That'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.

Haven't seen it yet. If you can find the title you're referring to I'd love to give it a listen. I've got the soundtrack and can't recall anything like what you describe. I'm a composer for TV and film and will keep my ears perked for the opening music that bothers you.

Actually DB, the theme music is used throughout the film at incredibly wrong moments...when you see the movie, you'll notice it.

If a soundtrack calls attention to it in this way, if it smacks you out of the scene entirely, it is being misused. I think the music itself was good. The soundtrack was excellent. They just used it very inappropriately in the film.

As long as no one can break dance to it ... I'll be happy. Hoping its NIN like in atmosphere, though I will have to wait until tomorrow night to find out. Listened to the samples on iTunes....
