B+ from A.A. Dowd, who I trust more than most. Maybe I will see this after all.

 

2 hour 44 minute running time though. Woof.

I was pleased to see this too, he's usually spot on.

ok fuck you quick reply box, i'm done with you

I'm holding out for Eugene's review.

So he wanted something closer to Vangelis for the score...

  People will be talking about the three-way inter-dimensional sex scene. The sound mix is very detailed and very, very loud — the metallic groans make your eardrums quiver.

 

Now we're talking.

last one of the 3 short films they put out before release (this time an anime version)

I really liked it

Good to hear it's getting good reviews and that its 2 hrs and 44 mins, really looking forward 

Kermode is a great benchmark, he doesn't always get it right in my eyes but as a critic I appreciate his opinions.

His reviews are pretty good at not being too spoilery as well.

Demis Hassabis! Wondered where he ended up after his Republic experiment.

I posted up the soundtrack release details.

  Reveal hidden contents

this isn't a spoiler idk just assuming.

 

 

yeah. that too :)

p.s. i bet he's an android so he removed his eyes to hide the fact

//cause of the redness

I thought he designed the androids though...??? BIG QUESTIONS that it'll take almost 3 hours to answer. 

Vox Media Review (No Spoilers)

If you are already inclined to see Blade Runner 2049, then go for it. Rest assured: It’s not a disaster. It’s the sort of original and stylish film that — if Hollywood is going to insist on resurrecting everything — is actually worth the film it’s printed on.

So, basicaly, 2/10

Well, I only picked that review from the many out there because it has a more balanced appraisal than all the over-the-top reviews I've read elsewhere.

I think the movie will be excel at some things and also be a disappointment in others.

by the way, there are reviews out there that basically say the film is at least an hour too long and offers visual spectacle only to prop up a thin script.

I'm waiting for mark Kermode to weigh in. I'm sure he's already seen it. If it gets the thumbs-up from him then I'll probably go see it.

Review on Friday at 2pm on his radio show.

Liked the review in nytimes

Most revealing bit seems to be this:

  Quote

Which is not something I’m going to explain, at least as far as it relates to the story. The studio has been unusually insistent in its pleas to critics not to reveal plot points. That’s fair enough, but it’s also evidence of how imaginatively impoverished big-budget movies have become. Like any great movie, Mr. Scott’s “Blade Runner” cannot be spoiled. It repays repeated viewing because its mysteries are too deep to be solved and don’t depend on the sequence of events. Mr. Villeneuve’s film, by contrast, is a carefully engineered narrative puzzle, and its power dissipates as the pieces snap into place. As sumptuous and surprising as it is from one scene to the next, it lacks the creative excess, the intriguing opacity and the haunting residue of its predecessor.

 

Going tonight after work, hype!

IMAX ting Friday after work. I hope it’s not shit.
