Customer Reviews
Loved Movie..so I bought the score
First and foremost, I thought the Abyss was a great movie, visually stunning. Another aspect of this fantastic movie was the score, which made certain scenes that much better. At times, the score was better than a scene. Alan Silvestri is a maestro, and this was one of his better works. I strongly recommend it to people who are fans of movie scores. This is one purchase you must have.
the end is pretty good
Buy this CD for tracks 11, 12, and 13. The finale of the score is amazing, with a powerful build-up of the choir and orchestra. The rest of the score, sadly, is a waste of time. Track 1 rips off the main title to James Horner's BRAINSTORM, before settling into a repetitive percussion motif. Tracks 3 and 7 are merely recycled from Silvestri's PREDATOR score. Everything else is simply synth droning and boring "atmosphere" music. If it weren't for the last ten minutes of the score, I would sell this disc.
Not for everyone
This is just my style of soundtrack. Before the movie was over, I already wanted the score. Some people may not like it because there are parts that may be more sound effects than melodic material, but it creates a great atmospheric soundscape for the unknown regions of the abyss. There is , however, a very elegant and orchestral/choral piece that powerfully builds up to a climax of cosmic proportions. If you like this you may also like the Alien 3 and Contact soundtracks.
