- Comment [b]Annihilation[/b] This is one of the best movies I've watched this year. Although I enjoyed reading the quite intricate and well-argued theories about the movie's meaning, the visceral [i]dread[/i] this movie leaves you with is enough for me. It resonates on both a primal and intellectual level. ...

- Comment [quote] AOTC is the bastard child that we should just bury and forget ever happened.

- Comment [quote][b]Steven wrote[/b] [b]Solo[/b] John Powell [small]John Williams[/small] It's hard to compare this to other Star Wars scores since, for the most part, this is Powell's voice through-and-through (and all the better for it). But I'm tempted to call it my favourite Disney Star Wars score, even ...

- Comment I've always loved Daft Punk's "Tron Legacy" score, but I hadn't listened to much of their other music, so I've been recently listening through their stuff in reverse chronological order. Wow. There's some really good stuff there. I especially love the song, "Touch".

But there are great tracks to be found in all these WHO scores.[/quote] I guess i could see how the more overtly comedic or whimsical tracks could come off that way. But ...

The great thing about the first film is that it's just at the CUSP of something dark and looming about to happen, with deep mythological issues boiling just beneath the surface of a fairly present-day ...

- Comment [quote][b]Edmund Meinerts wrote[/b] The first is a standard (but quite good) Hollywood blockbuster, the other two are a bit more ambitious (having so many scenes play out with nothing but sign language, having much less conventional scores and a much stronger atmosphere). I like them all, but from ...

- Comment [quote][b]Steven wrote[/b] I thought the third was the best one, and the first the weakest with its clichéd characters and, well, James Franco (the scores following this ratio). They also named them in the wrong order: the first should be called Dawn, the second War and the third Rise.[/quote] ...

The movie is incredible as well, it and DAWN set up what could have been one of the best blockbuster trilogies of recent times, then WAR ended it in a sputter. Great ...

- Comment [quote][b]Captain Future wrote[/b] It is a very intelligent score done by a highly capable composer. For me it is just not that much of a listening pleasure. It doesn't achieve that mysterious feeling that other minimalistic scores in the realm of science fiction do achieve. But then I just don't ...
