Reception

Mark Kermode of The Guardian called the score as "thunderously declarative" which "ensures that no manipulative beat is missed". [4] Sonya Alexander of Script wrote "Lorne Balfe and Andrew Kawczynski’s score creates an undercurrent of stealth sonic waves, driving the emotional beats of the film." [5] Justin Lowe of The Hollywood Reporter complimented the score as "engaging", [6] Owen Gilberman of Variety called it as"uplifting". [7] Edward Douglas of Below the Line wrote "Much of the excitement and emotion is driven by the score composed by Lorne Balfe and Andrew Kawczynski, although Blomkamp also uses a wide range of song choices in the storytelling from Black Sabbath (representing Salter) to the Kenny G and Enya that Jann prefers to help him get into the right headspace for getting behind the wheel." [8] Christopher Connor of Movie Marker wrote "Lorne Balfe’s score keeps the sequences on track." [9]
