The first 30 seconds are weird, but once you get past them, it's great. You're given the impression that you are floating in space, overlooking something very grand (which, at this point in the movie, I think you are). I really love space-themed music. The vocals hint at the beauty of space, almost as if the stars themselves are singing. And then that little trumpet, with almost a militaristic vibe, reminds us of humanity's noble quest to visit the stars. The strings commence and give us a sense of the purpose and forward motion of that quest, but now and then you can hear the undertones of another, more sinister theme and motive hiding underneath...
