Man, I'll try to defend the score (again for the 392th time) but because I really love it. I think I know what you find in the theme that may be wierd, is it the second phrase of
The theme that sounds that it plays a note wrong? I think it is the same as his Star Trek theme, where one of the chords sounds off, but I don't know why, I just can't help it but love it! In "Edge of Tomorrowland" and in the great "End Credits" it sounds unpredictable and so cool. But even if the theme doesn't get you, I don't think the themes themselves are what makes the score so great, but how there are performed. It has so much energy and flows so well that I can't help it but smile!
The performances of every theme is so enthusiastic and shameless that makes it great for me. The theme may be simplistic but there is no way that the oschestration and the arrangements can be call amateurish. Every time I listen to it I have a blast, more than Horner's Rocketeer (that I really love). Let me ask.. Don't you get a kick out of "End Credits", "What an Eiffel" or "Tbe Battle Bridgeway" for their sheer energy?
