This score was disappointing in context after the hype built around it. The thematic idea provides that sense of "wonder" on a very functional level, but aside from that offers very little. As Blume said, for the great matters this show deals with, the music (despite its orchestral setting) comes off as stock music. Even the main titles sequence, which is designed spectacularly, is supported by music that sounds like patchwork underscore. Underwhelming stuff. Although I'd rather they didn't go with that sound, Fenton would have been more suitable for this. I'd love to see Williams tackle this. Or on a more interesting note, see what someone like Corigliano might come up for this.
