Best score EVER?? Best Cinematography?


This is one of my favorite movies. Scientific inaccuracies aside, the cinematography is beautiful, and the score is damn near perfect. I can't think of another movie where the music moved me so much. Near the end where he is manually disengaging the payload from the ship, and they have Cassie's voice over about dreams of falling into the sun, it just gives me chills.

I don't understand why this movie was not more of a hit. I know people take issue with the third act, but I don't know why so many people felt it ruined the movie. It is not a stretch to believe that someone would have a psychotic break in the isolation of space. It is rare for people to develop psychosis after early adulthood, but it does happen. The circumstances would help facilitate a problem that was already brewing.

I had the soundtrack to this playing when I got married... after I read my last rights (!) we walked out (well, dashed out!) to the theme from Rocky :)

The score to this film is nothing short of amazing

Yes and yes. I discovered John Murphy through this movie.

Most of the times I noticed, the score seemed actually really bland and generic. Almost like some elevator music in spots.

I agree whole-heartedly.

I would recommend checking out the soundtracks to "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" and "The Social Network" by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, and to "Ex Machina" by Ben Salisbury & Geoff Barrow if you haven't already as they are also kind of dark and trippy.
