Extremely loud music cues


What's with the insanely loud music that gets dropped in every so often? Is it like that for all versions? The music doesn't really fit the film, it sounds too different from the rest of the score, like it's been hastily added late in production. It happens so randomly, too; all of a sudden there's this enormous horn section going DUNNN DUNNN DUNNNNN.

Otherwise, fun crazy movie. It's like someone saw The Omen and said "Hmmm, this would be a lot better if it was about aliens and made no fvcking sense."

But that music's awesome!

I’m like 30 minutes in and I came here to see if anyone else had thought the same. Some of this music just doesn’t fit the situation and is extremely over the top.

I have to say that I do love the soundtrack though. I especially like the music during the gymnastics / surgery scene, however I’ll fitting it seems. In fact, the strange out of place score is what makes this film so appealing to me.
