As a fan of the movie, I couldn't wait to buy this album. As expected, the music was a typical movie soundtrack. The theme of the picture is a melody which profoundly moved me, and this was from E.T. ago. Off course, James Horner has a history of making exceptional movie soundtracks and this one is no different. Especially track 5 gives me goose bumps. I realize that this music can be called cheesy, but as an entertaining and exciting soundtrack it definitely does the trick.
