Title: A Great, Intense Score
Review: Michael Giacchino, who does the music for J.J. Abrams' TV series LOST and ALIAS, has composed a frenetic, energetic, and emotional score that more than adequately drives the pacing and sets the mood for Abrams' entry in the Mission: Impossible franchise. Anyone familiar with Giacchino's music for ALIAS or his score for Pixar's The Incredibles knows he has a flair for writing music appropriate to this genre. He also does a great job of incorporating some familiar themes from the original Mission: Impossible TV series. Sure, some of it is vaguely derivative (of his own work), but it works for the movie and it's also exciting to listen to on its own.
