TwiLekJedi posted:I never read this thread before seeing the movie, but now that I did, I must only lol - every movie I thought of while hearing parts of the score was mentioned on the first page Though Rock, Batman Begins and Terminator were what I thought to be the most prominent ones. Only... Terminator? Why that??
Jedi_Keiran_Halcyon posted:Just a hunch, but I'd guess this is a case of the onscreen action making the cue seem much better than it is. Generic and repetitive as the Media Ventures stuff is, it generally works. The MV guys keep getting hired because, although their compositions have the musical nutritious value of cigarettes, they DO pump the adrenaline in a generic way. I think that for a lot of people, the Transformers flying to Earth was going to be an exciting, emotional experience regardless of what music was attached. It so happens that the Jablonsky cue is what was used, so that became inextricably attached to the emotional content of that scene.
