^ That's Felicity Jones, if she actually looked like woman and could act.

She is cute

Yeah out of all the performances hers and Goslings were my favorite. Just too long for you other than that? Or did you have problems with the story? I think a lot of people get hung up on the “twist” when that’s really not all that important in the grand scheme.

I don't mind the running time, and I was never falling asleep or anything like that because I was waiting for the film to surprise me...I guess. But it never happened. It's like I was one step ahead of the story, and that's never fun. When they first introduce the idea that he might be "the one", I thought it was kind of obvious, but I felt that couldn't be true, so when Gosling visits the dream woman, I knew what was coming.

Besides that, the rest of the story is a guy trying to solve a mystery (that isn't much of a mystery) and the villains trying to find the special child, but I didn't think the story did enough with the "villains" by giving them some strong memorable scenes, and they're never really even close to figuring out the truth that I as a viewer already predicted, so the whole story just isn't very compelling.

As far as the ideas in the story, regarding Gosling's character, Joi, and replicants in general, that's fine, but I feel like all that has been done already in the first film, and it didn't take 3 hours.

On a side note, why didn't the female villain kill Gosling? Why just leave him alive?

I was surprised I liked it so much. The last few MCU movies have been very "meh". Michael B. Jordan stole the show.

Perfect gif to use for controversial posts. LOL!

Sounds like you enjoyed a lot, I can see your point about not giving the villains enough to do, which doesn’t bother me as much because we got that Deckard/Wallace scene which was fantastic and filled that void. I do think they gave Luv quite a lot to do, and she was excellent on screen. Always deadly and just barely one step behind K.

I too saw the twists coming (all but the first, where you learn he is a replicant in the beginning) but I loved the journey to K’s moment on those steps. The first film did a lot of this, but 2049 does it much better IMO.

Regarding your question, she probably thought he was dead, he was blown up, stabbed twice etc. That, and she let her ego get ahead of her. I really liked how K literally drowns Luv.

Nice!

There’s a lot more to see in 2049.

Why did Wallace want to learn how to make replicants that can reproduce? Wouldn't that hurt his business if replicants are no longer seen as labor slaves and accepted as humans? Also, they wouldn't need a company to make them if they can create life.

You're assuming Wallace/Earth would let replicants breed without control. Wallace pretty much outright said why he needs more replicants. To find and build more off-world colonies. Something few, like himself, would even have the resources to consider such a thing.

His Ego is huge as well, and Tyrell who came 30 years before him cracked the trick and he can't. He's desperate to be just as good.

Yey! Glad you like it.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Always did. Riddick is Plissken in space, and there's nothing wrong with that. I still need to see the third film.

Ooooooooh! That's gonna be interesting.

It is "The Dark Knight Rises" or "Iron Man 3" of the franchise, but actually good.

Better than Chronicles? I liked that one, even though it feels even more B movie than the first one.

Hard to tell, they're very different.
Third one is pretty much Pitch Black that is all about Riddick.
It references a lot of stuff but does it right and it feels natural, unlike crap in TDKR.

Alright. Did it just throw away the ending from Chronicles? I always assumed that from trailers.
