What I liked about Giacchinos score for Star Trek reboot super, was the new title theme, which he then used also consistently great throughout the soundtrack. The simple lack Me Into Darkness. Often this great piece flashes even to marginally by times. Even the more varied overall sound body of its predecessor has been sacrificed in favor of interchangeable pieces. Here Giacchino would have to go to the playful thing. While listening I could not help this time, just to think what have done a fantastic job for James Horner or Jerry Goldsmith earlier. The pieces 3, 4, 9, 10, 14 are well done in every case, but over long distances Giacchino has here simply no Star Trek flair built, so that the score compared to its predecessor or even successful, varied soundtrack, as Giacchinos Work to Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol is pale.
