Blade Runner 2049 (October 6th, 2017) *SPOILERS*

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. As Mao said, let a hundred flowers bloom!

 

[RIDDICK]

I stand by what I said.

There's nothing wrong with your... ugh, opinion.
Your attitude is the issue.
It's sad that I have to spell it out for you again.

 

[Otomofan]

Riddick. I don't know you. But you seem to have a lot of anger in you. So I'm going to change tactics.

I....I love you man. We're just brothers from different mothers. Come here. Come in for a hug. Let's not be mean to each other anymore.

Let's be pals, OK?

 

[YoNoSe]

Watch out for the shocker.

All art, including movies, is subjective.

I understand a lot of you LOVE this movie, and my opinion in no way diminishes or belittles that you love you feel.

I'm just saying it didn't work for me.

I don't like mindless car chases or paper thin plots dumbed down to the point where the least intelligent audiences members can shove mouthfuls of popcorn into their faces and go "huh huh.....***! Funny!" But I just found it TOO slow. TOO meandering. TOO navel gazing. And did you miss how I said how incredibly gorgeous the film LOOKED?

Two of my favorite movies from the past decades were also considered "slow" by the masses.

Ever see "In The Bedroom?" To me that's one of the most gripping, well-acted dramas I've ever seen. It's a depressing film and not easy to watch a lot of scenes, but I absolutely adored the movie and the performances.

Same with "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford." It's slow, it's methodical....but the characters feel real, and it builds towards something. Again, one of my rare favorites from the last decade.

I' glad you enjoyed 2049 but for me it was just a painful experience. I hope we can all just agree that we have different and nuanced taste in films and that doesn't make anyone's opinions "better" than anyone else's.....just different.

Let me guess, you loved ghost in the shell.

I say thin non ironically but bladerunner 2049 is the highest form cinematic art we have seen so far from a studio.
This movie is like a walking painting. This is just not a movie, in theaters this was a full experience, the loud music was of as much importance as anything else.
I think this might be the best futuristic movie a studio might have released.
Im being fully honest here, i understand u hated it,but as a fan of akira im fully shocked.
Akira might have great visuals but the story is super super paper thin and the characters are very one dimensional and unlikable. Talk about a dull anime......

Bladerunner is a very slow burn movie and takes its time, but the story is very deep and philosophical

Otto, you cant possibly blame it on the acting or the plot without backing up with examples. What part of those didn’t work for you? I see you trashing the film but you have nothing to back it up with.

If you like slow burns as you’ve stated then the pace is obviously not your problem.

 

[karamazov80]

really good movie, but. . .

"I say thin non ironically but bladerunner 2049 is the highest form cinematic art we have seen so far from a studio."

Ingmar Bergman and Sergio Leone are rolling over in their graves. Let's not go crazy here, else people will compare your comments to Khev's "Rogue One and Winter Soldier are better than Raiders and Empire" type rants.

I would agree with crows 100% on that statement.

 

[karamazov80]

Just like any form of art, newer pieces will be more derivative and less inherently creative than those that came before.

Could use a trim in some places for sure but it is still the best big budget film released by Hollypoop in many years.
That doesn't mean it's the best thing ever. It's not even better than the original.
It's T2 to "The Terminator" but in neo-noir terms.

 

[crows]

I know i make sarcastic jokes on other threads but this is the one movie i will not make jokes or be sarcastic about.


And to me this feels almost like an interactive play. And mind you iwatched this in 2D
The textures, the depth of the city, the grime on the walls, the smoke, the amazing sound, it felt like a real city. It felt like a real place.
It definitely almost felt like a universal studios experience.

I feel so bad for people that have to watch this on a smaller tv.
Im so glad i caught it on theaters. One of the times im glad i got to watch it

 

[space ace]

I actually drove 30 minutes yesterday to catch it on the big screen at a $1.00 movie theater making it the sixth time for me on the big screen. I own the blu ray and have a nice home theater set up, but this movie like the original is an experience to behold in a theater.

I wanted to watch it again but the cheap theater got rid of it after 2 weeks
I also had to drive like 40 minutes out. Im really glad and feel lucky i got to see it

I never said attraction.
I said experience. Theater experience. 4D experience

 

[RIDDICK]

Well, nothing in BR49 looked like this:

or this

or this

So, I guess it can't be called great art...

All those great visuals and that story is so lame....

 

[Centurion]

LOL!!

 

[punisher1974]

At least with Akira it had no tentacles penetrating certain areas. I remember watching Wicked City and :eek

Wicked city is soooooooo much better than Akira!!!
Much more engaging and interesting
