The music



There's lots of reasons to hate this movie. Lousy CGI, appalling writing. But perhaps the most annoying aspect of this flick is the music. The never ending epic music, blasting away, throughout the entire picture. Men pack ice into dead fish with a score more over the top than the climactic reunification scene in a Disney movie about a pet dog finding it's way back to it's boy master.


Music can make or break a film. In this case it made a bad movie unbearable.

Are you dumb, or just ignorant? Because you really don't know anything about film or music if you thought the music in this movie was terrible, putting you in one of the smallest minorities on the planet

the OP is absolutely correct. this is the corniest, most insulting soundtrack, absolutely destroyed the film.

Lmao I just watched this movie and was thinking the same exact thing. Ahhhahaha the music was ridiculous in certain scenes.

The music really was one of the major flaws of the film, because it was constantly telling me how to feel, from beginning to the end. The music put so much weight on the goodbyes at the dock, even the characters seemed to know that they were final.

Overall didn't hate the movie but the music was over the top for sure.

The music ruined this film for me. I've never heard such inappropriate,continuous and loud music 'drowning' a film before.

This film reminded me of a 70s disaster film and the cheesy music was a large part of that, trying to manipulate emotion.

reply

This is accurate, this film was playing in another room today and I could swear it was a Disney movie, I was shocked to find out it was an action/disaster film. The music is so wildly inappropriate and bombastic. The tone is just way off.

reply

Couldn't agree more. The irritating music and hokey acting by the female actors made this quite a cheesy movie.

reply

I agree fully about the music, which I find odd because I love James Horner generally.

How many times did we hear that same six note motif? As many as the waves in the sea...

I beseech ye in the bowels of Christ, think that ye may be mistaken.

I second that statement, on both fronts.
