Thoughts on the score?
Hearing synths took me out. Too modern for a ww1 movie.
shareAgreed 100%. It just came out of the blue and sounded like the synthesizers from close encounters of the third kind
shareClose encounters? It didn't have that effect as something strange, but that effect of some video game soundtracks, like a first person shooter. I was reminded of its tunneling music.
shareYa - I was thinking of Aliens appearing as well.
shareThe synth score was terrible, and completely out of place.
shareI didn't mind the soundtrack. It's a sort of war drum effect. You hear the inevitable drums of war. I kinda liked the risk they took with it.
Now, the pacing of the movie was terrible and ruined an amazing looking film.
It worked very well in "Chariots of Fire", another period film. I'm willing to give it a chance in this one.
shareLoved it, thought it was perfect for the film
shareI liked it. Does not have to be yet another boring orchestra.
shareI thought the score was atrocious. I was flabbergasted to discover that it had won the Oscar.
