cant remember the album overall, but one of the best cues is missing: the thunderous attack to the alien mothership.
don't remember the film either. I think I have to search to see if I still own the CD....
pause...
yup..still do.

The highlight of the movie for me was when the print broke down. Honestly, it's a mess; a terrible, terrible film. The score CD wasn't very interesting either; it's currently in another room waiting to go out of print so I can pick up a few pennies for it off eBay.

I love this movie! And the fact that my wife even loved it tells me I'm not alone in the wilderness. The setup of the four characters and the first hour buildup is exceedingly well done. Kasdan's direction is tight and involving, the winter photography is marvelous, and the acting is great. (Without giving anything away, it's nice that the film makers were able to use Damien Lewis' natural English accent for effect in the film, although some bonehead critics jumped all over this ploy.)
I have a feeling most people bail on it after "the bathroom scene." (There's probably a great psychological dissertation to be written on this by somebody--and not on anal retention!)
The Morgan Freeman character is the one element that is a bit over the top. Nevertheless, I bought into it because the film followed MY prime directive--if you care about the characters, you'll follow them anywhere.
Howards score was extremely effective, and, yes, I too regret the omission of some great cues on the CD, notably the helicopter attack, and that great percussive end title piece.

Good to know i'm not alone. I later read the book and realized the alien origins in humans *ahem* are exactly what King had in mind.

I liked this movie. I didn't see why it got so many bad reviews, it was certainly entertaining enough.

I just saw the movie for the first time. Honestly, I hoped it was better, but I kind of liked it.
Score has some nice moments here and there, but mostly horror stuff.
The end credits has an interesting techno-like theme. Is that one on the album?

Score was fine, but I got rid of the CD years ago.
