@ToprakRecords I don't hear much depth to the music it sounds a bit flat and 2 dimensional ... I am not talking about reverb I am referring to how this is layered and mixed, I know its not mono but in my opinion if this is meant to be Cinematic then it should have a lot more depth and separation along with dif instruments that help compliment and provide what seems to be missing. I am only giving this as my opinion, I am not a movie music composer. But I do know a lot about sound and sound quality as I record and master SFX and have been exposed and listening to music at a very young age, and I love true cinematic scores from the likes of Hans Zimmer and Danny Elfman who are some of my favorites.

Even if I am not an expert, I've watched thousands of films and heard even more music and... I guess I have to agree with @SFXDude. It does sound flat. It lacks that deep, magical vibe that we normally associate with film music. He's not talking about reverb but, personally, I'd add a bit more but, I'm a big sucker for reverb so... take it with a grain or salt. It does sound quite dry. I like the solo cello part in the 1st tune but - to me - it lacks feeling.

I'd add some counterpoint to that melody (1st track), it'd help the track flow better and it would also add some depth. You could also make a longer version (say, 2:30 mins), so the crescendo has more time to breathe and you can introduce more elements (percussions, brass...), go up in the registers....
