Same composer as The Wrath of Khan.

when he was a padawan XD

Horner was notorious for rehashing his previous scores

Like I replied below: There are some definite nods to Wrath of Khan, you can also hear a bit of Search for Spock, Aliens, and even Rocketeer, all movies he's done music for :D

Its more than a 'nod'...come on. James Horner is well known for copying himself. Huge sections of it are basically the same sections of music from Star Trek just tweaked a bit. This is not his most extreme though, there are many movies where he's literally just lifted the exact same section from another of his movies. "you can also hear a bit of Search for Spock, Aliens, and even Rocketeer, all movies he's done" Yep! I've no doubt you can hear something from another of his movies in every other movie. All his movies are rehashed scores used again and again and again. Not saying its 100% but so much of it is used again and again...either exactly the same or tweaked slightly. Watch 48 Hours and then Commando for example....well actually the examples are too numerous to even bother listing.

You jumped on the wrong (fire) horse on this one. Stylistically Horner used both Britten and Prokofiev as insperation for Star Trek 2 and Krull, but this is one of his most original (and long-lined) themes he ever did. Nothing about the melody or cord progressions has anything to do with ST2. It does not remotely go under the category of Horner plagiarism. Now if you want to talk about other themes or cues from the film, then I'm sure there are overlaps.

You haven't listened very well. Try listening to the tracks I mentioned side by side with this. Its very easy for me to identify it because my ear can identify similar sounds and music very accurately. I can even recognise sound fx that are used again and again, never mind music. This is definitely Horner re-using many parts of his music. To be honest there aren't many Horner scores that don't.

Let me put it this way if someone was making a Star trek theme super cut and slapped lumps of this score in it - it wouldn't seem at all out of place.

Extremely similar to Wrath of Khan. He's well known for copying himself.

Philip Horton Indeed. Just posting this one on Facebook as it's always been a favourite.

Oh damn. I didn't know he died so tragically. What a lose.

They should make remake sticking to the original just beef it up

the special effects and costumes were cheesey even for is day. Only people with quality taste in films liked it.

I thought, at the time that the film came out, that it was a Star Wars prequel - you know "Their son shall rule the Galaxy"; I thought Colwyn and Lyssa would turn out to be Darth Vader's parents! Well, it could still happen, with Lyssa being sold into slavery off-world and being renamed Shmi Skywalker...😁

I can hear a little e.t in there aswell .

KD84Afc™ He likes to uses a lot of brass and strings.

djcranium1210 E.T. was John Williams

Not wrong totally dedicated artistes in their Own Right, and the entire ensemble. Top marks

Didn't Torquil (UGH, what an awful name!!) say something shortly after about wanting to keep the shackles on as some weird badge of honor? X-D

"Well, keep the key anyway."

@@tommyt1971 If I remember right, he said he wanted them removed if he survived their adventure. Otherwise, he wanted to die with them on.

oh hell yeh,would be AWESOME

I would rather see a sequel made to Krull then a remake. It could be done like Tron: Legacy about the next generation.

Jon Paul just as long as they didn't butcher it like Conan.

+Jon Paul That would be blasphemy, it is perfect
