That's all right though, I didn't go to see the film. I was more interested in how Hans Zimmer would handle it. It was three hours of sawtooth waveforms. Highly dramatic and cinematic. There's no such thing as bad Zimmer but I'll stick to the original Esper Retirement Edition for my soundtrack needs.

Wow man, I have to disagree. After reading your review, I expected it to be
Escape From L.A. Imagine my surprise when 40% was straight up just dialogue, %40 was an artful rumination on loneliness and desire, and only the remaining 20% was pew-pew punch punch explodey.
Awesome movie. It's like
Equilibrium had a baby with
Eraserhead.
