"Douglas Trumbull painstakingly crafted the visual effects for Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Faced with an impossible timeline, him and his team completed more composites in six months than both Star Wars & Close Encounters of the Third Kind combined."

Trumbull speaks about the fantastic score by Goldsmith, when the Enterprise is finally revealed in toto. And yeah, the tune is that of the theme of ST:TNG.
But for totally brilliant music, watch and listen to the opening sequence of the movie, in which a trio of Klingon cruisers approaches an unknown enemy. Probably one of my favorite sequences of any sci-fi movie.
How the music shifts from aggressive battle-music to something dreamy when the clip shifts to the earth-based space station.
And you know how much I love sci-fi...
