DrGonzo1937: Blade Runner 2049

Aerisavion 10.07.17	Jared Leto as the villain - yes or no?
Drummerboy123 10.07.17	"some love it, some hate it." So basically just like the first one then? The original is my fave film so I've got lofty expectations, never cared for the action so I'm not worried about being bored, I love the world and want to see how it's progressed with some eye candy cinematography. Gonna go see it Sunday.
Papa Universe 10.07.17	Jared Leto is a fine villain. He's interesting and good enough to carry his scenes, but don't expect anything outstandingly impressive. He does his job, but his character is somewhat restricted personality-wise.
StrikeOfTheBeast 10.07.17	Seeing it this Sunday and expecting it to be pretty good at the least. The first was a polarizing classic that has deep themes and gorgeous setpieces.
Papa Universe 10.07.17	And this is a polarising sequel that has deep themes and gorgeous setpieces.
StrikeOfTheBeast 10.07.17	lol Then it's gotta be good.
Keyblade 10.07.17	it was amazing continues and expands on the themes and atmosphere of the first movie while still being a dope standalone film
StrikeOfTheBeast 10.07.17	Now that's how to make a sequel good.
DrGonzo1937 10.07.17	Deep themes? Hardly. It's all pretty shallow imo, nowhere near as deep as the first. Visually it's absolutely gorgeous. As for Leto he was a bit bland. His wing-women was terrifying in it though.
Keyblade 10.07.17	idk I think the themes were even deeper this time with the introduction of joi and the implications on consciousness as well as the whole concept of feelings and memories that we're only briefly touched upon in the first one
Papa Universe 10.07.17	Nobody yet mentioned how amazing a job did Denis Villeneuve do...
Deathconscious 10.07.17	I want to see it bad. If Hollywood is done making original material, they could at least do stuff like this thats its own thing instead of doing all these goddamn remakes.
DrGonzo1937 10.07.17	Agreed. Was relived to see they didn't ram it with awful references as well. If there was any they were done subtly.
Valkoor952 10.07.17	Seeing it in a few hours, pretty excited
Aerisavion 10.07.17	'As for Leto he was a bit bland. His wing-women was terrifying in it though.' The fuck is going on with Leto lately. He was a seriously talented actor a decade ago
DrGonzo1937 10.07.17	Agreed. Although, he went downhill after Dallas Buyers Club imo.
Aerisavion 10.07.17	He was great in Requiem for a Dream. Beautifully horrific movie
DrGonzo1937 10.07.17	Yeah, love that movie; the ending is terrifying. haha
Aerisavion 10.07.17	'the ending is terrifying' [2] There is no happiness to be found there
Deathconscious 10.07.17	he was pretty good in Mr. Nobody as well. love that movie.
DrGonzo1937 10.07.17	I've tried watching that movie about 5 times and I somehow manage to only watch half of it. Will get on it eventually.
DarkSideOfLucca 10.07.17	Hey I was just about to start a thread like this. I didn't think threads opened up for another film, it felt pretty complete to me. A third film would feel weird at this point. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but it's obviously not going to compare to the original which is arguably one of the greatest sci-fi films of all time.
Astral Abortis 10.07.17	I imagine the film will look amazing but I’m also sure it will further destroy the source material. As a lover of the original novel, when I saw the first film I was massively disappointed by how they neutered brilliant story and characterisation with dreamscape unicorns, and I imagine this new film will further make a mess of things
DrGonzo1937 10.07.17	**Spoilers** The loose ends that were unresolved and felt like there was going to be a continuation: Goslin's origin was never fully explained, only hinted at; the Replicant revolution that was about to kick-off; and the fact Leto's character wasn't heard from again after Deckard meets him for the first time. Telling ya, there's loads they could do to make another one. A lot of the topics in the film were only touched on, never fully fleshed out. And though you could say it's left to viewer interpretation, I'm just pointing out a couple of things where they could easily do a third film.
DarkSideOfLucca 10.07.17	@Dr Gonzo - Ah, I totally see what you mean but I don't want those things (except for the revolution maybe) expanded upon. I liked that they were just subtle puzzle pieces for us, but I get how they could make a third one. I just hope they don't. Here are some thoughts for now: ::SPOILERS:: ::SPOILERS:: 1. This movie was gorgeous af. Which didn’t surprise me in the least but I was still blown away by the visuals the entire time. 2. So glad they revealed that Ryan Gosling was a replicant immediately. He made me ache in the best possible way the entire time. I wanted to hug him every minute. 3. An almost absurd amount of red herrings. Like, really. But they totally made you feel just as crushed as K when he realized he wasn’t the one. But the SHARING OF MEMORIES THING, GORGEOUS. TALK ABOUT EMPATHY! 4. The snow at the end vs. the rain. Moments freezing and becoming meaningful instead of fading away. 5. Luv (or Love? idk). Actually wish we got more of her. v much a victim of enslavement as she survived via priding herself on being the best slave. But then you had moments where she was hyper emotional, like when Wall-fuck killed the replicant in front of her. 6. Oh, yah, loved the digital love story. How she seemed to be evolving at a slower rate but still evolved and I think she loved him for real idc what you think 7. The fight scene with the holograms blew my mind. So did the love scene. THE MUSIC WAS GREAT THERE. The old lounge music juxtaposed with industrial yells is like... a Mood™ tbqh 8. Bautista was amazing That's all for now but I have a lot more thoughts
Papa Universe 10.07.17	"The fuck is going on with Leto lately." Oscar happened.
matbla00 10.07.17	It was much much worse than the first one. The whole story was trivialized, simplified, meh. cinematography and soundrack were great nonetheless
matbla00 10.07.17	It was like a synthesis of Blade Runner, Her and chlidren of men
matbla00 10.07.17	Every, already not that subtle thing that you understood already and saw clearly was later on OUTSPOKEN. what am obnoxious narrative for the multitudes
matbla00 10.07.17	I hoped RG dies in that water, but because the screenplay was so bad, he had to live longer
matbla00 10.07.17	the issues of personhood, the soul and human nature were fucked in the ass by villlenueve
matbla00 10.07.17	i liked the darkness and depression though
matbla00 10.07.17	fuck it, i will write a review and link it here
zakalwe 10.07.17	I’ve just watched it and absolutely fucking loved it. K is the Tyrell dream in function. More human than human.
DigitalDawn8937 10.07.17	It was very dope, if you dislike blade runner 2049 you are a hipster cunt who should stop derpin while I am djentin. Ana de Armas was fuckin great. Still it has a lot of elements from her
zakalwe 10.07.17	Was that the replicant nutter bird or the software slag whose fit as fuck!
DigitalDawn8937 10.07.17	Neh was the digital bitch. By the way, most of the people I've seen on IMDB, youtube and rotten tomatoes love that shit, there are very few folks who hated that film
zakalwe 10.07.17	There’s nothing to hate, it’s an amazing follow up to one of the best of all time. Great story, incredible depth, looks and sounds amazing. It’s a classic.
Keyblade 10.07.17	theres definitely enough for a sequel there spoilers we have no idea what happens with Leto's character and dont really have much insight into his ambitions apart from his immediate plans also the aftermath of the reunion of Deckard and his daughter could be very interesting especially with how that ties into the revolutionary replicant group's plans. also we dont really know much about K's origins and that could be a movie in itself spoilers
zakalwe 10.07.17	It’s obviously going to be franchised to fuck. I’d be happy if they left it how it is.
Futures 10.07.17	masterpiece. vilanueve is a visionary. couldn't have asked for anything better. dare i say even better than the original. one of the best looking movies i have ever seen. k's arc was perfect. expands upon everything in the first movie. every performance was phenomenal. but yeah i want them to leave it as is. no need for sequels.
brainmelter 10.07.17	I love the directors work so far so I'll definitely watch this one soon
Futures 10.07.17	oh yeah if you can see this in 2d imax. that is definitely how this should be seen. what an experience
bloc 10.07.17	It was beautifully shot and acted, but I though the movie was very slow. I was tempted to look at my watch several times during the movie.
zaruyache 10.07.17	seeing it tmrw and nothing can kill my hype.
Deathconscious 10.07.17	"It’s obviously going to be franchised to fuck." doubt it. it doesnt look like it did too well in the box office.
Futures 10.07.17	sad this is tanking but i think sony knew that it might and let vilanueve do whatever he wanted to get oscar contention. definitely will win cinematography and some sound stuff. most likely a best picture and director nod but not win.
Keyblade 10.07.17	yea nobody i know wants to see it, i had to watch it myself
Deathconscious 10.07.17	fucking plebs.
matbla00 10.07.17	well it was slow because it was turned into some love story shit; such a disappointment
Keyblade 10.07.17	no it didnt, tf
matbla00 10.07.17	i dk the cinema was full and i bought last couple of seats, but obviously, it will not be a box office hit. the proles aint interested
Futures 10.07.17	what
matbla00 10.07.17	yeah, it did
matbla00 10.07.17	u dont think love was the main theme?
bloc 10.07.17	Also strange how Ford comes like 90 minutes into the movie lol
Deathconscious 10.07.17	its a miracle they allowed this movie to be made the way it sounds like it was.
Keyblade 10.07.17	"u dont think love was the main theme?" not at all and even the love theme was multifaceted. it raises the question of love between humans and AI, whether the feelings felt by an AI are any less real even if they're programmed etc etc
Muppelope 10.07.17	Favorite movie of the year so far, but fell just shy of my admittedly unrealistic expectations.
Satellite 10.07.17	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZOLKwSsFik i was thinking about this vid the whole time. gosling has the charisma of a water cooler. amazing visuals (which really who gives a shit--it's 2017) and little else.
Satellite 10.07.17	oh and the soundtrack + sound design were phenomenal too
Trebor. 10.07.17	I liked it a lot. Denis is a much stronger director than Ridley Scott. I've grown to believe that Blade Runner was lighting in a bottle and not a product of a master director. I'll have to see it again to really judge. It's definitely shallower emotionally than the original. Blade Runner is my favorite movie so I mean of course I'm going to like it more
Deathconscious 10.07.17	i think its more the directors' faults than his own, ive seen him do some real acting and he can fuckin act when hes allowed to.
GhostOfSarcasticBtrd 10.07.17	Drive was really, really good.
Satellite 10.07.17	yeah i loved gosling in drive. he's best when he's playing it more restrained tbh. just didn't work for me in this one.
zakalwe 10.07.17	Drive was style over substance rubbish
GhostOfSarcasticBtrd 10.07.17	It was a really simple story but it worked.
DarkSideOfLucca 10.08.17	Drive was definitely style over substance but the style was so fucking great (music, camera work, awesome death scenes, etc) that it didn't matter.
Deathconscious 10.08.17	Yeah its pretty great. I had to watch it a second time for it to really sink in, probably because i went into it expecting something else.
DrGonzo1937 10.08.17	"Drive was style over substance rubbish" 2049 is mostly style over substance.
zakalwe 10.08.17	Nah. K’s journey to becoming ‘human’ The continuation of the original Bladerunner story The aims of being more human than human in comparison to the Williams corporations aims and ideals. The references to original material, the Kippal, Gaff, Rachel. The theme of memory and what it means to have ‘soul’ It’s a fucking classic.
Keyblade 10.08.17	agreed hard zak k and even joi seem more human than the actual humans. that's the ultimate realization of where the original was going
Valkoor952 10.08.17	Movie was awesome. Today I was even kinda itching to watch it again. The original cut is 4 hours and they'll probably release it later. Can't wait. Oh and btw the synchronization scene was fucking amazing.
zakalwe 10.08.17	I’m glad they didn’t cheapen it by out and out shagging. There were quality set-pieces throughout ‘left-right fire’ Elvis in Vegas fist fight, the more I think about it the more I’m impressed. I’m going to see it again.
Drummerboy123 10.08.17	Just seen it now. Was everything I wanted in a Blade Runner sequel. I don't think it tops the original (as someone else said it's my fave film too) but goddamn does it come close. Incredible acting, sound design, soundtrack and the cinematography is the best I've ever seen in a film. If Roger Deakins doesn't win an oscar for it then there's truly no justice in this world. I liked how the film played on the audience's notion and hope of K being Rachael's son and then ripping the rug from underneath you, making you truly feel K's sense of loss and meaningless when it was actually a daughter and K was just the replicant decoy. His story is truly a tragedy though I do believe Joi did actually love him. It expands on the themes of the first a lot, although naming characters Joi and Luv is a bit on the nose for me. It's a film that stays in your head way after you've watched it and makes you question if love, memory, feeling, soul etc can just be made in a lab. I love that they didn't outright just say Deckard is a replicant but just blurred the lines even more, I hope Tyrell purposefully made Deckard and Rachael to fall in love just to see if replicants could get pregnant. The mirrored ending of the original with K dying in the snow against Roy dying in the rain was a nice touch but i'm ngl I shed a tear when that score came in right at the end, amazing reference to the original. Also that love scene tho...shit had me trippin' ballz. 10/10
zakalwe 10.08.17	Deckard is a replicant. Survived in toxic Vegas for fuck knows how long.
DigitalDawn8937 10.08.17	Deckard is more like a pokemon, like fuckin yoshi, deckard is a poison type pokehomoreplicant lololololol, just like fuckin weezing or arbok, and if you don't know that fact you must be derpin while I am djentin.
Deathconscious 10.08.17	"derpin while I am djentin." I imagine you as a 15 year old.
DigitalDawn8937 10.08.17	Lol adolf, stop being so grumpy. Danielito is the grumpy one fella. Besides most of the stuff I post is not serious
Corney 10.09.17	This movie is better than the original in every way possible. Every frame of this movie is like a piece of art. Superb cinematography and possibly the best use of technology used in any film ever. It stayed true to the original, yet perfected all the flaws of the original. The original is great, but mostly for its production over its story. This film kept similar pacing to the original and never felt dull, as well as, giving an intriguing story and characters. Denis Villeneuve is one of the greatest directors alive today. I hope they give him a remake of Dune to him since Alejandro Jodorowsky never got to do his rendition. Blade Runner 7.5/10 Blade Runner 2049 9/10 possible 10 in the future
Deathconscious 10.09.17	Dune is one remake id actually like to see.
Keyblade 10.09.17	I haven't seen the Lynch movie but yea is love to see a Dune remake. would prolly tank harder than this in the box office tho haha
Futures 10.09.17	idk that much about dune but any film villenueve makes i will be there opening weekend
Jots 10.09.17	first new movie i've enjoyed in a long while
kris. 10.09.17	the more i think about it, this movie might actually be perfect.
Futures 10.09.17	same more i think about it it's the best sequel ever made
kris. 10.09.17	dude yeah like what the fuck
TalonsOfFire 10.09.17	Just saw it. Was even weirder than I was expecting, and the directing, music, cinematography, and visuals in general were incredible. It really got unnerving at times, in a good way, and the ending really tied everything together. Pretty much as perfect as a sequel can get, I knew Villeneuve would come through. Too bad it isn't doing better at the box office, but not exactly surprised.
Keyblade 10.09.17	"idk that much about dune but any film villenueve makes i will be there opening weekend" word, i wasnt even familiar with him before this. i knew about Siccario cuz my brother was raving about it but i never went to see it also u gotta read Dune bro. easily my favorite book ever
Futures 10.09.17	i'll check the book out for sure, seems interesting. you gotta check prisoners and arrival. modern classics. hugh jackman in prisoners is one of the best performances ever.
TalonsOfFire 10.09.17	Prisoners and Arrival are two of my favorite movies of this decade, along with this now. I really need to see his movie Enemy.
Keyblade 10.09.17	oh shit yeah Prisoners i watched that. thats the one where huge jackman locks up some dude he thinks kidnapped his daughter right? fucking intense performance
Futures 10.09.17	yep. one of the most emotionally moving film's i've ever seen.
zakalwe 10.09.17	^ Typical Futures quote. Dune the book is amazing, haven’t seen the film. Arrival is fucking rubbish. Anyway, people saying this betters the original are a bit misguided. The original has molded every single piece of sci-fi that has been created in the last 35yrs. The innovation in that film is a one off, even this sequel still harkens back to it. As a film though this is right up there.
TalonsOfFire 10.09.17	I think lovers of the original who can't get into 2049 should just keep in mind that in the context of modern movies with a budget like this, 2049 is a godsend. It's supposed to be different from the first one, set 30 years in the future and taking that amazing realized world into a bigger direction, since the original is basically a straightforward neo-noir detective story in an amazingly realized sci-fi future. The villain was by far the most interesting character; that movie was all about the atmosphere and mood. 2049 did a great job being its own thing and amplifying the plot and characters, and doing the atmosphere and mood just as well in a different way. If it were more similar to the original, many fans would be complaining that it's just copying it and not being its own thing.
Deathconscious 10.09.17	I still need to read Electric Sheep.
Keyblade 10.09.17	spot on talons
Kalopsia 10.09.17	"same more i think about it it's the best sequel ever made" Empire Strikes Back says hello.
Futures 10.09.17	this is way better
TalonsOfFire 10.09.17	I need to read Electric Sheep too In terms of fantasy/sci-fi this is definitely one of the best sequels ever made, but not better than Empire
Deathconscious 10.09.17	Star Wars is overrated.
TalonsOfFire 10.09.17	The 4 prequel Star Wars films are yes
bloc 10.09.17	"same more i think about it it's the best sequel ever made" "Chill out, dickwad"
mifzal 10.09.17	another Leto cringe-fest. But the movie felt just like the original to me.
kris. 10.09.17	it's gonna be a huge box office bust which is a damn shame
Keyblade 10.09.17	which will probably discourage another sequel :[
mifzal 10.09.17	"2049 is mostly style over substance." no that would be Mother.
Futures 10.09.17	i don't think i would want another sequel this was perfect
mifzal 10.09.17	both movies drag like the lotr movies, can't watch them in one sitting.
GhostOfSarcasticBtrd 10.09.17	Best Villenueve movie remains Sicario (haven't seen 2049 yet tho).
GhostOfSarcasticBtrd 10.09.17	LOTR never drags you scrub nigga.
mifzal 10.09.17	so nobody likes Prisoners?
mifzal 10.09.17	yeah they never drag just make you sleepy and tired
TalonsOfFire 10.09.17	A few users including me said how great Prisoners was further up in the thread
GhostOfSarcasticBtrd 10.09.17	ADD Generation.
Gameofmetal 10.09.17	outside of the obviously stunning visuals and performances I was left pretty uncertain after watching it, but after sitting on it for a couple of days I think it was really good
Keyblade 10.09.17	"i don't think i would want another sequel this was perfect" i really wanna see this universe expanded upon...it's just too interesting to not continue the story. like what implications does reproduction have on the future? will replicants replace humans, or will everyone become a hybrid etc
zakalwe 10.09.17	I have to say the cinema was half full, there was only one person there under the age of 30. Mental.
Futures 10.09.17	about 10 people at my 2d imax showing it was at 1pm but on opening day. so disappointing
kris. 10.09.17	"which will probably discourage another sequel :[" good, i don't want another sequel
Kalopsia 10.09.17	so it seems like reception of the sequel is exactly the same as the original. i found the first one boring, so i'll probably pass on this until i can watch it free somewhere
bloc 10.09.17	Saw this on opening day, last show of the night. There were about 20 people in the theater. As soon as the ending credits kicked in, one guy stood up, threw his 3D glasses on the ground, and walked out lol
TalonsOfFire 10.09.17	My theater was full, never woulda guessed it wasn't doing well in the box office if not for online articles. I'm not sure a sequel to 2049 is that necessary, like do we really need another robot uprising movie
zaruyache 10.09.17	there were five people in our sunday night showing, and three of those five were us :-( Film was v good tho.
zaruyache 10.09.17	There was also talk earlier this year of Villeneuve signing on to do a new Dune adaptation, soooooooo fingers crossed
Kalopsia 10.09.17	probably wouldn't be huge at the box office either, but i'd be more into a Dune remake/sequel than BR2049
Keyblade 10.09.17	imagine a villeneuve dune adaptation, jeeeeeeeeez
zakalwe 10.09.17	It’d need a budget of about 729 trillion
Futures 10.09.17	villenueve is officially attached to dune as of now.
Keyblade 10.09.17	i watched that 2000 miniseries and it was so bad. the cgi was 1970's level lmao imagine dune with the cinematography of 2049
Keyblade 10.09.17	yoooo holy shit it's official
zakalwe 10.09.17	Yeah it would melt my eyes tbh. It’d be like having a bag of spice and mind melding with some hag while riding the back of a worm out in some dry as fuck planet.
zaruyache 10.09.17	idk how you'd stuff all 1000 pages of stuff into a 3 hr movie tho. There's a ton in there.
XingKing 10.09.17	It’d be like having a bag of spice and mind melding with some hag while riding the back of a worm out in some dry as fuck planet [2] For real though, Dune should be at least two films
zaruyache 10.09.17	basically like they'll do for It with young actors/older actors.
mifzal 10.10.17	sorry Dune was NOT a great movie. But i can see why it can have a cult following
neekafat 10.10.17	Just saw it and I really really liked it but I'm still left disappointed It had everything I wanted and just too damn much more
Futures 10.10.17	am i the only one that felt those 3 hours fly by? i was so entranced and engrossed in the world
tempest-- 10.10.17	just when my interest started to wane it picked up again and i was re-invested.
Kalopsia 10.10.17	"sorry Dune was NOT a great movie" did anyone say it was? it's the perfect movie for a remake. remake movies that aren't good. duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh
mifzal 10.10.17	people don't want to remake a movie that wasn't good unless it originally had a rich source material, I can see why fans want a sequel or remake in that regard.
VaxXi 10.10.17	Movie is near perfect in my eyes. Easily some of the best visuals out of a movie in years, not a single shot was boring to look at. The themes of this movie were a lot more tangible than they were in the original Bladerunner, and I think it benefited the movie because of how perfectly complete each new idea was along with the old ideas they expanded upon.
mifzal 10.10.17	having said that no one in their sane mind is going to make another 150+million budget remake of a cult classic again.
Keyblade 10.10.17	is the movie even a cult classic? i think ppl just wanna see a dune adaptation
mifzal 10.10.17	maybe a Netflix movie or series, that could be good
Keyblade 10.10.17	a netflix series would actually be dope
neekafat 10.10.17	4/5 for me
Ovrot 10.10.17	i want to see Villeneuve do the Neuromancer movie I trust him enough after seeing this
Kalopsia 10.10.17	Dune series on HBO instead of any of the needless, stupid GoT spinoffs please
DrGonzo1937 10.10.17	I watched the Final Cut at the weekend, for the first time in about ten years (I prefer the Theatrical and DC), and it was actually pretty coo.
XingKing 10.10.17	A Dune series would absolutely be preferred because there is just too much to the first book to be able to do it justice with one film, but I trust Villeneuve so I'll just have to wait and see. I also just got back from seeing 2049 in IMAX and it was almost a 5. I am in awe of how amazing it was.
Keyblade 10.10.17	first movie in years i actually wanna see again. maybe thursday if it's still there
XingKing 10.10.17	"maybe thursday if it's still there" :'[
Keyblade 10.10.17	they pull tanking movies quick here. i remember i saw All Eyez On Me within the first 5 days...the next day it was gone
Deathconscious 10.10.17	i hate to be that guy, but people are fuckin retarded showing up in droves for Transformers and The Hangover and whatever other horseshit, but then let a movie like this fall by the wayside. makes my inner elitist's blood boil.
DrGonzo1937 10.10.17	Doesn't take much to realise why we go so much dumb shit and remakes these days. You branch out and do something different and get fucked for it.
Keyblade 10.10.17	ppl go to the movies to be entertained/thrilled. transformers and the like are a good source of cheap entertainment (not transformers tho, they suck even looking at it that way) i doubt many ppl who arent already fans of blade runner would be too enthused by a 3 hour philosophical cyberpunk film...despite the trailer's best efforts to make it seem like an action movie lol
XingKing 10.10.17	People really do just want mindless entertainment for an hour and a half. It's a shame but such is life.
Keyblade 10.10.17	wouldn't say it's a shame, I'm the same way. it's good fun especially with other ppl. I prefer watching the more thought provoking/atmospheric movies at home anyway good thing a out 2049 is that it was gorgeous and the soundtrack was dope, so the irony is ppl did miss out on a good cinematic experience
Futures 10.10.17	the actual shame is challenging and thoughtful movies often bomb and that's why we don't get them often. this is a 200 million dollar art film which won't happen again for a while. and that sucks
NorwichScene 10.10.17	Watched it last night, was great although bit too long 8/10
Drummerboy123 10.10.17	I'd say it's more to do with escapism. People want to leave their lives behind for a couple of hours, not be faced with themes of what it means to be human from a 3 hour art film.
XingKing 10.10.17	A 3 hour film about what it means to be human is my escapism.
ryu 10.10.17	Surely this is Roger Deakins year. That was one of the most jaw dropping visual experiences I've ever had in a cinema. There's no Lubezki movies this year anyway so it's a two horse race between Hoyte van Hoytema (Dunkirk) and Deakins. And just as Skyfall was the superior movie to Spectre, you can put that down to Deakins cinematography. Blade Runner 2049 also confirms Villeneuve is a visionary of the highest quality. For a nearly 3 hour movie I was invested visually and emotionally in almost every frame. Can't wait to revisit this world again.
ryu 10.10.17	The fan service and nods to the original Blade Runner were so tastefully done in this movie. You had the audio recordings of the Voight-Kampf tests from 1982, the photos of Rachel from 1982, and then Villeneuve played his ace in the pack when the reveal of that model Rachel came out to Deckard. At first I thought how the fuck are they gonna make the "Finkle is Einhorn" lady look like herself 30 years ago and then as I slowly realised it was a CGI copy of Rachel my mind was tripping the fuck out.
Keyblade 10.10.17	was it CGI? i thought it was just somebody who looked like her dressed in the same outfit. she didnt look 100% like her which is why i thought that. if it was CGI then that is fucking impressive. i had no clue. usually u can tell no matter how well done
bloc 10.10.17	How'd that trillion dollar corporation fuck her clone up by getting the eye colour wrong though? I hope someone was fired for that blunder.
zakalwe 10.10.17	Deckard was taking the piss. I loved that bit.
VaxXi 10.10.17	If it was CG, then we figured out why the budget for the film was so damn high.
XingKing 10.10.17	They cast an actress who looks like Sean Young and then CG'd her face to make it closer. I thought it didn't look 100% Sean Young either, like the shape of the jaw or something was off but when she walked out onscreen, I was mesmerized.
bloc 10.11.17	If the replicants are robots/androids/whatever, why are they made to breathe air? The bad girl wouldn't have drowned at the end then.
zaruyache 10.11.17	she looked noticeably different, but good enough to pass for the film.
zaruyache 10.11.17	also yeah pls someone do an adaptation of Neuromancer. I'm actually reading Count Zero right now.
Taxt 10.11.17	This was the best movie I've seen in the theater in ages. Really great.
Keyblade 10.11.17	"If the replicants are robots/androids/whatever, why are they made to breathe air? The bad girl wouldn't have drowned at the end then." they're made as close to human as possible. so that means with dna and organic-ish body parts etc
bloc 10.11.17	Ah. Still a strange thing to add though.
beefshoes 10.11.17	The original was flawless I think, it and William Gibson's Neuromancer are the best contributions to Cyberpunk in my view (I don't think that it should have a movie), and I just don't see the need for the update.....it didn't end with open ends justifying another chapter.
kris. 10.11.17	ok but still go see 2049 because despite your objections it's a fucking fantastic movie
Gameofmetal 10.11.17	"How'd that trillion dollar corporation fuck her clone up by getting the eye colour wrong though? I hope someone was fired for that blunder." feel like murder might be closer to how they deal with poor employee performance tbh XD
Veldin 10.11.17	Excited to see this. Glad to see SOME peeps are being respectful with spoilers here
Relinquished 10.11.17	"it didn't end with open ends justifying another chapter." it actually was meant to end open-ended. there are different versions.
Futures 10.11.17	ok but still go see 2049 because despite your objections it's a fucking fantastic movie facts
grannypantys 10.11.17	Maybe it is because I saw it in an older theater but I was much less impressed by the landscape visuals in this movie compared to the first one.
XingKing 10.11.17	Saw it in IMAX and it was awe inspiring how beautiful it was.
Keyblade 10.11.17	fuck why am i broke rn, i wanna watch it again
Futures 10.11.17	def seeing it again in 2d imax soon. can't wait. such a dense movie, so much to take in. i wanted to see it again immediately after leaving the first time. i think i will enjoy it even more the 2nd time.
Drummerboy123 10.12.17	I've seen it 3 times now...it gets even better. Seriously this might be my 2nd fave film of all time behind the original...
literallyzach 10.13.17	i saw this last weekend high off my ass in imax and i have to say it was probably my favorite film going experience of the year. jared leto sucked but everything else was so sublime and evocative, i really was shocked how well it worked
hal1ax 10.13.17	Saw it last night. Loved it.
zaruyache 10.13.17	i hope to see it again tmrw. I think I need a second viewing to figure out how I feel about it, and it all looked so pretty idek about paying again.
zakalwe 10.13.17	“Maybe it is because I saw it in an older theater but I was much less impressed by the landscape visuals in this movie compared to the first one.” “i saw this last weekend high off my ass in imax and i have to say it was probably my favorite film going experience of the year. jared leto sucked but everything else was so sublime and evocative, i really was shocked how well it worked” It’s this sort of stuff that makes people think yanks are the biggest bunch of cunts who walk the planet.
DoofusWainwright 10.13.17	This was 10/10 for me, loved it
Rowan5215 10.14.17	finally saw it literally so much better than the original by a matter of degrees; arguably the best sequel in history or at least top 5 phenomenal movie
DoofusWainwright 10.14.17	I prefer it to the original too. Only facet it scores lower in is originality...but you can’t blame a sequel for not being 100% original - that would be a contradiction in terms
smaugman 10.14.17	I really liked it
StrikeOfTheBeast 10.14.17	Excellent film. It felt like an organic introduction to sequels. I might even like it as much as the first, if not a bit more in some aspects.
Rowan5215 10.14.17	literally the only aspect the original has over this is the score imo - really coulda done without the huge Inception BWEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHH noise every few minutes, especially in a film as subtle and beautiful as this. if an alternate cut with El-P's soundtrack ever drops it will become a classic
StrikeOfTheBeast 10.14.17	I think it will become a classic regardless.
NorwichScene 10.14.17	Ana De Armas is stunning. She was fit af in knock, knock and somehow even more beautiful in this
teamster 10.14.17	Stupid question #142 : Do I need to see the original first? Always meant too...
Futures 10.14.17	just watch it. you don't really have to because this can be enjoyed on it's own but you will get a lot more from it if you watch the first.
Drummerboy123 10.14.17	There are some references that will go over your head and some cool callbacks to the original, but it is it's own story. Rachael plays a big part in it though so it's better going in knowing who she is without the film having to explain it.
Valkoor952 10.14.17	I do think you kinda have to watch the first one, to better understand the story.
zaruyache 10.14.17	The reveals might be even better if you don't know who or what Rachael was to the original story, though, so going in cold might even be better. Just got back from my second viewing and I like it a whole lot more now. The super loud soundtrack was still kind of annoying, but otherwise it's a great film.
Deathconscious 02.01.19	i finally got around to this. i loved it. it sucks that it didnt make much money, i would really love more high budget sci fi that doesnt suck.
