The organ was Nolan's idea BTW. The stopwatch might be his idea too.OVERMAN wrote:I know Nolan probably told Hans: Listen I don't want it to sound Spielbergian, which is good, but you kind of expect Zimmer's initiative to be something like: "Hey, I want to use church organs for your space movie how about that!" not: "lend me your watch, I'll come up with something later"

Look, some listened to this track expecting to get a melodic theme. This track was obviously written for an ACTION sequence. Now, some are judging the whole score on one cue! It's like judging Interstellar based on "Imperfect Lock" which is also a repetitive cue, but it's a brilliant cue because it builds tension and THAT IS THE POINT that some are missing.
Some need to open their horizon a bit, Zimmer can make more classical/conventional scores, but it seems like if he has the freedom to do whatever he wants, he's gonna go in a direction that some won't like. Combine that with Nolan's intent and you get this kind of music. Zimmer proved that a film score isn't just notes and chords, it can also be a world of different sounds that accompany the visuals.
