KK 3,307 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 All Nolan trailers and marketing are designed that way though. I expected something different from the film itself. 3 minutes ago, Bilbo Skywalker said: The actual event is perfect for "race against time" isn't it? I won't listen to any of the score until I see the film! Perhaps, but it's literally the framework he uses to design all his films at this point. It's starting to strike me as an uninspired way to build tension for the audience. Minor issue really though. Still very much looking forward to the film.

toothless 963 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I can see why people like this track. The thing is, it's zimmer in its sound design mode more than in its melodic mode. It reminds me of the docking scene in interstellar (even if it was more melodic) as I'm sure it will perfectly work in the theater. It's the kind of track that makes you nervous, that makes you grab your seat. You are happy when it fanaly ends (it has this satisfying and relieving end). And I think that's what zimmer was looking for. But it's nearly un-listenable outside the movie. I would not call it shit though. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I'm sure it services the scene it accompanies well enough, but as a track it's definitely indistinguishable from countless video game soundtracks I've heard over the years. I honestly can't understand why anyone would perhaps enjoy listening to this instead of something more interesting, but hey ho people have strange tastes don't they. Plenty of people would say the same thing about listening to orchestral film scores as a pastime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeallen01 2,136 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Yeah the piece is trash, but of course Zimmer remains 'revolutionary' and the 'modern day Beethoven' according to every comment section related to this piece. I'm sure it works well enough in the film, but to call this piece anything other than repetitive, lazy and boring, is simply a lie.

Arpy 4,145 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Whilst I think this cue is particularly boring, I think it could be the case the rest of the score will be better and this was one of the cues that they had to squeeze out for marketing. I felt the same way with Interstellar, after I saw the film I came out thinking that score was a masterpiece, but what little we heard beforehand was 'meh-ish'.

Naïve Old Fart 9,523 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I'll go on record (no pun intended!) by stating that INTERSTELLAR is my absolute favourite Zimmer score. This, however, is chug-a-bug stuff, that a moderately talented second-year music student could knock up in four hours flat. The trouble is, he/she didn't, and Zimmer did, and because of this, people fall over themselves to offer superlatives. Is Zimmer the emperor, and is DUNKIRK his new clothes?

Richard Penna 3,687 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I won't argue at all that it probably works fine in the film. As standalone music, it's utter rubbish. I hope, as suggested, that the rest of the score is better, and they've released this track for marketing at Zimmer's worshippers.

publicist 4,643 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 It will have a theme that probably will make amends for stuff like this but it sure looks like a more pragmatic approach than the lofty heights he tried for in 'Interstellar'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,012 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I don't hate it. To my ears, it's more interesting that his Batman music. But overall a stylistc step backwards. So far each new Nolan/Zimmer showed us something new, for better or worse. This is not. One thing that worries me is how is this supposed to immerse me in the events taking place in 1940's?

Thor 7,499 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Business as usual in the JWFAN forum, I see. I really like this track. Love the propulsive nature of it (without sounding generic). It's more in the minimalist style of THIN RED LINE, INTERSTELLAR, INCEPTION, the good parts of the BATMAN music than any of his 'copycat' composers. I can definitely picture this fitting Nolan's gritty vision. I also hear a potential techno remix in there!

Naïve Old Fart 9,523 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 There's nothing wrong with that, MedigoScan. Music is composed to support the film. Period. All these CDs are a (much-enjoyed) add-on. I'm sure that the piece of score under discussion currently, will, no doubt, sound great, with images placed against it. As a piece if music, however, I stand by my posts - it leaves a lot to be desired. 4 hours ago, Disco Stu said: Sophomoric fiddle faddle!!! You forgot "pish-posh", and "fiddle-dee-dee".

It's not about liking or not liking this crap. Music is subjective and you can like and listen to whatever you want to. I have crap I listen to. But every single person in this forum can do this track. One finger down on the keyboard for the drum loop, and it is a drum loop because I have it and I have used it. One finger down on the repeating note. You put your finger down and it repeats at the exact tempo you are in. You have to do nothing, and one finger down for the other sounds that you are bending. IE: LAZY LAZY LAZY!!! It's fine to use samples and loops, but you still should write music around it, through it, on top of it, even if you are keeping it simple. This can be done by anyone, without any knowledge of music. You don't need to know one instrument or be able to read music. This track literally takes 10 minutes of your time at best to do.
