Composers will do what the producers tell them. "Lost" isn't a musically driven show, the music is there to reinforce a mood. Dennis McCarthy (ST:TNG) and Mark Snow (X-Files) called it "sonic wallpaper". I liked the "M:I:III" score and thought his first film "The Incredibles" had the best Pixar...
Michael Giacchino (with his M:I:III and "The Incredibles" scores) has shown he will honor the style and feel of the original compositions. M:I:III also showed that audio and visually wise the new "Trek" will be dynamic. Abrams loves anamorphic photography (no Super35 nonsense) and will more...
My opinion as well, however I thought Nemesis was OK. It's definately the weakest of the TNG films though. I also thought Tom Hardy's performance was terrific. Same thing after ST:V happened (DEFINATELY worse for me than Nemesis). People thought the films, especially with the TOS cast, were...
