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 sucker for IMAX tho...

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
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.

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
