3.0 out of 5 stars
Suspenseful but unfocused,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Flightplan [Original Score] (Audio CD)
Fans of James Horner get a mixed blessing with this score; on the one hand, it's almost wholly original; aside from a few brief statements of "Brainstorm" in the final track, little of the composer's penchant for recycling his own material is in evidence. On the other hand, the music is very moody, with lots of rumbling bass and pianos but little in the way of melody. Only in the final track is there a hint of a theme, and it's all too brief. The rest of the album is either suspenseful music a la "The Forgotten" (though less minimalistic) or action music a la "Aliens" (though less melodic). For fans of Horner and of the movie only.

Forget those negative comments....,
By NL "nl197" (canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Flightplan [Original Score] (Audio CD)
Those negative comments are pathetic, at best. This score is wonderfully tense, and NOT AT ALL like "The Four Feathers" (which really made no sense in terms of comparison). The cold, atmospheric nature of this music really draws you in, and is both unsettling and highly enjoyable.

Original and Dissonant,
By snowleopard (Oregon) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Flightplan [Original Score] (Audio CD)
Ignore the reviews bashing Horner. Not only is the comparison game getting tired, it isn't even accurate to this score. People who think Horner does nothing but recycle himself (which I admit he does from time to time) should hear this score. While the film is iffy, the score does it justice, and doesn't sound much like anything else he's done. He mixes strings, gamelon, pipe flutes, prepared piano, and some percussive effects, with no brass or woodwinds, for a very dissonant score. I'd give this score 5 stars but for two reasons - I would have liked to heard a bit more recognizable theme, or motifs, as the other reviewer pointed out, and I felt that the score sounded much better in the film than CD to my picky ears. I think the dissonance and coarsness of the score required a more careful attention to the mastering than was perhaps given. Though again, some people may find I'm overly critical here.
Other original sounding scores from Horner of late worth checking out are Iris, House of Sand and Fog, Beyond Borders, and most of New World.
