Blade Runner 2049 is part of a recent series of movies I'd describe as Dunning-Kruger Sci-Fi. Along with Interstellar and to a somewhat lesser extent Arrival, they perfectly play to the crowd that fancies themselves as (and, to be fair, may truly be) smarter than average audiences but are not as smart as genuinely "smart people." They are movies designed to make the audience feel smart by introducing complicated and heady concepts, and then holding the viewer's hand the entire way through until there is next to nothing to be left up to interpretation.

If you didn't already know the twist in Blade Runner by the time he was visiting Leto's factory AT LEAST, you perfectly fit the audience I am talking about.

There is no reward for being smart while viewing these movies because everything is eventually spelled out in big fridge magnet letters. Any clever idea is made so transparent that even the most simple in the audience will get it. It also removes any reward for rewatching or trying to figure out what you just saw.

Granted, there is a difference between BR2049 and Interstellar. I think where Interstellar was pretending to have a brain it actually didn't have, 2049 has a brain that it is refusing to let the audience use.

Completely disappointing movie.

Also
>not an Arrival quote

nah I disagree, besides there is nothing intellectually reinvigorating about blade runner 2049. It features a few cliches and narrative vices (like exposition) just as the original did, yet does not wallow in the cliches like the banal twist at the end with Harrison's daughter where the twist itself is not that emphasized at all
besides that the entry-level philosophical questions are back but all in all it is a decent movie because it is visually stunning

dont be a contrarian for once

a tip to you too kind sir

Genius IQ here, I found Arrival and Interstellar to be almost entirely uninteresting, but loved BR2049.

You have highlighted one issue I have with sperg types like yourself, though:
>If you didn't already know the twist in Blade Runner by the time he was visiting Leto's factory AT LEAST, you perfectly fit the audience I am talking about.
I literally turn my thinking brain off when I watch a movie and just absorb everything happening as it happens. It's so twists are actually twists. It's a good feeling. The kind of people who think they're smart for seeing a twist coming and feeling the need to tell everyone afterwards (or even during) the movie are some of the most insufferable people.

The replaying of earlier lines was annoying in BR2049, but that's almost my only criticism of it. I loved every frame.

When did K go to wallace's factory?
Also its a 8/10 sci fi movie it doesn't need to be 2intelligent4you when it has that.

What was the "twist"?

Just because something isn't spelled out and then it turns out to be not what the movie was alluding to is not a twist

A bit too much handholding for my taste in BR2049 but it still leaves some things for the audience to figure out on their own so I'm fine with it

mamma mia, hope you enjoyed your meal

>a whole post without the word "imdb"
You're still a turbo autist but I commend you for your effort.

for sure you meant RT

How don't you recognize that one guy spamming his Villeneuve hate 24/7? He's one of the biggest joke on this board.

Here's one

Most of Sup Forums was to retarded to understand Interstellar, even you OP.

358 IQ here, mine went up by at least 40 points while watching BR2049.

>people only like things because they think it makes them smart
>I'm smarter than these people
So you enjoyed the film then?

I thought everyone went to go see a neo noir cyber punk film with pretty colors...

> movies designed to make the audience feel smart by introducing complicated and heady concepts

Movies are only a few hours long; they can only be so """complicated and heady"""". Read a book for once. Your bar must be set real low for "complicated".

>RT
?

how nu r u

First time on the board. Whats kino?

>kino
literally any movie or video that you like, ironically or uniroincally, the more contrarian, the better

>If you didn't already know the twist in Blade Runner by the time he was visiting Leto's factory AT LEAST, you perfectly fit the audience I am talking about.

Origins of the term?

I already knew the twist in Blade Runner by the time K. noticed the dead tree for the first time.
I'm that intelligent, shame on you retardop.

SAME PASTA EVERY DAY

SAME IDIOTS FALL FOR IT EVERY TIME

>his IQ was only 318 before BR2049

when will they ever learn

Does a film have to be as convoluted as something like Primer to warrant your seal of approval? This movie was pure Kino I'm sorry dude.

...

meme distinction between the terms "movie" and "film", half-ironically escalated by the french phrase "cinéma" for added pretentiousness, then post-ironically tipped with its German equivalent, "Kino" (literally translates to movie theater, doesn't actually describe a medium)

IT'S ANCIENT PASTA YOU DUMB FUCKS

Appreciated

But the twist was he was actually a replicant? I don't get why you and op thought he was a human

I'm newfagging

This has always been the case. Read some really old stuff. It is axiomatic that people have limitations, to include limitations to which they are blind. This is why humility exists.

fuck off, Wallace, your speeches suck

>wtf is book.jpg

To accept Villeneuve as a quality director is to garb yourself in a coat of hot pockets and video games and then writh around on the ground in a supermarket while screaching and slapping yourself on the sides of your head.

He is cheeto dust. Nothing more.

Nothing more than 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)

The same bullet that kills a capeshit fan will also kill the Villeneuve and Paul Thomas Anderson fan. They come from the same root, from the same doritos stained console. They are frauds, and as a warrior of cinema it's my duty to expose the fakes and the inauthentic when I see them. I will fight with crawls and teeth until the last imposter is fallen to the ground.

>Dunning-Kruger

Hola reddit! Couldn't stop regurgitating and misapplying shit you read on wikipedia because you're an intellectual hack who needs someone to feed you lines about cognitive biases and logical fallacies in order to have a critique deeper than "I don't like it."

In b4 "ad hominem"

>handling year-old pasta like a champ

welcome, newfriend :^)

reddit flicks

Don't bully Korinebro, he's fighting suicidal ideations ever since everybody found out Korine is a hack who will never work again and PTA is the actual american working kinomaster. Let him have this
