I watched that movie two times already. My town happens to inhibit a lot of movie-interested people so I could even watch it in English one time, even though the German dub is quite good. But nothing’s ever as good as the original, so …

 

What I liked was not just the good balance of serious action and genre-breaking humor, but also the soundtrack. Especially what’s also sold as Awesome Mix Vol. 1 as a single album or together with the original score. And it’s interesting to know that this is the first soundtrack ever that reached the top of the US -Billboard charts without even having a single new song in it.

 

From the very beginning when “Come and Get your Love” was played, I fell in love with that soundtrack. The idea of having several rock/pop songs of the 60’s and 70’s in a movie that has a modern science fiction setting, especially the exact choice of songs, might come off as cheesy, but once one hears them and how they are implemented in the movie, the idea seems to be way more original than on first thought.

 

Okay, it’s probably a bit expensive to pay 10$ (or around 10€, yes it’s more expensive in Europe) for forty-five minutes of old songs, but I’m glad I did: It’s totally worth the earworms. Seriously, try to get “I Want You Back” out of your head after that ending scene.

 

But before I spoil any scenes, I can just recommend music-interested people to go to YouTube (multiple uploads by several people; I really like it every time when more “classic” music becomes popular among younger people, even if it’s just because of a movie) and everyone who might still have the chance to watch the movie to do so if you want to do something in your spare time and are still searching for something.

 

It’s a feel good movie.

 

Just like the soundtrack.
