Intrada Soundtrack Forum

I just caught ZATHURA last night. Great popcorn entertainment. And it's refreshing to watch a film with an actual main title. The theme kept reminding me of NIGHT CROSSING, with some Horner-isms thrown in. Still, there was a generic sense to all the music....and I kept thinking, what would Craig Safan have done with this main title?

I've never been a great fan of Debney's but I'm slowly turning and I'd probably rate Zathura nearly my favourite work of his - it's a very entertaining listen with plenty of dynamic action music. The first half of the disc is especially good.

I thought the main title/theme sounded very Goldsmith-like, with a Star Trek type feel to it.

Nice rousing score of the likes of Cutthroat Island.
Haven't seen the movie yet.

If you haven't checked it out, you might really like SEAQUEST. It's a on the short side, but somehow the album is still a great listen. I love his score to HOCUS POCUS, but alas that sucker is nearly impossible to find.[/quote]



I bought Seaquest when it came out years ago, good listen, I loved the show as well.
