This isn't really a comment on the soundtracks of this round themselves. I just think it is a good sign that we already have six soundtracks for the season. And once again, about half of them are good. At this rate, we could end up six or so soundtracks that are actually contenders for the Best Soundtrack GRA (and let's face it, usually there's only a few worthy contenders).
2. Recursion
I liked the idea of Recursion more than I really liked the execution, to be honest. Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence once again had good chemistry with each other, which helped the film tremendously.
1. Attraction/Deception
This was a fairly simple film, especially given that it comes from writer Meirad Tako, the writer of Hotel California and Mr. Earthling. In this case, the simplicity worked.
The first film was okay, but this one makes it look like a masterpiece in comparison. Adapting a musical that didn't get good reviews turns out to not have been worth the risk in this case - even with it being the sequel to a success.
2. Recursion
That's right, Recursion is Number 2 on the Top 3 AND the Bottom 3. The film is a mess. Despite having parts and pieces that worked, overall the film was just too confusing. Maybe that's a problem with the source material. Sometimes a literary source needs to be simplified to help it work on the big screen.
1. Box Office
Not good. Not good at all. Even movies like Mask of the Phantom and Recursion, which both grossed a lot of money at the box office couldn't find a way to turn a profit. I suspect it's going to be a rough season.
