Pieter Boelen 740 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Every few days I will post a thread on a random score from my collection that we can discuss and rate. I made a playlist on my computer with one track of each score I've got, so by using the random play option, I'll be able to post a truly random score each time. Hopefully this will allow us to discuss some scores that would otherwise never be discussed. Also we can record the rating so that we can create a full list of the ratings given to scores by JWFan.com.Today's score is Apollo 13 by James Horner. Are you familiar with it? What do you like about it? What don't you like about it? How do do you think it works in the film? What are your favourite tracks?So far JWFan has rated:See Soundtrack Ratings by JWFan.com.This web page contains the ratings from all my previous polls as well as those of Blumenkohl's.Final ratings are converted to a 1-10 rating for both rating systems so that they can be compared.

Morlock 11 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Great score. Works wonders in the film. I'm not even as pissed off as most people about the release...I think it's a nice combination of good songs, good dialogue, and good score. Really, a slam sunk for Horner.

Neimoidian 14 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 One of my favourite from Horner. Absolutely 5! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,374 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 The OST is annoying but the promo w/ no songs or dialogue and bonus score tracks is great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent B 337 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I gave it 4 stars. I agree the OST sucks balls compared to the promo. I always hated hearing dialogue with score. If I wanted to do that I'd watch the fracking movie.P.S. FireFox's spell checker sucks... it thinks I misspelled the word dialogue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 You did, fool. It has three silent Zs and another U. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 3,695 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 5 Stars - for the promo that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,211 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Not familiar (enough). Only recall one or two tracks, with a 1:1 clone of Sneakers somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy4 155 Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 4 stars. I love "Re-Entry & Splashdown" is a fantastic track (the original "The Sinking"). When I take the time to listen to the rest of the score, I usually enjoy it a lot. "The Darkside of the Moon" is a very subtle and beautiful piece, as is a lot of that score. But I don't listen to it as much as I should. Maybe I'll change that.And yes, the dialouge is incredibly annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,059 Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 4.5 stars.The original album is annoying with the dialogue. I prefer the Oscar promo. All Systems Go - The Launch is one of Horner's top cues and I love Annie Lennox's vocals at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Apparently I should listen to this more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent B 337 Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 I actually re-listened to the promo since last night and I wish I could change my vote to 5 stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent Hoyt 13 Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Its one of my absolute favorites. 5 stars all the way. I just wish it had a better release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieter Boelen 740 Posted May 17, 2008 Author Share Posted May 17, 2008 I never really liked the tracks much that I did listen to. I should give it another chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Five stars.The promo soundtrack to Apollo 13 was one of the best things I ever bought on eBay. Especially since the DVD version I bought did NOT have the isolated score. Grr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieter Boelen 740 Posted May 20, 2008 Author Share Posted May 20, 2008 I'll go with "I'm not familiar with this score" again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis 245 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 For me a 5 star score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maglorfin 196 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 It's definitely one of Horner's better efforts, but he can do better. I rate it ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
