Retro Redux: Keanu's Movie Needs To Get The Music Right - Page 2

But it's not just kids that are affected. I was an adult when I first watched the opening moments of the new Star Trek - Next Generation TV series. I hadn't particularly been a huge fan of the original, but decided to try the debut episode of the updated version. It started with a moving and visceral view of deep space, accompanied by some soft, but eerie and unusual musical sounds that gradually built and led into the strong voice of Patrick Stewart. Even before the actual theme song itself started I was hooked.

Through the years a lot of sci-fi films and TV shows have given extra attention to the music — Close Encounters, the Star Wars saga, and many others. I just hope the makers of Keanu's new movie remember to spend some time on the music. I plan to give the movie a try, and sometimes special effects just aren't enough.
