Title: Another fine entry
Review: James Horner is one of the finest (if not THE finest) composer of the past two decades. His score for Bicentennial Man is fantastic, providing you have not been closely following his history. The score occasionally sounds somewhat similar to pieces used in An American Tail: Fievel Goes West and Braveheart, and one other film I cannot remember as I type this. However, these are fine scores, and their placements in the film truly push the emotional effect on the audience to their limits, and then some. The intro score is a perfect way to begin the movie, especially because at the core, the movie is a humanistic sci-fi flick. And the final piece, leading into Celine Dion's Then You Look At Me, is so speechlessly done that it's probably the best lead-in for a finale theme song in any movie in the past few years. Its underscoring leading into the song is right on the money. If you were moved by Bicentennial Man, this comes highly recommended.
