Hehe yeah I agree. They took major shortcuts in the storyline, but I’m glad I just discovered it so at least I could enjoy the movie while it happened.

The storytelling just killed it for me. There were too many moments where I was trying to figure out why Cage hadn’t figured it out or, conversely, how Cage knew so much. The only explanation for that, was fuzzy story progression.

When I watched the movie, the score didn’t really stands out like it does when listening to it outside of the movie. That’s fine too, not every score needs to do that. It’s a nice movie though, which I liked immediately. The premise is great, but I agree that the storytelling could be better.

Knowing was a tough movie to get through. I remember thinking the music was as dull and oppressive as the storytelling. I know I’ll never get around to viewing it a second time, but it is interesting how certain scores take on a whole new light when you can focus on them. I’m a visual person, so music, unless completely awkward or phenomenal, will usually escape me in a first viewing.

It certainly is an interesting cue. Have to listen to Jaws one of these days. Not so familiar with it except the main theme.

I believe it’s track 2 that sounds like the JAWS infested waters of John Williams, mashed up with A Saul Bass designed, Hermanan scored titled sequence! Really frantic and the standout cue to my mind!
