I am with Erik Woods on this one. What a terrible score! I liked what Jóhannsson did with SICARIO but this one has nothing to appeal. The whole experience felt liked sound effects and worst of all it's that some people are taking this as some kind of "intellectuality" thing when it's just noisy. I also thought the film was awful, manipulative at its worst and empty, full of feelings but not emotions actually. Nowadays, Villeneuve and Jóhannsson are untouchables for critics. They are praising everything they do, whatever. It's the most overrated collaboration director/composer of our times and I am bit worried because a lot of "professional" voices in the world are giving them good reviews, not matter what's really on screen! A frustranting experience. This project had a lot of possibilities in storytelling, film music and film director. On paper, I am sure this was a cinematic project with a lot of power. Instead, I have no idea what this movie was about yet. What else is overrated? I have not seen the film, nor will I film in the theatre. I can get with it not being everyone's "cup o' tea" , but The score is freaking amazing! I agree with previous poster. As I listened for the 6-7 time to Arrival and Orphee this weekend. Blade Runner is in most capable hands.

It´s interesting to see that there´s always the same reaction to a project that attracts positive attention. On the one hand the hype, then the counterreaction "why the hype, it´s totally overrated"! As with every work of art one should trust only one´s own perception. And as with every work of art you will either connect with it or not, based on your personal experiences and interests.

I was moved on an emotional level by the film (despite the overuse of the Richter piece), but I do not understand the appeal of Johannsson's score, outside of the "Kangaru" stuff (which is pretty much a Steve Reich trick that also manages to reveal an Interstellar temp track that itself was inspired by Philip Glass). The low-end growling is just more Horn Of Doom bullshit, just like his Falling Down-esque growling in Sicario. Overrated.

I finally saw the film! It was really good. The score fitted the film, but nothing I could listen to outside of the movie.
