Trent B 337 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I'm cautiously optimistic about the film but for the score not so much. The original film AND score are one of my favorites (especially Arnold's score) and it'll be hard to top it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeallen01 2,136 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I didn't think there were that many ships. I thought it was only a dozen or so and they leveled mostly the capitals. That would only be 200 million or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 How about the devastation of infrastructure? Food supplies? A healthcare system. I would assume many hundreds of millions would have died in the aftermath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinAR 1,949 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 There were 36 ships and they leveled 108 cities worldwide. That would account for at least a billion and the other two died of disease and famine. Like I said 20 years would not be enough time to rebuild and to reverse engineer.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Doesn't sound horrible, but nothing remarkable either. Any snippet of action music of a similar length (or less) from Arnold's score wipes the floor with Wanker's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 A film composer in their position would be better advised not to mimic Arnold, instead draw inspiration from Williams, Barry and Horner. The first ID4 score is like an amalgam of their styles rolled in to one gargantuan work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,349 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Sounds alright, I won't be too judgemental until I see the film. Although we'd all prefer Arnold was back doing the damn thing (as he bloody well should), at least they're continuing/emulating his "sound" and not going down... that path... with this score, like all the promotional material has. This sounds big and brassy, just as any respectable ID4 score should. Wanker and Kloser know the footsteps they're following in and don't appear to be shying away from Arnold's style. Emmerich might be a lot of things but, unlike most modern directors, he isn't afraid of music to play a part in the storytelling and not relegate it to glorified wallpaper. He loves the orchestra and has no qualms with big musical statements. After all, he's worked with Williams, so the man clearly has good taste.

That brass at 0:10-0:15 does sound like a simplified down version of Arnold's theme for the Aliens. So I guess they're sticking with the big brass statements of Arnold's overall score. So the question is; why try to follow Arnold? Why not just bloody bring him back for it? Still frustrates me why they never even asked him.

ID4 is one of those longer flicks where you're aware of its length, but it never seems to drag. So many 2+ hour movies in recent history just seem to drag on and on for 30-45 minutes after they've already lost steam and I've stopped caring, especially Christopher Nolan films.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 The extended version of ID4 is a bizarre exercise in redundancy. None of the new scenes or moments add anything. In fact, I think they hurt the film. Troy's illness isn't necessary, Julius about to run into incoming traffic was stoopid, that insert of Julius admiring the Oval Office and David throwing a quip at him made interrupted the flow of the sequence and made it seem too casual as if it's a B-roll insert, Data showing Ian the interior of the attacker slows the movie to a grinding halt, that last "we'll both die virgins" made even me cringe. And yet some people think this is the better version! I'm like "what?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
