Music reviews of A.I. - Artificial Intelligence: Original Motion Picture Score

Music Review: Sub-Par Peformance for Williams
Rating: 4 Stars

John Williams is a master film composer known for his strong themes. You can almost see them with you ears (if you know what I mean). He works mostly with Chris Columbus, George Lucas, and one of my favorite directors, Steven Spielberg.
With Spielberg, he has created some of the most memorable film themes ever, "E.T.", the "Indiana Jones Series", "Jurassic Park" (and the sequel), "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" are only a few examples. Recently, they have been "A.I.", which I am reviewing, and "Minority Report".
Many believed "A.I." to be a flawed film, but I personally didn't think so. I thought it was an incredibly moving and original film; it was a feast for the eyes. I wish I could say the same thing about Williams' score. It was very good, don't get me wrong, I thought it was very good. It was John Williams and I expected much better, but it was a little sub-par for him.
Many said it lacked a theme, but that isn't the case. There were themes, they may not have been as strong and powerful as his other themes, but they were there. There was the "Sibling Rivalry/Who Does Mommy Love More?" theme, heard in its best cover on "Abandoned in the Woods". There was also the "Discovery/New World" theme, heard best in "The Mecha World". Of course, there was a love theme but it wasn't between people attracted to each other, it was for a mother who loved her son, heard in its most impassioned cover on "The Reunion". That was the most incredible scene in the whole movie because David had waited 2,000 years to see his mother again, and he finally did. So, whoever said it lacked a theme, go get your ears cleaned and pay more attention to the speakers.
As with anyone, anywhere in the world, there comes a time to reinvent yourself. Williams' orchestral pieces are classic, but it was here that he successfully worked with electronic beats to give the album a more futuristic feel, heard very well in "The Moon Rising". This song starts out with just strings and brass, and you can hear the synthetic drums in the background. Then it breaks out into an electronica song. People are afraid of change, when, in fact, they should embrace it. John Williams has scored God knows how many films, and now he decides to try something a little more modern. If it sound good and we like listening to it, there is no need to bash Williams.
This album is very good and I do recommend it but there is kind of a downside, the tracks aren't played in chronological order. I would give you a list of how they play in the film but I haven't seen the movie in a while. All I know for sure is portions of "The Mecha World" are played throughout the film and the first song to play is "Cybertronics". Trust me, it's a good album but falls short of John Williams' usual work.
