The main theme, "Rey's Theme", was the subject of mass acclaim, with the track reaching 10 million views on YouTube.
The score received critical acclaim, receiving praise for its new themes and use of old ones. The album was released by Walt Disney Records on December 18, 2015, in both digipak CD and digital formats.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is the film score to the 2015 film of the same name composed by John Williams with Williams and William Ross conducting, and Gustavo Dudamel appearing as a "special guest conductor". In fact, the humour (and this is a rather funny movie, remembering that Star Wars isn't all dourness and child murder) in general is excellent - far from just being adorable, BB-8 is freaking hilarious, with lovingly handled, surprisingly physical comedy.Ĭlick next for the second part of the review.Star Wars: The Force Awakens - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Through all this, the explicit references to the classic movies are well measured, played with the right level of awareness and fitting entirely within the world (there's no Han bursting into a room, blasting the place up and screaming "I ALWAYS SHOOT FIRST").
This is that same world we all fell in love with as kids, as epic and expansive with promise as it was when Luke gazed out at that sunset. From the blue establishing sentence making way for bombastic crawling text (possibly the saga's best introduction) to the excellent reintroduction of many an iconic character ("We're home" carries all the required weight), The Force Awakens is as excited as the audience is to be back in that galaxy far, far, away. Abrams has done.įorget the Force, the nostalgia is strong with this one. Is that it?īut, taking a step away from a world where BB-8 is used to sell oranges, isn't that what Episode VII really needed to be? After the mass derision caused by the prequels, Star Wars needed to win back burned fans while also offering up something new and progressive, which is exactly what J.J. After three years of constant build-up following the purchase of Lucasfilm by Disney, a damn-near faultless run of production decisions and carefully-released, deftly-angled trailers, no movie has been subject to such pre-release excitement (or at least since The Phantom Menace), yet the end result is just a rollicking space yarn. A fun, entertaining movie, yes, but still just a big, bombastic two hour cinema experience (and, no, not a patch on the originals).Īnd it's hard to say that isn't a little bit disappointing. It is, as anyone who's never visited the galaxy far, far away (how?) watching the escalating hype for the film would think, just a movie. Does Star Wars: The Force Awakens live up to the hype? Short answer, no.
