Will Tasker 21 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I legitimately like Giacchino's early stuff A LOT - but something happened after he worked on Lost where his orchestrations became annoyingly simple? Or lacking in some sort of orchestral building somehow. A perfect example is Speed Racer, which has these incredible moments of melody and ideas - but lack because they're lacking in either counterpoint or harmony.His Star Trek stuff (which I'm not a fan of at all) also sounds a bit too much like late Horner to me. Jupiter Ascending was a few steps in the right direction.His Apes score wasn't bad but I don't remember a damn thing about it (or the movie) either.

Jay 37,369 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I actually think this could be a good score. While I felt the Rise score was overlong, with many cues not doing much for me, the ones with the good themes were great, and if those are embellished here with some new ones we could have a more focused and pretty kick ass war / action score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max 141 Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 War for the Planet of the Apes begins recording tomorrow!! This is probably my most anticipated 2017 score from Giacchino. I can't wait to hear him build upon his themes from Dawn (which I listened to earlier today) and to hear what new themes he's written! leeallen01 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,369 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Hmmm I dunno; I liked the Dawn score too, and look forward to War, but I think I'm much more excited to see what Book of Henry is all about, and his Spider-man score might harken back to his more fun older scores instead of the more serious ones he's had to do lately. I mean, Doctor Strange is a comic book movie but the score doesn't really contain a lot of fun or whimsy at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeallen01 2,136 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 The film looks like a piece of art. I'm sure you could freeze frame many shots from the film and hang it up on the wall. I get chills watching those effect shots from Dawn, and I'm sure this will even exceed that. Looking forward to the score greatly. Big fan of Doyle's Rise and Giacchino's Dawn scores. And will be happy to hear Giacchino's minimalist and tribal approach carry over from Dawn into War. Just now, BloodBoal said: Well, looks like they took this score seriously... Here you go.

leeallen01 2,136 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 1) They make money. 2) Some people enjoy them. 3) They are good films which are reviewed highly. 4) They are stunning shows of what CGI can achieve. And they use it for storytelling, not 2 hours of explosions. 5) They advance film-making technology. With today's blockbuster, you are lucky to get one of those things.

Will 2,215 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I haven't seen any of these films. War looks solid from the teaser. Sounds like a Michael Crichton story, which I always love (albeit without the awesome lengthy philosophical/scientific discussion in a Crichton book, I presume).

There should never have been anything beyond the very fine original. Much like Jurassic Park, this is one of those series where literally only the original film is worth a damn. No sequels should have been made in either case. EDIT: I assumed by "very fine original" you mean the 1968 film, but I now realize you could have meant the 2009 reboot since it's the "original" in this current series.
