By far the best and by far the most successful of the Captain Picard-era Star Trek films, First Contact sees the crew of the Enterprise travelling back in time to stop Bjorn Borg preventing the first contact between mankind and the Vulcans. It’s a good film, with a nice dose of humour, some fine action scenes and Patrick Stewart’s finest performance as Picard. It also marked the return to the franchise (after a two-film absence) of Jerry Goldsmith, for the third of his five Star Trek film scores. Because his work on another film overran, the composer needed someone else to write about a third of the score and he turned to his son Joel, a good film composer in his own right, for those passages.
