Idk why this score didn't generate more acclaim from film music enthusiasts. This is clearly Goldsmith at his prime. This is very original effort but has the best flavorings of some of his most successful scores at the time. I hear throwbacks from Alien, Capricorn One, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Supergirl, & Poltergeist throughout the whole soundtrack. But this is hardly Goldsmith "phoning it in", this was a masterful work.
