take as example some of the musical pieces from STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE, which deal with the theme of The Creator encountering their 'offspring', the awe-inspiring, epic, dark, music is a far-cry from the 'wallpaper' music of Prometheus.
Now that you mention it, the Prometheus theme is more befitting of the later TNG movies and/or TV episodes.
