Blade Runner 2049

Seeing this tomorrow and avoiding everyones thoughts until then

I'm booked to see this next Wednesday, perfect seat in what will be a mostly empty theatre.

Trying to avoid spoilers in this thread.

There were some absolutely gorgeous, monumental shots within a pretty lackluster plot line and drawn out screen time. All that detective work felt utterly pointless for such a small payoff. I liked the score and how it was used unconventionally. I kept oscillating between being half bored and being gobsmacked

lol

Just watched it 3 min ago... Wasnt that bad at all. Some things were overly explained, to make sure that sub-60-iq-ppl can understand it too.

One more thing, fakn leto... No. No. Nooo

Ost, too agresive, cant remember a single melody besides vangelis one at the end.

Overall, 7.7/10

yeah, i'm actually pretty optimistic. i don't believe it's going to be awesome. but not as bad as i'd expected. which was another turd of fan-service without a hint of an interesting plot. but there might be an actual plot in here.

 

Chances are the plot will be typical contrived "elaboration" that desperately tries to add something to the original to justify the sequel's existence, but ends up contradicting or at best ruining some of the mystery of the original instead. Hard to escape that.

 

But my real fear has nothing to do with plot, it's that this movie will copy the aesthetic of the original only very superficially and completely miss what made Blade Runner great.

 

I'm an ass, and this movie is very, very good.

It does predictably add a bunch of typical sequel-y contrivance (a dozen extra layers to the story, surprises, twists) but in no way is it just a twist movie or some shallow attempt at recreating Blade Runner. It's a true continuation, and I am already thinking about diving in again for another two and a half hours next week.

i saw this again in some kind of dolby atmos theater and the seats were literally vibrating to the point that i couldn't focus on the movie at all. it felt like star tours. 

The only IMAX theatre we have around here is showing it in 3D only so I ended up seeing it in a small and near empty local auditorium, which felt about right. Good enough to give me goosebumps with some shots but never too much.

Next time I have to remember to drink less water though. That scene near the end where they're almost drowning? I almost pissed myself into 4D cinema there.

Movie was excellent for 2 hours 10 min, then Harrison Ford's character shows up and it lost me.

Worth the cinema trip tho, it's a technical masterpiece.

Will probably go see this on Monday early afternoon. I prefer big screen experiences in near-empty theatres.

same.

I liked it, but god yeah did Leto's dialogue suck ass. He showed up in 2 scenes playing a total psychotic idiot.

booked my place for the 2D waterloo Imax for the 17th at 10am (I also like big emptyish theatres...and I'll be wide awake and stone cold sober, and therefore not getting, or imagining the urge for a huge piss after the first 20 minutes)

the reviews and friends who've seen it has sharply piqued my interest 

‘Blade Runner 2049’ Sputters at the Domestic Box Office

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/08/movies/blade-runner-2049-box-office.html?partner=rss&emc=rss

LOS ANGELES — The expensive science-fiction sequel “Blade Runner 2049” collapsed at the North American box office over the weekend, taking in $31.5 million, or roughly 30 percent less than analysts had expected, as younger audiences and women failed to materialize in sizable numbers.

I really really enjoyed it. Parts of it were a bit filler but overall I thought it was quite profound and thought provoking. :)

Your link didn't work. But you're excited. You're 40 something. Looking to connect with fellow 40 somethings and go a little gooey oohey. with the Nexus 9 Beerwolf model you'll have a friend for life. Just know what to expect with a model with an outdated capacitor, you have to power it down to remove all power from the system and then reset it, you get the best from it to reset it. It has a real argumentative character which is akin to arguing with Wallace's own cwn MSV FGT model 1.2. A cunt of a machine which should have been set on fire at birth.

damn you lit him up

what are blade runner feels

Lush gif. Did you make it?

I don't think anyone's posted this yet. They both thought it was better than the original, but neither of them had big boners over the original anyway so...spoilers about 10 minutes in. Oh and I don't think they mentioned the music even once. 

Also why hasn't Schlitze been banhammered yet?

they're spot on

^ yup, watched it this morning. Agreed.

Saw it, liked it a lot. Score was unmemorable and a few scenes could've been trimmed, but overall it was impressive

I'm not even going to bother reading any of the negative reviews which I'm sure exist for this movie

I have to admit there are things I didn't like.  Such as...

But apart from that I loved it and think it was great.  You can't expect too much from multimillion dollar movies that are expected to appeal to the masses, but this is a MILLION times better than I expected it to be and was great.  Though the visuals were kind of boring in comparison to the original but I think that can be said for every modern movie since they overuse computers nowadays.  Also the music was not as good as the original clearly

Anyway I rate very highly and suggest you go in without a negative attitude
