Name: Star Trek - The Motion Picture Sound Effects - Red Alert Klaxon by William Stone III in Star Trek - The Motion Picture Sound Effects
Duration: 3 s

This film didn't have much going for it, other than it was the first one.  After five years of different writers, different venues, and even a brief stint as the flagship TV series for a new network, Star Trek - The Motion Picture tried to be 2001: A Space Odyssey and failed miserably.

The production itself was a mess.  Writer, Harold Livingston, had a falling out with producer Gene Roddenberry, and as a consequence the film went before cameras without a completed script.  This was a complex movie with an enormous amount of pre-production.  Lack of a completed script was a kiss of death.

The special effects ended up being hastily re-done in many cases.  Leonard Nimoy actually passed out while hanging on wires for the "Spock Walk" scene (which was itself a complete re-working of a scene that originally involved Spock and Kirk, but that was impossible to film in time).

In short, this film was a mess.  It has two things going for it:  Jerry Goldsmith's score and Alan Howarth's sound effects.  Unfortunately, very few of the effects are available in collections or in the clear on the soundtrack.  This is a small collection of a few that are.

According to the Ninth Doctor, "mauve alert" was the universally recognised colour for danger, signifying the highest level of danger, as acknowledged by most species in the universe.

In fact, this is just my attempt to produce a loud, annoying alarm.  I need to be able to wake up to pages, and this is an attempt to create an alarm that will wake me under any conditions.

Former real estate billionaire Tim Blixseth tells Sheriff Arpaio and Mike Zullo that Dennis Montgomery claims that he "hacked into all of America" for John Brennan and James Clapper. The data harvesting was allegedly accomplished using 'THE HAMMER' - a computer system designed and built by Montgomery.

You just didn't do that with a complex movie with an enormous amount of pre-production.  That alone turned the film into a mess.

The special effects ended up being hastily re-done in many cases.  Leonard Nimoy actually passed out while hanging on wires for the "Spock Walk" scene -- which was itself a complete re-working of a scene that originally involved Spock and Kirk, but that was impossible to film as written.

In short, this film was a mess.  It has two things going for it:  Jerry Goldsmith's score and Alan Howarth's sound effects.  Unfortunately, very few of the effects are available in collections or in the clear on the soundtrack.  This is a small collection of a few that are.
