I agree, and I've heard that from other sources. A lot fans and non-fans alike have said they expected a better scrore, especially from a Star Trek movie (which is known for its classical, operatic epiphanies). This had....and I really hate myself for thinking this way.....this had a decidedly "Starship Troopers" sound to it, musically. However, the scene where they beam Pike, Kirk, and Spock back to the Enterprise is awesome for the little Alexander Courage homage, lightly playing the four-note Star Trek signature tune. And the use of the entire original TOS score for the closing credits was just damn cool...
