Kasey Kockroach 2,344 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 War for the Planet of the Apes by Michael Giacchino Definitely one of his better ones.

Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Pan I'm so excited for Solo! I really hope Powell is able to lay the emotional juices on thick as does in the finale of this score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just making little discoveries a bit at a time. I can never really predict what my ears will make of it, despite a score's popularity. I've really become fond of Hollow Man recently, while every time I try to listen to Braveheart nothing clicks. I actually liked what I've heard of The BFG, moreso than when I tried to listen to Tintin or War Horse. I never listened to Hollow Men and I also suffered a little during the first attempts to listen to Brave Heart. I listened to Tintin, BFG and War Horse, but they never appealed to me.

Kasey Kockroach 2,344 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Ice Age: The Meltdown by John Powell I live with my grandpa who's into film scores even more than I am, and he's of course much more musically inclined as well (unlike me, he understands terms like "chord change" or "crescendo", words that are still beyond my comprehension). For the record, his favorite composers are John Barry, Dimitri Tiomkin and Jerry Goldsmith. So I was ecstatic to discover him listening to this on his laptop. I introduced him to this composer, so to speak, but was nervously uncertain whether or not he'd like him. Was relieved to discover otherwise ("He's got good technique" he put it). I enjoy Giacchino now and then, but I agree with grandpa's assessment. "Powell's got the muscle and the heart. Giacchino just has the heart, and often that's enough."

Sir Hilary Bray 235 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 been trying to get my John Barry-loving Dad into more Williams' scores but I got ET and Schindler's List returned without a word -unlike Hanover Street which I did a copy for (amongst others). -- recently listened to a few scores including: The Italian Job- Quincy Jones (should I ever drive through Italy, this might well be the score). Getta bloomin' move on, Arthur! The Bridge at Remagen and The Great Escape- Elmer Bernstein. ("Blythe" is one of my favourite Bernstein tracks) Rush- Hans Zimmer ("I'm James Hunt, and this is what I do") Starsky & Hutch- Theodore Shapiro and a re-listen of the second disc of Empire Strikes Back. I've mentioned it on the other thread, but a new favourite of the short musical moment is "Leia's Theme" in "Rescue from Cloud City/Hyperspace") Kasey Kockroach 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasey Kockroach 2,344 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 My grandpa commented while I was listening to Jurassic World a month ago that a lot of it sounds like 50's monster movie music. Which might be a more accurate comparison than I initially figured.

John 2,032 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Star Trek: The Motion Picture, by Jerry Goldsmith It's... fine, I guess? It's by no means a bad soundtrack, but not nearly the Hidden Gem™ of a score that many claim it to be. The "synthy" bits sound pretty dated, and other than the iconic main theme, there really aren't any other standout leitmotifs. ** and 1/2 out of ***** Taikomochi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which of course means that you shouldn't imply that this "claim by many" is wrong. It's no "Hidden Gem" at least, because its mastery is widely acknowledged. The main theme, while certainly the bit that makes the strongest impression at first, is ultimately one of the least interesting things about it*. And I'm actually not as fond of Ilia's theme as most, though it's nice enough to be sure. But the atmospheric and dramatic stuff, like the flyover arpeggios and Spock Walk, amount to at least 50% of what's great about this score. *) Though of course, it's development as a love theme in The Enterprise is a standout moment in film scoring, and I'm also still very fond of Leaving Drydock.

Kasey Kockroach 2,344 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Ferdinand by John Powell Madrid Finale is my favorite cue of 2017, okay? Okay. Hoosiers by Jerry Goldsmith The syth kind of makes this feel a little too sci-fi sometimes, but it's not really bothersome for the CD listening experience. If anything, I often find syth in Goldsmith scores to be charming and just part of giving the score its color. My absolute favorite moment in this score, oddly enough, is actually the final few seconds of the final cue. I don't know why, just something those final few notes as the music softly fades to be tear-inducing every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 9,511 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 My Blu Ray player can reproduce 9.1. Of course it's not true 9.1, it just splits the signal another four ways. It doesn't do the sound justice, it just makes it sound more "ambient". I'll stick to 5.1, for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
