I've definitely mentioned it somewhere on this blog, but it really cannot be stated enough. The final act is so immensely disappointing. And yes, once those single frames started flashing, I had a feeling I was in for some freaky (and terrible, based on other impressions) stuff.

I watched Sunshine based on this awesome song and it f-ed me up. I thought it was going to be some sci-fi action movie and instead it turned out into a slasher/monster movie. But that wasn't the scary part. The single frames of CRAZY FACE flashing during quiet times are freaky! GD-it. I watched Sunshine based on this awesome song and it f-ed me up.

It's not The Fountain or TRON: Legacy soundtrack. It’s an OK soundtrack, but this is easily the standout. It’s not The Fountain or TRON: Legacy soundtrack.

If you haven't, then I'd understand not having heard it or not making particular note of it, especially since I think we're only at the beginning of its overuse in trailers and TV shows.

Adagio in Dm sounds familiar, but luckily I can't pair any movie scene or trailer for it, so maybe I just don't watch enough TV these days. I really liked Lux Aeterna in Requiem and thought it matched the movie really well but I'm with you in the overuse in trailers. When I hear it, I just keep thinking the trailer's some parody now.
