"[3] The use of electronic production and samplers, were not invasive as Jackman did not want to lose the primary force of the orchestra, but used in the crucial moments of the film.

[3] Jackman wanted to deviate from the color and instrumentation to look at the fabric of the music, helping to be serious on the narrative and not rely on the texture.

[3] He further added "It was for a moment in the film that had to do with all the crazies trying to come to the rescue, that thematic layer created contrast with the predator focused stuff.

The only negative thing is we feel Jackman uses Silvestri’s themes a little too much, especially since his music for the Predators and particularly the humans is actually quite good and so could have used a little more time on this album.

"[5] James Southall of Movie Wave wrote "The bulk of the score is either action or suspense-bordering-on-action and Jackman keeps things going on at a fast and furious pace most of the time.

The percussion isn't quite as impressive as in Silvestri's two scores (the best main theme performance remains in Predator 2), and the mixing is not quite as expansive as needed for the topic, a problem that plagued Debney's music for the prior film.
