Composer David Arnold (Independence Day, The World Is Not Enough) brings exactly what one would expect to the table for director Roland Emmerich's teleportation-based science fiction tale. By utilizing familiar space motifs in the vein of John Williams and integrating electronics and bits and pieces of Middle Eastern folk music into the Egyptian-themed tale, Arnold dutifully takes the "space opera" to some new vistas, but the overall effect is as familiar as a gun that shoots laser beams instead of bullets.
