Reception Professional ratings Review scores 'The Second Biggest Apes I've Seen This Month' A 10-minute preview of the film's score was streamed airplay in mid-December 2011 on WQXR-FM and its official website, and few snippets were premiered in late-January. 'ust because you're master of the high seas doesn't mean you can't have a separate theme for the ocean.' Giacchino agreed but suggested a different merger, doing the Mars theme chorally near the end of the film, to accentuate the Therns' apparently inevitable takeover of the planet, an idea Stanton eagerly accepted. With the opening voiceover and battle footage, he had put music from Syriana that sounded 'dire and Middle Eastern and forlorn, like a culture clinging to its nobility.' He suggested something similar to Giacchino as the 'Mars theme', but advised against eventually merging it with Carter's theme. Stanton had used music from Perfume for the Therns he wanted something similarly choral. Stanton also said he wanted the music for Carter to change in a way that reflected his slow acceptance of himself as John Carter of Mars. He told the composer that he wanted the music to reflect the two distinct plans driving the plot: Carter's and the Therns'. Stanton had put in the scratch music, the temporary music used to show what mood he wanted the actual score to reflect, himself rather than delegating that task to an editor as is commonly done.

It’s really impressive, and I think their years at Pixar have really prepped them for this.'

You would think that they had done a hundred of them. You know, his first live-action film Mission: Impossible … You would never know that these guys had never made a live-action film before by watching these movies. In his maiden collaboration with Stanton, who also working on his first live-action film, Giacchino said 'I just had such a great time working with him, and I’m really proud of what he’s done on his first live-action film. However, recording sessions did not began until April 2011, when filming was completed and a lengthy post-production phase began in the middle of the year, while Giacchino also prioritised on other films including Super 8, Cars 2 and Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, releasing that year. In February 2010, Michael Giacchino revealed in an interview he would be scoring the film.
