1982 - a young teenager sees/hears Star Trek II The Wrath of Kahn, he says it's the best movie music he has ever heard. 2019 - a middle aged man is about to go into emergency surgery in late July to save his life (his appendix have burst and he's suffering intense pain, very close to death) In the hospital, the man plays Star Trek II soundtrack opening theme just before surgery. 2020 - I am nearly crying over this interview and what it means to me. This music has saved my life many times over. It has given me strength and purpose to live the best and most powerful life ever. THANK YOU JAMES HORNER!!!!

I wept like a baby for 20 minutes at Spock's death scene when I recently watched ST2 again. The friendship and bond the 2 characters share and the pain Kirk goes through is so real it just hit me like a truck that moment. And of course the music set the incredible tone for the entire sequence leading up to the death scene, including the ironic fast paced score while visually the ships moved slow and gracefully fighting for tactical advantage unlike the adrenaline filled high speed typical space fight nonsense in most sci-fi -- something I greatly appreciated this go around vs a decade prior hehe. Amazing all around movie.

No I would not state this is the best score ever - but it is much closer than many give it credit for - particularly in how the music dramatises battle scenes - and steers the audience through the themes of the story with suprsingly intelligent simplicity in themes and yet gorgeously complex and evocative orchestration! James Horner is my hero!
