Was it a Dream? is a good opener and gentle moments such as Elegy work nicely. Graeme Revell delivers the goods in the film, but it isn't the type of music that functions well as an album. This kind of film doesn't need anything notable in the music department plenty of perfunctory atmospheric music for the opening, then building tension and then a bit of action at the denouement. So frustrating when an equally good film could have been made and have some grounding in reality (if you are sad enough to want to know more, mail me). A total eclipse of 3 suns at once is nigh on impossible and the ecology of the planet is totally and utterly implausible. The premise is a bit daft (aren't they all?), but rather annoyingly, it could have been along the same lines using entirely realistic science. Aside from the up and coming Vin Diesel, it stars no big names, but still did moderately well and furthered the argument that Hollywood has simply been dressing up B-movies with an A-list budget and when it makes a throwaway popcorn flick for its own sake, the results are often far more satisfying. David Twohy's B-movie sci-fi, horror flick was a gallant example of using a modest budget to turn out a decently exciting sub-Aliens style action film.
