Original soundtrack from sci-fi tale, directed by The Brothers Strause, starring Eric Balfour, Scottie Thompson, Brittany Daniel. Matthew Margeson offers tense music with flashes of action, scored for orchestra but coated with heavy dose of reverb, electronic effects. Results are cues that sound not quite orchestral, not quite electronic. Nice idea! Ineffective ending, bare-bones packaging are liabilities. Allan Wilson conducts Slovak National Symphony Orchestra.
