Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Even the greatest names in film scoring have occasionally face a dilemma not so different from making a good Thanksgiving dinner: how to stuff a turkey. And not even noted scenery carnivore Robin Williams (playing a household robot who gradually becomes human) could mug his way out of this syrupy Chris Columbus-directed reworking of Pinocchio. Modern maestro James Horner dishes up a serviceable, twinkly score full of swelling strings and quietly "magical" passages; Spielberg-Williams Lite--not to mention a decade or so late. The James Horner-Will Jennings-Celine Dion team responsible for Titanic's "My Heart Will Go On" (and on and on and on) returns here with the decidedly tacked-on "Then You Look at Me." Dion retired immediately thereafter--'nuff said. --Jerry McCulley

5.0 out of 5 stars Very happy with purchase and vendor!!

This CD arrived in a timely fashion, was well packed for shipment. It was in perfect condition and had the original seal (a tear strip) intact on the case to show that it was a new product, not one repackaged for resale. CD was flawless and played perfectly. I am thankful to the vendor for being able to get the CD since the movie "Bicentennial Man" was made in 1999 and older CD original soundtracks are very difficult to find. The music is absolutely uplifting and beautiful and I am indeed fortunate to be able to find and get it. This vendor is one I will definitely use again when the situation arises!!!!

Fast delivery and great packaging. The soundtrack was composed by the same guy that brought you the music in Titanic. Great soundtrack accompanied by a great movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bicentennial Man - Soundtrack
Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2002

If you've seen this movie, the soundtrack is a must have. If you haven't seen the movie, (1) see the movie; (2) see it about 10 more times; (3) get the soundtrack; (4) get the DVD.
In all seriousness, I missed this one at the box office, and it was a mistake. The movie is far and away one of the best ever made, and this soundtrack is equally superb. Another reviewer echoed his sentiments from the perspective of a 19 year old transitioning to a new place in his life. I can echo the sentiments of a 40 year old both looking forward and back on life.
This music renders the emotion and humanity of the story so beautifully. All of the joy, sorrow, triumph and tragedy of the story is vividly captured in the melodies.
It is a trademark Horner composition from beginning to end. Having been a fan of his for some time, the similarities between Bicentennial Man and other works such as Titanic and Deep Impact are obvious. What is equally obvious is the overwhelming sense of emotion and feeling conveyed in this soundtrack.
I highly recommend this to any one who enjoys a good listen.

James Horner wrote some of the most haunting and beautiful music and movie scores. This is a lovely CD and the movie was fantastic with Robin Williams. Celine Dion sings the theme amazingly. Love it. Too bad Horner died in an airplane crash in 2015. Makes this more special!

Overall this is a great CD, with high-quality recordings of great music. I was a little surprised, though, that it doesn't include one of my favorite pieces of music used in the movie: 'Berceuse' from Gabriel Fauré "Dolly Suite", which was used in the scene where Little Miss teaches Andrew to play the piano.

5.0 out of 5 stars Grandioser Score trägt Storyline.
Reviewed in Germany on January 28, 2007

Schwer beeindruckt war ich nicht nur von dem Film sondern auch dem dazugehörigen Score. Neben der gefühlsbetonten Handlung begleitet sie das musikalische Thema durch den ganzen Film. Denn wer von uns hat nicht schon einmal über das ewige Leben philosophiert!

Aber warum geht's überhaupt? Der Roboter Andrew, verkörpert durch Robin Williams, arbeitet im Dienste des Menschen und ist unsterblich. Er gehört zu einer Baureihe von 'NorthAm Robotics', die Roboter in Massenproduktion herstellt. Anfangs ist 'nur eine Maschine' und ein Arbeitstier. Mit der Zeit erforscht er das Menschsein. Je mehr Andrew über die Menschen erfährt, entwickelt er sich von der plumpen Maschine zum Individuum - und erkennt, dass alles Leben einmal ein Ende hat. Die Menschen - seine Familie, für die er einst arbeitete, sterben und er beschließt seine Unsterblichkeit aufzugeben...

FAZIT: Am Ende des Films sind mir dicke Krokodilstränen gekullert, denn der Film getragen durch den grandioses Score hat mich daran erinnert, dass es uns Allen nur vergönnt ist, eine gewisse Zeit auf Erden zu verweilen. Die Zeit die wir leben, wird niemals wiederkehren und wir sollten daher einmal mehr jeden Moment genießen.
