I really enjoyed the movie August Rush, mostly because of the music. That's why I bought this CD. I've enjoyed it so far- it has a wide variety of musical genres on it. It reminds you of the movie and some of the songs are really moving. I recommend it for anyone who really enjoyed the movie. Free Music Review: Autumn Rush Review
Hit: 5 Stars
I am a movie and music lover and this was a special treat to me. I always appreciate how music enhances a movie but in this case it was such a part of the movie we had to get the sound tract and the movie. I loved the whole idea of the movie, and didn't care if it was predictable. I think it was well done, had a great cast and was a breath of fresh air in a world were nothing is left to the imagination anymore.Free Music Review: Beautiful and uplifting soundtrack
Hit: 5 Stars
I have listened to this soundtrack every day for weeks now! I love it! I looked up the lyrics online so that I can better sing along :)) The music is uplifting and beautifully performed. I think it is great that Jonathan did his own singing, what a strong and passionate voice! And loved that Leon Thomas III did his own singing as well as the other young woman, what powerful and sweet voices for someone so young. The music fit perfectly with the movie. I also loved how the classical pieces flowed into the rock songs. The music really was a plot point in itself. The guitar playing was outstanding as well. Very inspirational!!!!Free Music Review: Great Soundtrack
Hit: 5 Stars
I bought the DVD & CD after reading great things about the movie & soundtrack so when I heard the CD thought it was overated at first till I heard it again and now I think is well done with a Great Soundtrack .Free Music Review: Missing the score!?
Hit: 2 Stars
Now I know this is titled "Music From The Motion Picture," but one would think that that would include at least PARTS of the score, such as recurring main themes, etc. While a good "soundtrack," this is missing most of Mark Mancina's heartwarming score, which in my opinion was the best thing about the movie apart from the story. I don't know why nowadays soundtrack producers tend to leave out some of the most vital and emotional music in a film, just to put in the main highlights and songs. While I do enjoy the tracks on this album, it feels empty without the rest. For instance, when I first saw the film, I was blown away emotionally by the orchestral score, and remembered one particular section which utilized the celesta (I think). I found an audio clip on Mr. Mancina's official site, where it was called "Arpeggio Intro." The clip was only a minute or two long, and was one of the greatest moments in the whole film. It was used when Louis leaves August in the park, later when the man finds August's picture on the floor (and makes the connection that Evan Taylor is August Rush), and transitioning into the scene where the little girl in the church and her father discuss praying for August. Truly a touching moment in the film, as well as in the music, yet the producers couldn't find the time or money to stick it in the soundtrack? This makes no sense to me whatsoever. The score is JUST as important as the rest of the music, and I find it quite saddening that Hollywood nowadays wants to exclude classical music so much from society that they can't even include it in a soundtrack, where it played a major role in the story. Other than that, the songs on this are all good, and if that's the reason you want the soundtrack, then by all means, go ahead and buy it. but if you're looking from the orchestral score side of things, please know that this is very, very, very incomplete.
