Times have changed. No more does it look like we're heading into a dirty, dystopian future. Look at the way things appear today. We're getting cleaner. Look at new architecture. Like an Apple store for instance. That is what the future will look like. It won't look like Blade Runner. The future will be cleaner and more utopian looking but I have to admit will remain equally dystopian at it's core. This movie will fail to revive the cyberpunk genre. Which is a shame since the genre is more relevant today than it's ever been. But it needs to evolve. Technology dominates our lives. We're moving closer and closer to an age of transhumanism. But a story about a guy hunting down robots in a grimy city no longer does the trick anymore. It's a dated idea. We need new ideas, not old ones. I'm sure this movie will be average (not awful, and nowhere near great). I'll probably go see it, albeit not excitedly so. But it won't impact our society in any way. Movies aren't really accomplishing that right now as a whole. Science fiction is stagnant, it needs to move forward. That's all I gotta say.

I remember that A.I. movie with the kid from the early 00s made you think. Now it's just all derp and doesn't have that feeling of deep thought anymore.
>minorities represent the majority
I put so much effort into this thread just to get posts like this, wtf. White men and women are still going strong. Deal with it.
A.I. was okay compared to the crap coming out now.
>We need new ideas, not old ones.
It's funny, how do you create new ideas in an age where everything is posted online constantly, causing us to look back into the past in order for us to feel like we remember anything?
World Of Tomorrow had a great gag where, in the future, you can look to any point in the past you like, but everyone's obsessed with looking at screens of themselves looking at screens. I feel like if we don't try and make some form of change, we're either headed into that kind of future or a Fallout kind of future.

Be a creative individual for one. We, at this point in time, have more source material to take from than any other generation in human history. Think about that.
It's gonna be pretty weird watching future movies in the future. I hope they're gonna be good or else it'd be Idiocracy.

new ip please
Is this a quote from someone or your own musings?
If this is a quote from Ridley Scott or someone this movie is kill for me cause I haven't read a more wrongheaded view of what a sequel to Blade Runner should be like than this.
Either new ip or something based on an obscure book or story. After all, Blade Runner and Total Recall werent original ideas. They were based on short stories.
Plenty more PKD to mine. Where's my Autofac?
Cyberpunk has always been ultra-niche, though.
