There are many words I would use to describe Zimmer, both good and bad, but "innovative" is definitely not on the list. He is quite derivative.
I felt that, for the majority of this film, the score didn't really seem to fit. There were moments when it was perfect (most of the space sequences), but a lot of it didn't really seem to add... anything. It was just kinda there. Was one of his weaker soundtracks.
