Went to the theater this weekend with the kids. They loved the movie. I enjoyed it as well, there was nothing really bad, except already outdated real world references. I really love the soundtrack, and it was great to see visuals to accompagny it. The art style is incredible!

The humour of this film will age incredibly badly. Not all of it but some of those references-'yikes' as the kids would say. But otherwise it's clearly well made with some passion and creativity. The score was at times incredible,worth the price of the ticket by itself tbh.Originally Posted by PhoenixML

Heh, as someone who grew up watching Looney Tunes and Merry Melodies originals as reruns in the 80s, I can assure you that outdated pop culture and celebrity references might not get in the way like you might think. It's also funny in retrospect to think about all the pseudo-surfer lingo being slung by 90s TMNT despite being set in New York.

Sooo... any word on a physical release? or is this one going to be digital only?

nin twitter just retweeted info about a fever ray video but there's still no info about the tmnt score - im starting to think theyre not saying anything because they know it will cause a shitstorm among all those "omg trent sold out" """fans"""

I figured they were well past being worried about crap like ‘selling out’ when they did Soul. Which I love, by the way.

I went and watched the movie this past Sunday and it was awesome! I saw it in some theater with 7.1 Surround Sound. After the movie ended there is a fun to watch credit roll, then some more film and then additional credits. The best part is the second half of the credits. It was a few songs from the soundtrack at full volume and in that awesome surround sound. It ruled for sure and was totally worth sticking around until the very end.

As theorized earlier, they could be showing solidarity with ongoing SAG-AFTRA and WGA labour actions by not promoting it actively.

This is a very good theory.

Saw the movie today - TMNT passed me by when I was young, I was just a bit too old - and really enjoyed it. Loved the graphical style and the sense of humour and was surprised by how prominent the Trent & Atticus score was. It worked really well as a match for the animation and atmosphere and also alongside the hip hop soundtrack.

This must be their most NIN-tinged score to date.

Odd question about soundtracks/scores as a whole: why aren't the songs arranged in the order that the movie has them? Wouldn't that make more sense? I only ask because I wanted to try to put together a 'complete' soundtrack playlist with the score and the songs and I found that it's harder than I thought.

Maybe they were going for album flow over timeline placement? Some tracks are in order though.
Active Member
Some of them are, but some are put together based on how the tracks flow together. Trent & Atticus seem to prefer the latter overall.

Plus some tracks may appear in the movie multiple times and some don't appear at all, so keeping the music in movie order would be troublesome.

Just watched the film last night, really enjoyed it, even more so than Across the Spiderverse, this one made me laugh quite a bit more (it helped me that the lady sitting next to me was laughing out loud, so she kind of pumped me to laugh louder). My cinema had good sound, our boys’ music made the seats rumble!

Took my 7 yr old daughter to see it today - we really enjoyed it! She wants to go and see it again.

saw it yesterday for $4 cinema day and yeah, this tracks. I heard one of the turtles say something about their "rizz"? the vomit scene was one I could see Seth pushing for to be as long as it was and for it to come back.
speaking of the vomit, why were the turtles bullying her for that? it was a weird juxtaposition to what the movie had shown us up to that point.
The film was pretty good overall, the score worked really well for most of the scenes. The only complaint I would have is that the theater was dark, I just watched a couple trailers again and the art style is so bright in those, very odd.

This ultra sucks because between this and The Killer (and potentially Challengers if it drags out that long) I really want to hear the interviews about these scores. That and they deserve the recognition. But the solidarity is far more important.

Mutant Mayhem is getting a spin-off game, although no mention of whether it will use music from the film - hope it does, as think a lot of those tracks would work well.

Both the movie and the soundtrack were very enjoyable. It wasn't Spider-Verse, but it wasn't trying to be, either. It was just a silly, campy, goofy, breezy, fun flick. Looked beautiful, too. Sadly they only screened it with a Greek dub, but it was well done.
