Here are my picks for best fantasy/science fiction film score release of 2008.
5. The Day the Earth Stood Still (Tyler Bates)

| [asa default3]B001JKYGYG[/asa] |
An interesting score by Tyler Bates. It’s experimental at times, but has some good theme work.
4. The Spiderwick Chronicles (James Horner)

| [asa default3]B00120H3RU[/asa] |
A slightly disappointing James Horner score if you really like him like I do. Still one of the year’s best in fantasy.
3. Journey to the Center of the Earth (Andrew Lockington)
A fun and entertaining score by Andrew Lockington who also did City of Ember.
2. The Forbidden Kingdom (David Buckley)

Entertainment is the name of the game and this Chinese sounding fantasy movie score has you entertained from start to finish.
1. The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (Harry Gregson-Williams)
| [asa facts]B0015HZAP2[/asa] |
| [asa default3]B0015HZAP2[/asa] |
What can you say about Harry Gregson-Williams? He always seems to get it right, at least part of it and with the sequel to the first Narnia movie, he goes for a darker, more moody score which works and sounds great!
