Guess what I found on the hotel TV...
The Enterprise lighting up and leaving space dock in Wrath of Khan is one of the finest scenes in cinema history.
I will die on that nebula
@garius Star Trek 2 is an opera. The music carries the action point by point, and every major character and location has a musical signature. (Although the "scotty/engineering" drumbeat is basically the same, as are Uhura/spacedock...)
But you can listen to the soundtrack and describe what's happening screen with 5 second granularity.
@landley 100% agree. This is another reason to avoid the director's cut. The added scenes aren't soundtracked.
In the nebula sequence, this REALLY jars as it makes clear how much of the action isn't actually action on screen, it's in your ears.
