Already seen it twice, one of my favourite films of all time already.
also see it in imax

planning of dragging in every friend and family member I can, movie blew me away

2/5
Glossy.
Also contrived, bleak and without charm, almost devoid of ideas and not confident in the few it does play around with, leaving absolutely nothing to the imagination. My biggest gripe, however, is that it leaves the existentialism of the first in favor of an essentialist outlook which is completely uninteresting and oddly dated in a time when A.I. is a very hot topic. The political dimension of the story is force-fed to us and then left in the dust.

Lifeless. That’s the word I’m looking for.

Armondo White is right too

Saw it in IMAX, looked just like OP's jpg.

This pasta is at room temperature right now. Not stale yet.

>leaves the existentialism of the first in favor of an essentialist outlook

I know this is copypasta but that's not true.

went once with normie friends
they wouldnt STFU and stop texting and joking around
went again alone
then once more with my grandpa and sister.
saying its good is an understatement

Nice pasta. Also,
>Armond White
Into the trash your post goes

Don't care to see it. First blade runner was boring pretentious shit.

>DUDE CINEMATOGRAPHY LMAO
>Nolan tier smarts
>an hour too long

6/10

Denis confirmed my suspicion that he's a hack, a useful tool for studios to trot out to say "Hey, we're making art house!" I cannot wrap my head around the adulation he receives, let alone the wide praise this has got. The film trudges from set piece to set piece, leaves us no real questions or anything to think about really.

The worst part however was Deakins "look at me i'm acting!" cinematography. This poor sap has become a parody of himself to appease his internet fans(much like Refn after Drive)

Doesn't have the same atmosphere as the first but had more stuff going on. Incredible looking move and well acted. Thought the female villain was cool but didn't like the Jared leto villain. He was quite boring and cliche.

>female villain
>Jared leto villain

They have names, you asshole.

EXACTly

Is this brand new pasta?

KINO

You can make it pasta if it makes you feel better about liking terrible movies. I don't mind haha

It was great. Long yes, but long in a good way.

solid 8/10

does a very good job of retaining the feel of the original movie, especially considering how long its been since that was made. i think OG blade runner is only a 7/10 so this is a good and bad thing IMO

i didn't like some of the "fan service" shit, like talking to that one guy in the nursing home and having a rachel clone show up and get shot in the head

good music, very atmospheric. good environment variety. i really liked the final encounter on the beach.

a little too long though, probably could have cut out 45 minutes of fat.

amazing movie, completely captivated me and blew me away. i want to see it again in theaters soon.

this is how a sci fi movie should be made, with emotion, drama, suspense, examining real life issues

Cinematography was very well done. It went closer to the source material (Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep) in various ways.
It had tons of nuggets that made the film connect to the past, but Jared Leto again went a little too far with his method acting.

suck my dic you cunt, i will fucking shoot an arrow in your fucking foot little zipperhead faggot.

Movie o the Year. Denis is the next Kubrick

Anyone else get caught up in the ending? Just that last scene, well, the second to last scene, it all finally hit me. Felt like a kick to the gut, but in a good way.

I appreciated a cool looking protagonist. I don't know why but I've always liked that.

>inb4 autismo goose

He's a kino actor.

Like tears in snow.

Leto is getting a lot of hate but I didn't find his performance bad. His character was supposed to be over the top, he's deluded to believe he is literally a fucking God, I thought it stood on good contrast to the test of the characters who are very subdued and questioning their place in the world, while Wallace clearly knew his, his purpose and goals were laid out very clearly in front of him and he lived it

How would you have liked Leto to play Wallace?

A narcissistic vanity project for Ryan "hey girl, I have one blank expression" Gosling. He's got the dead POLAR EXPRESS eyes through out. Most of its running time is shots of Gosling looking dumbfounded at something.

Deakins' photography is predictably pretty but like a lot of stuff he shot it feels very stagnant (I.e. JESSE JAMES, SKYFALL). They look outstanding when dissected individually, but hugely problematic when looked at in conjunctions of shots. One overpowers the other. Film isn't painting, and yet for most of the times, his photography comes off as that: Photography. They're stale, and ready made for Tumblr and screen grabs. Dull colour too that gets old quick.

GHOST did the merging of the bodies better. This is the subtlest score Hans Zimmer's put out in years, and it still blows. Also lol at Denis Villeneuve being the next big thing. His ideas and images are too derivative, preposterous, and pseudo-intellectual to be taken seriously and not dumb enough to be entertaining. Are artificial intelligences fuckable or not? Gosling hot or not? Interesting questions are being raised in this.

It's what Tron Legacy is for Tron.

All in all, an ass of a movie.

K had a hard life.

Went to see it, loved every bit of it

Everyone in the theater hated it, fuck this shithole of retards I live in

i really thought there was going to be a plot twist where it would turn out the wallace corp was tracking Joe's whereabouts via his AI gf, maybe unbeknownst to her. i think that would have been more interesting than just having her be a perfect loving ai and then just die abruptly

>ywn have holo gf that cooks fake food, then syncs up with replicant prostitute to have sex.

>almost devoid of ideas
>not confident
>leaving absolutely nothing to the imagination

"huh, you're not into real girls..."

there

a single, subtle quote from the movie trashing your entire post

I just watched this too and I spent the entire movie repeating the words "This is reddit, this is memes, this is reddit, this is memes..." under my breath.

I fucking hated it. I was writhing around on the floor in front of my seat for the last 30 minutes it was so painful.

>Ayy blade runner for the capeshit generation lmao
If you liked it you're in the wrong place

The Good

>visually excellent, sweeping shots of the destruction man struck on Earth, or the hologram effects on K were great
>good performances, no one was really bad
>plot had its moments, especially when K comes to realize he is, then isn't the replicant, or JOi's plotline

The Bad

>plot didn't go anywhere and felt like a lead-in to a sequel because they didn't have space for the revolution
>Wallace had a beginning and a middle, but no real end
>Luv was a by-the-numbers unfeeling henchwoman
>music wasn't too great, and the blaring BWAOHMMMs got boring

7/10 for me. Wasn't bad, but nothing incredible either. The first movie left me questioning a lot, this one left me just wondering when the sequel would arrive.

Very well done movie, but plot is a mess.

What is Deckard supposed to know? They told him shit. All he knows is that there is one eyed woman somewhere and she knows.

Ending is terrible. Fucking idiots literally showed the big bad where she is.

The revolution thing was terrible.

Final fight was stupid.

Me, personally, I'm against this movie.

I really liked him in this, even though he's only in, like, three scenes.

>I spent the entire movie repeating the words "This is reddit, this is memes, this is reddit, this is memes..." under my breath.
jesus christ, how much more autistic can you get

just fucking end yourself

>i really thought there was going to be a plot twist where it would turn out the wallace corp was tracking Joe's whereabouts via his AI gf, maybe unbeknownst to her. i think that would have been more interesting than just having her be a perfect loving ai and then just die abruptly
They where, that is why Luv freaked out when he removed the antenna.

The real question is if Joi figured he was being tracked and had him disable it without violating her coding.

CELLS INTERLINKED WITHIN CELLS

Not him, but I would've liked if he didn't put on his edgy "I am villain" voice.

I thought he'd seem more like Tyrell, still quite human enough to have motives.
He came off more like Blofeld from Spectre, simply enjoys torture and purely sadistic than actually striving for something better.

they were, you doofus

the AI rebelled and broke contact though

Did he actually die? I couldn't tell

Seriously, I can get behind that the movie is good and has some problems, but to say that the music was good is an insult to any composer, The music here was so bad that it distracted me in some scenes.

In the beginning I was thinking how the lack of music was bothering me, then by the end of the movie they used Elvis and Frank Sinatra, all meme musicians that are overused and started with the BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMM withing the songs, that shit pissed me off, I would be more confortable if they got someone that was good at synthwave to make the score of this movie, maybe now I can see why Jóhann Jóhannsson leaved

I'm not sure. I don't think it matters, though. Just everything hit me when I saw that, about how he lost pretty much everything, but gained a soul in the process, metaphorically.

I think it doesn't matter. He did what he wanted, what he thought was right, and became a real human bean in the process. He just wanted to rest.

When I first finished it I wasn't sure, now I've had a day to think on it and I loved it.

>but gained a soul in the process

the replicants tend to be more human than humans

I'm glad that Deckard was able to get a happy ending, I actually cired

I agree with you, but Leto was bad, I thought he was going to be a little better when I saw that short they launched, but in the end he didn't make a good performance

>outdoor cafe next to a whorehouse with open viewing windows of people getting fucked
What the fuck were they thinking?

But the reason why they used Elvis and Sinatra is actually well meaning, being that the Blackout destroyed most records of the past, so only the most major artists of the time could survive

Kek I just imagined that song playing at the end, it fits perfectly

Same friendo, I want to watch it again.

Honestly this. I'm now even more convinced Villeneuve is just another Nolanesque hack aka some guy who thinks he's a lot more clever than he is making dumb movies that work oh so hard to look smart

how many times are you going to post this?

I teared up big time at the end too. It really makes you think what it is to be human.

So why Decard wasn't listening to Death Grips?

>essentialist outlook
give an example

Replicants aren't even people, remember?

>How would you have liked Leto to play Wallace?

I would have prefered an older person. Like 60+

This

Yea, it's a pity, I saw a few people walk out half way through.

I seriously cannot wait for the movie to come out on BluRay or Netflix so I can watch it again in 4K. It's however definitely not worth paying money to watch in IMAX again.

I thought they used Sinatra only so he can say Joe

Are there any good interracial porn scenes?

>looks directly into camera

thankfully, it getting really good word of mouth according to the pollsters

You're only saying that because it was revealed they wanted Bowie for the part.

yea

until i get an answer. What kind of set design is this?

Does
hologram and two robots going at it count?

a few

I really do hope so. I feel it's one of those love it or hate it films. If you don't like what it has to offer, it sure does drag on for a long time.

Only bit I didn't like when thinking back on it is Leto's casting.

you dumb motherfucker. it's Los Angeles in 2049 with a population of like a billion people. there isn't enough room for privacy.

Not too far from reality user

pffffft nice attempt defending reddit's top movie of 2017, user

Just came back.

Maybe it's because I'm such a pathetic lonely beta, but I really empathised with K and his status as an outcast.

His only source of positive interaction was with Joi, a glorified hologram. His relationship with Joi was a symptom of his larger pain. His lack of a social network. No one wanted him, not the replicants he hunts or the humans he works for.

So it's no surprise how even though the thought of being Deckard's son scares him, he feels content with the thought that he is special, has a meaning and a soul.

And then it turns out it's all a misunderstanding. He isn't special.

I'm pretty sure it's implied.

>Humans are prejudiced against Replicants
>Replicants are prejudiced against AI (Mackenzie's character against JOI)

lol fuck all of them, they're all terrible

...

It was really good. It was my first IMAX film, and the theatre I saw it at cranked up the volume to 10 for some reason so the audio was way too loud, but it was a really neat looking movie

I think Leto did workmanlike work when everyone else was doing master work. He is the weakest part of the movie

Didn't love it, but I liked it a lot.

I want a 3 hour film of just Joi and Joe a la Her. Loners who fall dangerously in love with illusions hit my soft spot.

Jeez lad, spoiler tags like the rest of us. This kino should be ruined for anyone.

*shouldn't

dammit!

name me one place in the world where they build cafes in the red light district

the IMAX people demand the volume be at a certain level

Hans Zimmer got rushed to make the soundtrack, that's for sure. How bad was Johann Johannson's work to be rejected and replaced by him?

She just wants you to be happy user

> Because Villeneuve has submitted to Scott’s director’s-cut pseudo-profundity, he loses the chance to make Blade Runner 2049 mean something in the current moral upheaval, in which dystopia and the distance between humans and apparatchiks are everyday realities. Ultimately, Villeneuve’s sequel is more ultra-hack Scott than visionary Wong. Blade Runner’s awesomeness is gone.
He really is /ourguy/

they kinda dropped the ball with the finale. it feels rushed.

I mean we get the worm farm, Los Angeles 2049, Wallace's awesome headquarters, the wasteland orphanage... and the finale is inside a car and it's super dark outside?
