James, where do you find large artwork like this? The site seems only to have 300x300 now, much smaller than on their previous site. Thanks for posting this.
Go to any product page and click on the front cover image. It'll bring up a new window with the enlarged cover.
Agreed. This film was excruciatingly abysmal, with the most god awful ending I've seen in a film since Law Abiding Citizen, and even that film couldn't begin to keep up with the level of absurdity the finale of this film possesses.
The second and last film I see from these brothers. They need to stick to VFX because they clearly cannot direct, nor make a picture that's better than garbage.
As for the music? Well, when it's so uninteresting and generic it makes Transformers look like a work of genius by comparison, you know it's a stinker of the highest stench.
The sooner I forget about all things Skyline... the better.
You also think highly of Brian Tyler which Matthew Margeson's score for its entire duration never stops sounding like.
This guy needs to stop aping his friend with the poor man's equivalent, nothing more, and try coming up with something a little more inspired than this recycle job. The lack of creativity on display in this score is even more disheartening than Djawadi's Clash of the Titans. Much more so. I think the difference here seems to be, you happen to enjoy repetition at its worst where I do not.
Oh well, to each his own. I still think this score, like the film, is a failure of the highest magnitude.
At least next year we will get the real version of this film and score.
Saw this film last night.I've first got to say i'm a HUGE Japanese Godzilla fan and love that kind of Apocalyptic-monster- blowing-up-cities type film....but this was unbelievably awful. The reasonably good special effects are wiped out but a truly terrible script and laughable acting with characters you just want to see die so the film will end! And the music....well.... haven't heard it away from the movie but what you could hear behind the visuals sounded like the blandest Harald Kloser/ Trevor Rabin knockoff imaginable. A truly awful experience all round.

I agree the film is one of the worst this year - really Terrible!
It is now out in DVD so for a few dollars, I watched it. Worst dialogue in the world, and yes, the ending was frustrating. On the other hand, I did hear a rather heroic theme during the movie. I thought the music was pretty good. I'd like to see this composer score other films to get a sense of his style.
Just saw the film. Not as bad as some people say, I kind of enjoyed it, bad dialogue and all.
Score by Margeson was nothing special, a few good themes towards the end, and a bit less electronic than the usual Remote Control scores. Nothing I would want on CD really.
Eh.... the movie was junk... fun junk, with some really nifty effects which kept me hooked. But the CD is really fun, big, loud, aggressive stuff...action packed.
The movie is one of those things I have to stop and watch while channel surfing. Just love the look of the movie and those lens flare aliens I really do !
I've seen far worse movies ( I'm looking at you, Sin City ), and really enjoyed the big adventure score sound. So there. Nyah.
I really do !
