Alonso Duralde of The Wrap's comments on the Atlas Shrugged movies are spot on, although I don't think Cmiral's music is bad.
Regardless what one thinks of Rand's philosophy, the films are a huge missed opportunity, as the book is certainly filled with some great antagonists and some great set pieces.
Still, I think Cmiral's music, given the quality of the films he was scoring, is pretty effective.
Considering how the makers of the Atlas Shrugged trilogy are clearly devoted to Rand's book and her philosophy, it's ironic that the end result should be the film equivalent of a quickie novelization. (that the third film was partly financed by Kickstarter is an irony so deep it could rip a hole in the space-time continuum).
I also enjoyed Cmiral's music; if nothing else, it was perhaps the least cheap-feeling aspect of the film. I could actually hear melodies, and acoustic instruments playing.

Now THIS is interesting:
Thomas Newman has collaborated with composer-musician Rick Cox (a soloist on such Newman scores on Revolutionary Road, The Help, and Saving Mr. Banks) on an upcoming, non-film-score album titled 33 WHIRLPOOLS BELOW SOUND, which will be released on the Cold Blue label on October 14th.
Wonder where a bloke can score this, since Amazon has nothing, and doubtful our local soundtrack sellers will carry it.....
Looks like it's 35, not 33. Will fix.
