Blade Runner 2049 (2017) Movie • Page 16

I didn't even think of that. it makes sense for their wold but for ours you'd probably have to buy something expensive and made from real sheep if you wanted that look.

 

Loved this. Absolutely gorgeous movie. Performances across the board were on point. I thought Ana de Armas played one of the more fascinating characters in the movie and her performance was great. I'm torn on the score. Parts of it were great, and parts of it felt a little off. I'll forever wonder what the full Jóhannsson score would've sounded like.

 

Seeing this tonight!

Hope I'm not let down. I wasn't letting myself get too excited, but then the last 2 weeks wouldn't shut up about it and I got a little hyped. I was already hyped for Deakins visuals.

 

I know I have only just seen the first film (yesterday in fact) but quite frankly I enjoyed this even more. Looks amazing, the performances are solid but most importantly this did not feel like it was 40 minutes longer than the first film which just shows how utterly engrossed I was throughout.

 

I need to see this again, preferably in imax. I went into this cautiously optimistic and I left unsure of how I felt but the more I think about it, the more I think I like it, possibly even love it. There are a few issues I have with it, but nothing too glaring.

 

My favorite scene was definitely the first baseline test. K flying into the city as the music built and we get a glimpse of the massive police station dominating the skyline. Everyone in the station giving him a hard time. The rapid fire questions and repeating answers. My heart started racing throughout that scene. It painted an absolutely grim portrait of the future.

 

My favourite scene was the love scene between K, Joi and the prostitute. Forget the blade runner stuff, I just want Her 2

 

The dynamic between K & Joi was probably my favorite part of the film.

 

I liked their relationship a lot as well but man, her death did nothing for me

 

Both baseline tests were so good

 

Regarding Joi's death, I was surprised by how much I felt it. And then I saw somebody point out that Luv is saying "I hope you enjoyed our product" to Joi, meaning K is the product. I dig that.

I wish K could have had a scene with Niander, it would have been interesting to see him meet his maker, but I don't see how they could have reasonably done it without feeling too contrived.

 

That line that Luv says is mainly what I dislike haha.

Also dude, continuing our conversation from the Star Wars thread but, I've been living off student loans for a bit but I really need a job so I just walked into the CInemark by my house and spoke to the GM for like half an hour and we wants to interview me this week so...might be jumping back into this world and joining you in the fun!

 

Happy Death Day looks dope and also I'm never gonna see this movie! bye

 

This was just wonderful.

 

Gosling's coat is the most badass coat since the duster on It's Always Sunny.

 

I'm very sorry and also happy for you. There's definitely worse ways to pick up an extra hundo a week. But I'm sure you're aware you're coming in at the worst couple months of the movie season

[edit] and I didn't love that line when I assumed she was talking about Joi, I think flipping it around onto K makes it interesting

 

I dunno, I always had fun at my job. “Busy” was not synonymous with “worse” I felt.

 

I want Goslings coat from this and Ansel Elgort's jacket from Baby Driver and then my new wardrobe will be complete.

 

One thing that I sorta appreciated and also sorta feel like wasn’t talked about enough in the movie is how the environment is fucking fucked and there’s a big ass sea wall literally holding in the ocean and there’s a foot of snow in Southern California. I know they mentioned a bit in the opening crawl and it’s better than an over handed environmental allegory, but yeah.

 

I loved that the showed us all these environmental devastation without all the exposition. I feel like in another film makers hand we would have had lines like "yea, that's the wall the keeps the LA from going under water" or "it never used to snow like this... before the blackout..."

 

Right, that would have sucked. But doing a better job tying Wallace’s need for more replicants to the ensuing environmental disaster wouldn’t have bothered me.

 

World building at it’s finest.

 

Fair enough. I thought it was clear the replicants were mostly made for helping to colonize new worlds. And just looking at the scenery, you could see why they were trying to colonize new planets at a faster pace. But I'll admit, most of my knowledge of the off-world colonies came from seeing the original.

 

Yeah, honestly one of the most lived-in sci-fi worlds I’ve ever seen on film, which is a quality the first one had as well. The only movie I can think of that compares is Children of Men

 

There was exposition in the plot mostly from Leto's character's short first scene that took me out a bit. There was more in the scene when K is confronted by a certain group. Idk. It wasn't a lot but it didn't feel good in the midst of a film that otherwise didn't use it for the majority of its runtime. But when it did use it it was for the major story beats.

I didn't really like the plot that much :/ I think I might actually dislike it

The journey through it all felt great though. As far as the screenplay, pacing, set pieces went.

The secondary plots ranged from interesting to pretty great.

Watching K in the world of the film feels interesting

The world building, aesthetic, and environmental story telling was great because it was telling by showing not exposition. The sets were unreal.
