The audio in Watchmen is amazing. It was well put together. One of the subtle elements of the score that I liked. Was went the Jimi Henderix song”All Along The Watchtower” was playing and just as the spaceship hit the Cliff the guitar bend happen and when they made a cut to both of them walking from the spaceship to the building the lyrics are “To riders were approaching”. I just thought that was some really creative editing. The sound design was very expressive, I like alot of the variations in speed elements.
