I'm all the way in!!!

The quality of Ford movies swings wildly these days.

He just shows up and acts.

going to be hard to capture the magic of the first

shieeeeet. I'm all in

Yea, I know the world is real shitty right now and this is could be great escape from the world right now.

My nigga Denis Villeneuve is 5 for 5. And Roger Deakins gotta take home that cinematography Oscar.

This shit is smart with great performances all around. In my opinion, the third act is incredible. I really can't believe a major studio greenlit this with the budget it has.

Between this and Mad Max: Fury Road, were bringing back 80s franchises bigger and just as good (if not better) as the OG shit.

Mos def worth it for IMAX since it's formatted for it. NYC, it's worth the trip to 68th and Broadway IMAX. Trust me.

I'm a big Blade Runner fan and a big Denis Villeneuve fan.

I was afraid of this film ruining both for me.

But what I've been hearing so far has me relieved.

Caught it on cable after at my aunts house and was hyped to finally see it
Nobody in the hood heard about it even though we talked Star Wars all day and Han Solo and all
I even had the comic
Hyped
Thanks for pushing
Bringing a lil bit of that feeling back

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

I'm a sucker for IMAX tho...

peace & blessings,

Interested to see the reaction.

Can't smoke beforehand but since its da fancy movie theater imma have a tasty fifth of fine whiskey in honor of Deckards drinking habits in the first film.

Rewatched the OG version earlier this week; should I try to tackle the shorts? I was afraid they would give a little too much away

The other 2 I'd wait on.

Enjoy bruh bruh.

Can't wait.

I just saw the first Blade Runner for the first time last year.

What was your initial reaction after you saw the OG?

I thought it was really good. I kept thinking it a mix of Terminator and Mad Max.

I'll be interested to see how this one marries with the original.

It's cool to hear a woman's opinion on this movie. I know zero ladies IRL that have seen it.

Early reviews changed my mind about it

Hope you enjoy it.

Really good, probably favorite film this year so far

Hit the double feature combo of the original and the new film (so that made for a long ass night)

Like it enrichened your enjoyment of 2049. It did for me.

I had seen it multiple times before but a long time ago and it really helped.

Ryan gosling seems like a rich man's Keanu Reeves... Emotive when he needs to be but mostly very sedate and serene looking. It fits this movie but I'm ambivalent about him as an actor.

Anyway, the movie looked gorgeous and really transported me. I think the sub-story was more interesting than the major one though... Particularly in the scene where fantasy merged with reality.

It made me think about how we sometimes super impose our fantasies on reality for ourselves but it was a trip seeing the fantasy make itself tangible.

I'm still processing where gosling's character was emotionally when he decided his course of action in the climax. Same with the primary villains emotion... Couldn't quite get a bead on that characters emotional motivation to do what was done... It seemed like more than following orders.

Spoilers and such.

but goddamn this shit bombed

that 2:45 flew by and i've never been able to stay into movies that long but i was totally engrossed.

at one point i remember asking myself who greenlit this and how did they get a $150 mil+ budget. thank god they did.

gonna have to find time to go see it again.

I personally don't give a shit about it bombing. If anything, I hope that financial trouble closes this franchise out for good and we are left with two beautiful classic bookends
