4.0 out of 5 stars Gets better the more I listen to it!, Oct 18 2005
By filmfan (Canada) - See all my reviews
I'm a HUGE Firefly/Buffy/Angel/Joss Whedon fan, and I was going to pass on this soundtrack because of all the negative reviews on the US Amazon site. HOWEVER, I caved in and bought it as I absolutely LOVED the Serenity movie and wanted to hear the soundtrack for myself.

Like others, I agree that a good chunk of the soundtrack is bombastic orchestral noise (for the battle scenes), BUT the other half is really reminiscent and evocative of the film and some of its moving scenes. Yes, these pieces are short, but really moving, haunting and stirring (basically all the tracks that are not centred around battles, with the exception of track 19 Jayne and Zoe/Final Battle - this one rocks!)

I admit that I wasn't blown away the first time I listened to it, but I've been listening to it a lot more and it's really growing on me - so much so that I find myself humming it throughout the day. A lot of people have compared this to the Firefly tv soundtrack that you can download from the Fox Music site, and I love that soundtrack a lot. However, I'd have to say that Newman's score is a lot more filmic overall than Greg Edmonson's Firefly tv soundtrack. I like them both equally and highly recommend them to fans of Serenity and Firefly.

Bottom line about this soundtrack - when it works, it's awesome. Give it a chance.

Can't stop the signal!

5.0 out of 5 stars Gorramm Shiny!, Sep 15 2006
By Reece "Stay Shiny!" (Calgary, Alberta Canada) - See all my reviews
Big Damn Music! From the first beat until the last... every tune is fantastic. I you love Firefly and Serenity and you'll love this without pause. My only disappointment was the omission of the acoustic version of the Firefly Theme as is played at the end of the credits. I guess that means I'll just have to watch the movie over and over to hear it!!
