Clever musician and filmmaker
Patrick Collins has rescored
Star Trek: The Motion Picture with Daft Punk’s soundscape for
Tron: Legacy and the result is really satisfying. Thematically similar on some levels, I think both Star Trek’s premiere on the big screen—which was
ultimately not the story first-pitched to the studios—and the original
Tron (not even considered for an Academy Award since using computerised generated landscapes were considered cheating in 1982—1979’s release was also panned for its over-reliance on special effects) were both really ahead of their time but received lack-lustre acclaim from contemporaries.
