Star Trek XI - spoilers!

[X]

Clever? I think a bit more contrived. Here are titles more respective of the music and content of the film:
Ilia's Theme † (3:01)
2    Main Title † (1:23)
3    Klingon Battle (5:27)
4    Total Logic (3:44)
5    Floating Office (1:03)
6    The Enterprise (5:59)
7    Leaving Drydock (3:29)
8    Spock's Arrival (1:58)
9    The Cloud (4:58)
10    Vej'r Flyover (4:57)
11    The Force Field (5:03)
12    Games (3:41)
13    Spock Walk (4:19)
14    Inner Workings (3:01)
15    Vej'r Speaks (3:50)
16    The Meld (3:09)
17    A Good Start † (2:26)
18    End Title (3:16)

This titles seem kind of simple and lack creativity.

I'm not sure why it's necessary to debate the titles because it's the music that really matters. Titles are only memory place holders. It would also be hard to debate what is the greatest soundtrack of all time because music is such a subjective thing. I love the Star Wars soundtrack but the "greatest"? Me thinks not!  :starwars:

Bryan, I have two comments to that.

1) I don't agree it was the greatest soundtrack of all time and many lists agree.
http://audio.tutsplus.com/articles/web-roundups/25-greatest-movie-soundtracks-of-all-time/
http://www.filmsite.org/100soundtracks.html

2) It sounds like you're looking for something to complain about. I mean doesn't it sound just a little nit-picky to pick on the titles of the soundtrack? Are the titles of the soundtrack going to change the sound of the music? We haven't even heard all the songs. maybe the titles fit.

Doing research on the musician reveals that the way he names music is just his thing. It has nothing at all to do with trying to bring in the young hip crowd, but how one man likes to name the things he creates.

Yeah, what you said! this is what happen when I spend 10 minutes on a post!

[Bryancd]

I'm sure the music will be great, I just don't think the titles are a little too cutesy. :) Oh, I cut and pasted all that from Star War, although for me, it's the greatest film soundtrack ever, I can listen to it everyday.

Let's get back to the real topic - the movie itself.  Here's another TV spot, slightly different than other ones so far.

Star Trek (2009) - Tv Spot #11 [720p HD QUALITY]

If everyone isn't already aware, the IMAX showing of "STAR TREK" is for 2 weeks only.  So don't miss out!

That's how it was advertised locally which I why I went for IMAX tickets straight off.

Another guy over at the RPF who I have always liked just saw the movie and was blown away! He LOVED it! Jamie said she would go with me but not on opening day. :)

I just watched this and laughed very hard.

Has this been posted already?

[Bryancd]

That was great! Very gracious of him.

[Meds]

Oh Shatner, he's so cool.

Writer Lilith Saint Crow recently spoke of the movie via twitter. She doesn't want to see it because she thinks that Spock didn't get on the enterprise until after Kirk was made captain and they are changing that in the movie.

That's weird! I wonder who she thinks the Vulcan was that served under captain April before Kirk was captain?
