^ I saw "the movie" (I did do some mistake with that copy/paste yesterday,lol)  and I like it.
Probably some scenes could be better if filmed with the lenses that are more wide-angle, imho.

Thank you I appreciate it. I actually shot the footage on a regular camera that has 1080p quality. As far as the wide angle shots, a lot of the shots were purposely shot close up to avoid showing too much of modern day NYC, especially Times Square. I tried where I could to make it as much 1970s as I could. Thanks for the support.

Back to OP:

I just saw Interstellar so I have to give a huge shout out for Hans Zimmer for his years of amazing soundtracks in which he contributed majorly to the success and greatness of many films. His Interstellar soundtrack, however, puts him into a field all by himself: this film wouldn't have been half as good as it was were it not for his incredible contribution--which is mostly his solo work on organ, synths and piano. This, to me, is not only one of the greatest soundtracks ever created but also very truly a prog album. It made me think of Rick Wakeman's performance on "Awaken," The Phantom on his organ in The Phantom of The Opera, mad Captain Nemo (James Mason) in 20,000 Leagues Beneath The Sea and the amazing iconisonography of 2001: A Space Odyssey as well as all of the magic John Williams and James Howard Newton scores--what Blade Runner would be like without Vangelis' artistry.

I look at the list of music and soundtracks to which Hans has contributed and think of how far this Buggles accessory has come! Amazing!

Go see the movie--no: Go experience the movie! You won't regret it!

I agree buddy. I've been a fan of Zimmer's for many years. Have you heard his 1989 score for the movie, BLACK RAIN? It's unbelievable. Love that soundtrack. Tyko Japanese drums bursting with power with some softer passages. It's a 4 part score entitled (A,B,C,D).
Enjoy....if you already haven't. :)
Gimmie my headphones now!!! 🎧🤣

Thanks for the reminder--saw this Michael Douglas vehicle twice in the theaters when it came out. Don't remember the music but I will definitely go back to it.

Was lucky enough to see the Sado Island marathon-running Kodo drummers twice in the 80s. Talk about a powerful, emotional experience! 

Can't wait to go back to Black Rain.

don't know if this has been mentioned already or not but there's a funny scene in American Psycho where Patrick Bateman is explaining how he couldn't understand Genesis until after Gabriel left the band and went on to discuss how good Phil Collins was :)

I think a lot more prog should be used in films, hopefully, the films would do the prog justice.
Just thinking of the first couple Synergy albums, One of a Kind by Bruford, Happy Family's second
album, many Magma albums.....
