Exodus: Gods and Kings (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the score album to the Ridley Scott-directed 2014 biblical epic film Exodus: Gods and Kings released digitally on December 9, 2014 and in physical formats on December 16, by Sony Masterworks. [1] [2] Featuring original score composed by Spanish composer Alberto Iglesias, and produced by Harry Gregson-Williams, who also composed additional music, the score was recorded at the Abbey Road Studios in London. [3]
Timothy Monger of AllMusic wrote "Iglesias has always brought a classy romanticism to his work and it's highly entertaining to hear him pull out all the stops and work in such a grandiose style". [4] James Southall of Movie Wave described it as "enjoyable" as he felt that "parts of it rise above the generic and have something to offer the more discerning listener". [5] Pete Simons of Synchrotones commented it as "a surprisingly coherent score with plenty of highlights". [6]
Justin Chang of Variety and Stephen Farber of The Hollywood Reporter complimented the score as "vigorous" and "overly bombastic". [7] [8] Drew Taylor of IndieWire called that Iglesias' "histronic" score pumps up to "nearly ear-splitting levels". [9] Catherine Shoard of The Guardian panned the score saying it as "horrendous" and it "serves to neuter even the most human moments". [10]
The score was shortlisted as one among the 114 contenders for the Academy Award for Best Original Score for the 87th Academy Awards but was not nominated. [11]
