This was a very interesting and enjoyable documentary about the history, evolution and current status of film music and scoring. It gives tribute to many pioneers of the genre, composers who either set standards or started new directions. It spends the middle part on some great film composers and their best works (fans of Goldsmith and Williams will be happy for sure) and ends with some modern composers and the newest and latest directions of film scoring. Many details of the demanding processes that take place during the whole score recording and production are also presented during the documentary.
I also liked that it was directed to both casual viewers and more passionate aficionados of film music, though in the latter case many will find omissions and gripes to complain about. In my case, (and the reason I took off 1 point in my rating) is that it didn't have any single mention of Basil Poledouris and Vangelis and hardly mentioned John Barry. These are some of my favorite composers, who I think were also pioneers in their own way and failing to present them is a serious mistake in my opinion.
That said, this is still an amazing documentary that any kind of movie fan or music lover should watch.
