Not on international store yet, for some reason. Karol

I definitely never received anything past May 2024. Karol

Interested to see what unreleased music might be. And any sound upgrades, if there are any. Karol

Oh boy... @Tom Guernsey there were a couple of versions shared. The one I have is the "finalised" version as of 29th of May last year. Karol

Good score. Karol

Yeah, I thought it was Lost/Found too but it doesn't make sense in the scene. Karol

If anything, it has an absolute cracking recording of Herrmann's score. Might be best one out there. Karol

Yeah, it's "let's see if we can make this exact movie in live action" situation. This is definitely NOT a reimagining. As for "why", it looks like it made over 200 million already worldwide. So suppose that answers that. Karol

Yes! I thought the same exact thing. They are doing very well considering but I still couldn't shake this. They did a good impression of the animated thing but did little to sell their own, suppsedly more realistic, world. It's funny, there's nothing really wrong with the movie as such. But I couldn't shake a feeling this was just a terrible waste of everyone's time. And, oddly, it dragged compared to the animated one. Katol

Yes, that scene isn't there. Karol

Watched the film this morning. They recreated so many moments exactly that it made it extra pointless. The animation of Toothless feels pretty much like exact replica, just with more photorealistic skin texture. It wasn't poorly done or anything but I quickly realised there is literally nothing new here. Unnecessary. Karol

Is that a hint of Lost/Found theme that I hear in Top Slayer? I have mixed feelings about this whole projects but at least there's a new recording of the score. This time, I presume, recorded with the whole orchestra together. You can tell the difference between 2010 Powell and 2025 Powell. He's writing has evolved quite a bit over time and it's nice to hear him tackle the old material with his new skills. To be honest, while the thing in itself is absolutely pointless, the music was adapted and recorded with grace. Will see the film tomorrow... The original film was the very first thing I watched at the cinema after moving to the UK and the soundtrack album was among my first purchased here as well (not sure if it was the first). The series is attached to some emotional stuff from my life so I am a sucker and purchased this first thing this morning. Karol

I would buy Red Heat, definitely. 😀 Karol
