While I won’t comment on the film or the score until I know most of you have had the chance to see it for yourself, I will say (and this won’t spoil anything for anyone, so chill out!) the best part for me was the Star Trek theme that Michael Giacchino rearranged over the end credit crawl. That brilliant theme was written by legendary composer Alexander “Sandy” Courage, who also wrote the famous Star Trek series fanfare, the first two pilot episodes, and subsequently many more episodes of that incredible television series.
