The score by James Newton Howard (Waterworld, Vertical Limit) is just as stunning as the movie! There are many topics, countless variations and gorgeous African choirs. Whether heavy or nimble giant predators, the music always adapts to the situation and there are all sorts of moods conveyed; of harmony and calm, to threatening and scary, everything is there! The song of "Orange Blue" to the film, so to speak as a bonus on the CD and fits well with the rest of the soundtrack. Conclusion: Rarely has a score so phenomenal belongs! James Newton Howard has once again proven what he can do and the importance of good music for a movie! The score is an absolute must for fans of John Williams (Star Wars, Jurassic Park), Jerry Goldsmith (Total Recall, Star Trek) and James Horner (The Land Before Time, Braveheart, Apollo 13, Titanic) !!
