"A Disney director tried - and failed - to use an AI Hans Zimmer to create a soundtrack".
 
... because there are some things that even AI refuse to do 

That was a very disappointing read considering he used Desplat and Giacchino for his previous films. 
 
And as much as I dislike Zimmer’s output, it’s a slap in the face to him as well.

I apologize for resurrecting this thread a year later but I bought the game upon its released but hadn’t started playing until recently. 
 
I am massively disappointed with the wealth of music Williams wrote, they decided just to stick to certain cues repeatedly used throughout the game as well as using the wrong cues in areas. Plus they had to resort to using additional music by another composer. And of course the music is poorly mixed. I had to turn down the sound effect options to hear the music.
 
The game itself is not as good as I was hoping, mainly for the fact that they blow throw all 9 films rather quickly. There’s too much game play by the computer. And some of the space battles they have are too short, ie asteroid field in TESB or too long, ie Asteroid field in AOTC. Or there’s not enough space battles. 
 
What I do like are the side quests on all the planets, that more than makes up for the shortened film levels.
 
But the animation is great, I’m not to good with heights so the Courescant levels give me butterflies 😂😂

 
And some of the voices are spot on, like Han Solo and older Luke.

"newly discovered master elements" always got me like

Some more attention for James Horner with our next CD release. And it’s a winner. His popular and oft-released score for Roger Corman’s grisly horror presentation, Humanoids From The Deep, comes to you from all-newly discovered master elements, allowing for a premiere presentation of the complete score in crisp and detailed sound! It’s at the beginning of Horner’s illustrious career, but remains one of his more popular freshman efforts. Complete contents and audio samples will be available here shortly. Dive in!

I dunno, it’s been over 30 years since I’ve seen the movie. 

When I was in high school, my girlfriend  loved watching all those low budget, cheesy horror movies.
 
My reaction, “James Horner did the music!!”  😄

Nope. As much as I’m appreciative of the Monsterverse, they have moved away from the tone the 2014 film set. 
 
I welcome the dark, mysterious dread that this film appears to be bringing.

 
Looks to be a bit bigger than the Showa version, closer to Heisei.

Or save that for later and couple it with a re-rec of Rambo III - the other Goldsmith score that's available & expanded, but desperately needs a better performance. That and Lionheart are two of my main wishes for re-recs, along with Bernstein's Hallelujah Trail (lost masters, woefully incomplete album) and Korngold's Captain Blood.

Coming 9/19.

Given his track record, I will definitely contribute.

Elements have never been found anywhere. 

Considering the point was that it's a commentary and satire on Japanese bureaucracy, that things take ages because they have to have a meeting just to have a meeting, that there's about a dozen different confirmations to go through before you actually have confirmation... yes. That's the point. It wouldn't be an effective satire if they skipped all of that.
 
Having said that, I personally don't feel it made the film drag at all, but that's just my opinion.

And this is exactly why I don't comment on stuff I am not interested in anymore. Someone does want them and someone else worked hard on these releases. If I get something I want, good for me. If I don't, I save money. I don't lose in any scenario, only get pleasantly surprised sometimes. These people know exactly what we want and will get it out in due course when (and if) possible.

I happened to be in Tokyo when Toho revealed the design for the new Godzilla -1.0

The article has been corrected since. Apparently that was a mistranslation. It now reads 'following on from Shin Godzilla', which in this context just means that it's another new, live action film rather than being directly related to it. In any case, I cannot see how this would ever have worked as a prequel to Shin Godzilla in the first place, given that film was supposed to have been the first time Godzilla had been seen in that continuity.
 
I don't want a sequel to Shin Godzilla, surprisingly enough. I wouldn't refuse one, if it was done right, but it stands well on its own, as its own thing. I thought the film did exactly what it needed to, given the message it was trying to convey - particularly about the Japanese response to disasters like the 2011 earthquake and tsunami, and the Fukushima disaster.
