Naïve Old Fart 9,534 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Start with track 2, then.Expect all the animals and christians eagerly gathering at their local Virgin to pick up the soundtrack album next week."Virgin"?! where have you been, Pub?

publicist 4,643 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 And thus it arrived: After a quick listen i say the song by Mansell and Patti Smith is the best cue, the score proper is a mixture of world music inflections, very dense soundscapes running underneath (mostly RCP/thick low electronically juiced-up celli) and simple melodic constructs a propos modern blockbuster sounds. Though Mansell obviously has a musical journey in mind (listen to the last minute of "Make Thee an Ark") too many cues sound the same, starting small and building into a monochrome wall of sound that only is occasionally broken by more solistic ideas.I hesitate to call it 'lackluster' but terribly distinctive it's not. After last years STOKER, Mansell confirms the old adage that it's awfully hard to produce memorable music in the blockbuster realm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 3,694 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I rather like 'And He Remembered Noah'. I'm sure there some other good tracks if this is seen as a concept album.

crocodile 8,017 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I've not heard the whole thing yet, but it wasn't that bad. Not good, either. A disappointment, sure, but not A terrible tragedy. I'm sure it'll serve the film well. He's got more imagination than many other mpdern composers.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmmusic 1,829 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I don't know if anyone here has seen the movie, but I have not read ANY SINGLE positive comment in my "facebook friends' comments" about this movie!Also i hear they say about people laughing, chattering at the theater etc..And what is this about some Transformers-like creatures?

crocodile 8,017 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I think it might be simply the case of film being mis-advertised and stuff. It's Aronofsky doing a big film after all. It was never to please regular crowd.I might be wrong. Reviews are quite strong so far, though.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Everyone is going in expecting the story from the Bible, but it's Aronofosky's own story. crocodile 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,643 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 It should be a hard sell in the US, where a lot of people traditionally take all this bible stuff dead serious. In fact, i hope Aronofsky isn't sniped or something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hlao-roo 389 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I think people had been salivating over the cinematic possibilities of Genesis 6:1-4 and came away disappointed that the film doesn't feature angels getting it on with Jennifer Connelly and Emma Watson.

King Mark 3,631 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I saw it.It was almost like a LotR movie so it was pretty good. Emma was also good, she nailed the films few emotional moments, and she had more scenes than I thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,368 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I heard it felt REALLY long and had a LOT of people standing around talking, and very little action.

Wojo 2,453 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Noah builds a ship, he takes two of every animal onto the ark, it rains for 960 hours, the rain stops, the ark drifts for a time, Noah sends out birds to find news of land, a dove brings an olive branch, the ark rests on Mount Ararat, the waters recede, the survivors repopulate the earth, and a sandstorm that lasts an entire year buries the ark, if you believe that sort of thing.
