I finally saw this film yesterday, and I enjoyed it, but I actually found Giacchino's music rubbed me the wrong way almost throughout. The piano theme (carried over from the previous film) was so mawkish and overused, it drove me nuts. (I did think the very Barry-esque music from the early beach scenes was effective.)

Just played the score for the first time.

Really liked it. This could be on par with Star Trek, which I think is his best score I've heard so far.

I started listening to this yesterday but I got a bit bored by it and turned it off which is fairly unusual for me. What makes this score the best for you?

I do typically enjoy his work. I just listened to Lightyear and loved that one (I remembered enjoying it in the film, too)

The themes stand out to me.

Migration and Paradise Found are amazing cues.

For 90 minutes or so, I was enjoying this in the lesser way I enjoyed DAWN (which was a step down from RISE to me, but still enjoyable/involving), but then the whole thing went SOUTH...FAST!!
****SPOILERS!!*****
Like the ground the human base was built upon, holes started being punched into it with alarming frequency!
The human motivation stopped making sense.
The scene with the muck throwing/security guard ranks as the dumbest I've seen all year.
Gollum the monkey (Bad Ape) escapades started to really throw the mood.
The war was a minor skirmish at best, with a few helicopters (badly rendered, at that..one did some barnstorming that would have troubled Top Gun).
Then, Caesar gets shot in the mid-riff (arrow), survives countless explosions, the mother of all avalanches and a mega trek through all terrains, to then, JUST DROP DEAD!!!
At which point, Dr Zaius decides to become all chatty chimp...finally, like they ran out of subtitles!
These lazy final 40 minutes completely ruined what had so far been a well drawn and compelling series.
The music was good though. Really allowed to stand out and carry the film...and yes, Pure John Barry at times.


I forget how I referred to it before but its one of the "Best Awful Movies" Ive ever seen. I totally agree the "war" was a total letdown. Characters can sneak in and out of camp in plain view and are not seen. Caesar getting shot by the arrow in slow-mo was so unintentionally hilarious! My gawd it ruined a great scene! But then you get the scene were Caesar goes in to kill the leader and that is one of the intense dramatic amazing scenes Ive seen in cinema in a long time. Purely movie magic.

Fair. I just listened to those cue and they are good. I didn't make it that far in the album during my first listen.
