I can't believe that there are entire threads dedicated to praise for this movie. This isn't something I say often, but if you honestly thought that this was a great movie, then you would probably enjoy reddit more than this website.
We told you it was kino and that's what you got, you won't fit in here by being contrarian, those years are gone
Michael Carter
stick to you capeshit
Landon Lewis
That's fine if you don't like it, but when a few of your critisms just prove you didn't understand things, then you sound retarded.
Landon Harris
Please, tell me what I didn't understand.
Ryder Nelson
>most powerful man in the world can't even get the eye colour right, summary execution for audience shock value you didn't understand deckard was saving face holy fucking brainlet
Cameron White
Ok? Is that supposed to be clever?
Cooper Mitchell
you understand that this movie should be able to stand on its own two feet right?
Mason Clark
>3 hours feels more like an eternity
This is how you can tell a person hasn't seen the movie. The movie itself is 2 hours 30 min, adding in the credits gets you up to 2 hours 43, not sure where this 3 hour number is coming from, probably Disney shills
Nicholas Powell
Well, the wood thing for one. The horse is rare because it's made of natural wood. Not replicant wood like all the wooden shit poor people own. The problem isn't technology, it's that damn near everything has gone extinct.
Gavin Baker
I NEED that piece of music from the OST that plays during the scene with the prostitutes.
It's got a big blaring horn sound. It makes the cityscape seem so large and alive.
Eli Edwards
Luv has a clips4sale page where she sells findom/cbt videos.
Lincoln Sullivan
The writing is so fucking laboured and repetitive to help the underage shits follow the plot.
How the fuck is this a neo-noir?
Evan Bell
Went to a special screening with 20 people. 2 couples walked out.
The film goes on too long for a story that can be trimmed to a neat 90 minutes.
This is typical 2017 film making. It's an overblown and indulgent production built on a vapid and hollow foundation.
If you could not see where the story was going in the first act, you must be very new to film. The type of idiot who responds well to 2017 film making.
Austin Foster
Maybe OP couldn't read IAMTHECAPTAINNOW's subtitles. They should've put in a flashback to Snake man scene from first one so he could have it spelled out twice for him.
Xavier Perez
Oh yeah that reminds me >foreign languages being used for no real reason other than cheap "ambience" Japanese audio on the database machine and fucking Tamil on a warning sign were the worst offenders.
Jonathan Kelly
wow it's like you never saw the original
Liam Moore
>The film was too long
Literally the most plebbest of opinions, kys my man
Jonathan Hall
It's been a while but I remember I enjoyed the original. If that was an element included in the original then it was included in an innocuous way. Foreign language inclusion in this one was stupid.
Wyatt Barnes
How was Ford in this?
Blake Gutierrez
"Flight to LAPD" by Hans Zimmer & Benjamin Wallfisch", jump to 1:46

Benjamin Roberts
Actually awake, though his performance is just as affected as everyone else's and he doesn't have much dialogue.
Quick, say three (3) nice things about Blade Runner 2049!
David Richardson
Growing up means understanding that time is more valuable than any other asset.
You want to shove me in a dark room and stare at a screen for 3 hours? You better bring a decent story worth telling in that span.
I could swallow 18 hours of Twin Peaks because there was not a wasted moment. This on the other hand... a venal mess.
Easton Jones
He is fine i guess but hes not in it for the first 2 hours
Logan Evans
How long is it?
Carter Thomas
People will meme on him because people like to meme on old Ford, but he was good in this.
Cooper Mitchell
Really?
Grayson Green
Took a piss just before entering the cinema had to take another piss about an hour in but did not want to miss any of said movie. Very painful for me.
Logan Jackson

i think you just might not like new things
Dominic Perry
>ryan goslings reaction when he finds out the memory is real This was one of the most genuine emotionally investing moments in recent cinema history.
You are just listing plot points of the film thinking that you're making some kind of argument.
Aaron Thompson
good enough. He's old n shaky but he emoted well and acted well in perilous situations
Michael Jackson
>the goose in what may be his best role yet, simply because i think he is a real life replicant incapable of human emotion Thank You! I thought I was the only one who saw him as dead-eyed, flat actor that everyone else seems to see as the apex of stoicism!
Jordan Clark
sorry op you need to stick to capeshit, star wars and anime
you didnt get it
Camden Rogers
Did he die? I'm just curious if Hollywood is resurrecting his movies to systematically kill him off
Jonathan Jenkins
>i am such a kinophile that my brain has no limits for the length a film should/could be. Even if a film has a limited amount of things to say, so long as it says them as slowly as possible, it must be a intelligent masterpiece
Jaxon Martinez
How does it feel to know that your contrarian opinions will fade into obscurity within hours while the praise of professional critics and the general intelligentsia will entrench this film in the annuls of film history?
I guess I feel more pity than anything else for the people who post negative shit about this film. They fall into one of two categories:
1) They are literal plebs. 2) They are pretending to be plebs.
Either way, they aren't full people. They aren't really alive. They're like K, except there is no hope of them ever finding redemption.
Leo Wilson
I bet 100 (one hundred) [uno cien] dollars that this trash board that is shitting on BR2049 will suspiciously praise Thor Ragnarok in a few months.
If that happens it will be the final confirmation of the Disney shill invasion and measures will be taken
Anthony Rogers
im somewhat on your side, but "most genuine emotionally investing moments in recent cinema history"? really? the reaction was lackluster acting, literally staring with wide eyes, and not to mention the fucking drawn out sequence of him getting to the thing we already expected
Logan Lewis
There was a high pitch squeak accompanying every bass wub in my theater. Wasn't sure if it was part of the sound design or a creaky ceiling tile.
Gavin Morales
Wow you sure BTFOd that strawman
Jaxson Wilson
you should just see the movie, i didnt think it was a masterpiece like a few on this board are claiming, but i dont regret it for simply the visuals alone.
but incase you dont care
lets just say it is VERY set up for a sequel
Jace Sullivan
I was thinking about the pic related scene, not the furnace one (although that was executed well too)
Jayden Gomez
that was the intention
Angel Cruz
>volume of voice = amount of emotion
I almost started laughing but then I remembered I paid 20 bucks for this
Joseph Sullivan
So if that is any indication he lives ill watch it
Xavier Howard
>'annuls' >'general intellegentsia'
Lol
Lucas Gray
It's not just Gosling's delivery, but the context of the story around it. The built up tension. The fact that you don't see him portray a single emotion until then. And the editing inbetween the flashback scenes, the memory girl and him is flawless, you get the usual Villeneuve slow burning tension and you then finally the release. Meme all you want, but it is xecuted perfectly,
Cooper Jackson
He's marketed like he's another main character, but in reality he's in there for under 40 minutes and is in captivity for most of it.
Anthony Mitchell
How did Wallace's engineers get her eye color wrong
They have a video that's JUST HER EYE
Jose Reed
Don't waste your time, he's either a redditor trying to fit in by being contrarian or a disney shill. Either way he'll just meme away the discussion
David Wilson
The tears slowly building up in his eyes...Kino
Cameron Baker
Can someone confirm me what was that exactly in the vast panning opening shot shown? A massive solar panel installation that clearly isn't working anymore or?
Jeremiah Perry
Except really long movies like the Human Condition or Satantango actually do have things to say. Hell, the Director's Cut of Aliens is 160 minutes and that's an action movie which never feels slow or padded. It's about quality, m8.
Oliver Sullivan
Link?
Grayson Wilson
Told you
David Sanchez
There isn't a single frame in BR 2049 that isn't "saying" something, every single shot is propelling the narrative forward. The problem is that your brainlet mind thinks a story is made only by actors reciting lines
Ayden King
There is no build up tension unless you are really stupid. The moment he found what looked like a date on the tree trunk I knew he was the missing kid. There is absolutely no consequence of any kind in this movie which nullifies any tension the director may have been trying to build. The moment a viewer realizes that they don't care whether the protagonist lives or dies is when the film falls apart.
Dylan Harris
Satantango or Andrei Rublev feel much slower than Blade Runner 49. "Slow" is just not a criticism, not even a brainlet one
Bentley White
OK? Are you supposed to be clever?
Nolan Reyes
>>jared leto delivering video game villain lines It's not his fault Nolan and capeshit lowered the bar
Connor Rivera
>The moment he found what looked like a date on the tree trunk I knew he was the missing kid. But user, he isn't the missing kid.
Luke Reyes
>he thinks tension is solely dependant and executed just by plot points Embarassing.
Hunter Ward
Every line that came out of anyone's mouth felt like it could have been spliced into a trailer. The sheer amount of pseudophilosophical bullshit in the script was just inexcusable.
Jayden Jenkins
why the fuck did luv let him live after knocking him out? TWICE? Getting real tired of this shit, especially when in the original the same stupid shit happened when cartwheel replicant backed up 20 feet to do her super move after already having the upperhand and got shot
god fucking damnit i thought this movie would avoid stupid shit like that but it did it TWICE.
Jonathan King
You could say the same thing for the original.
Jayden Mitchell
Yeah but my point is that the emotion that the other poster is referring to is derived from the assumption that he is the missing kid. Also what a horrible bait and switch.
Angel Parker
She had to save Deckard from drowning to finally get to the "baby" and she thought that slicing up K up his entire ribcage after that whole fight should be enough. And she clearly had a thing for K, kissing him and all. Then K emerges like a fucking demon out of nowhere and strangles her to death with a single arm. Kino.
James Jones
>i knew he was the missing kid
AHAHAHAHAHA DID YOU NOT FINISH THE MOVIE?
Cameron Jones
okay ill give you that but what about at harrison fords house? why did she just let him live there? even after killing like 3 of her guards? Surely this cant all be explained away by saying she wanted to fuck k?
Jayden Anderson
Ok so taking the story out of the equation how exactly does one build up tension? And no, ear shattering fart noises is not the right answer.
Logan Rodriguez
But it came out before I was born so it gets a pass. BASED RIDLEY SCOTT!
John Jenkins
...
Austin Brooks
>Every line that came out of anyone's mouth felt like it could have been spliced into a trailer
As opposed to the strict natural realism of the original Blade Runner?
> Also what a horrible bait and switch.
You've gotta be kidding me, that's the literal lynchpin of the entire arc of the film. One of the major fucking themes of the story is that K thought he was some super-special god child but the fact is he was just like every other replicant and STILL managed to discover and unlock his humanity.
The movie would lose most of its pathos if he was actually the child. It would stop being about "more human then human" being and just be another story of predestined greatness, the fact that he's just like every other average Joe is essential to the themes.
Mason Gomez
so the bait and switch worked on you? not sure what you're getting at here
Jordan Walker
Editing, blocking, performances, framing and composition, directing action, sound editing,, sound mixing, literally the execution of every other filmmaking element.
The Sicario border scene is a prime example youtube.com/watch?v=yhHwgDAM8uU The story of that scene is pretty much dead simple, but it is the execution that elevates it and makes it one of the most tension filled moments of the entire film.
Cameron Mitchell
hes saying that there was no tension because the memory scene is in fact not when K realizes that hes the kid
Juan Morales
I choose to believe that K killed himself on the bridge with the giant Joi hologram. He shot himself, and the moment where the blue light illuminates his face in a mirror of Roy Batty's final moments is when he dies.
Everything after that is a dream.
Jason Stewart
Sometimes I wish Jacob's Ladder had never been filmed just because it popularised theories like this.
Ian Sanders
I don't really believe it's true
But I wish it was
Caleb Diaz
It was a 9/10 movie except for few scenes.
Then last 30 minutes kick it down to 7/10. Everything from the revolution bullshit scene till the end was bad and made no sense. Ending is a straight Bebop ripoff.
Bentley Cox
I'm not talking about the original. Also, you can have a movie full of one liners and still have it be good, like Tarantino does. However, when your entire movie is full of bad one liners, then every conversation becomes an ordeal.
How is it that despite dragging on for so long, this movie still manages to make what you call the literal lynchpin of the entire arc of the film seem clumsily shoehorned in? You get a big dumb action scene and then K wakes up finds out he's not a real human and then joins the rebellion, all under a minute and a half. I couldn't care less. It's like the director filmed two and a half hours of the movie and then realized that he had to put a third act in.
Robert Hill
But it is? Up until then he believes that the date and the memory he has is not his and that it is just implanted in his brain, but after that girl tells him it's real he thinks he actually lived through all of that.
William Ortiz
>Goose looking at DNA >Joi talking to him >"Funny, you're made up of four symbols...." >"But I.... >"Am only made up...." >"Of two...." >"..." >"...one and zero..."
You literally could've stopped at 'four symbols' and everyone who was going to get this would have gotten it. Goddamn
Nicholas Peterson
Fucking this
Glad to see that someone shares my EXACT opinion
Nicholas Ortiz
Normies don't know binary. I think they probably don't understand that scene even with that dialogue.
Evan Brooks
How's the soundtrack?
Aaron Barnes
Editing: long, drawn out shots of scenery and static conversations Performances: lol Framing and composition: Character's face takes up the whole frame, or it's a wide shot showing the character amidst some CG scenery Directing Action: No real complex movement Sound editing/mixing: BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP
I was literally on the edge of my seat t b h
Owen Rodriguez
Iktf but I decided to just go after 90 minutes. Went right after Ryan crashed near the orphanage and came back running when he was talking to the black orphanage owner. I don't think I missed much.
Samuel Jackson
Revolution bullshit was probably forced by the studio to have a sequel hook. But god, that scene was terrible.
Oliver Cooper
Hollywood assumes that everyone except them has 70 IQ.
Jayden Russell
It's quite a different approach from the original. While the visuals are pretty clean, empty, sterile, the soundtrack is downright dirty, distorted and industrial. It's largely overwhelming and "in your face" unsettling, but in a good way. I would have never guessed that it was made by Hans Zimmer.
Evan Edwards
My problem with the film is that essentially the 1st film isn't very consequential in the world, which gives it scale. There's lots of blade runners, lots of rogue replicants, and Blade Runner is given extra depth and scale because of the implication that what we're being exposed to, thousands of little existential awakenings and crises, are happening every day in the hellscape of LA.
But in this one everything's way too important. A replicant revolution, Deckard and his kid and his wife being CENTRAL to it, the Wallace corporation evil plan directly involving deckard and K, it just feels like far too much compared to the sense of scale that bolstered the first movie to such a degree.
I liked the new replicant test.
Brandon Gutierrez
>I love you, even though you are a computer simulation, and I am a replicant. True love knows no bounds...
Several people walked out of the theatre after this line.
Brayden Thompson
The fake waifu stuff is really overdone at this point.
