- Excellent. They *had* to have a model of the LAPD building - wouldn't be Blade Runner otherwise.face_melter

I want to get the concept art book from this movie, I saw "The Art of Blade Runner" on Amazon, but it looks like it's mostly frames from the actual film, was hoping more of the back end design.
Anyone knows if they released something like this already?

The sound design makes this movie.
Very enjoyable. And just like the original, makes you ponder the realities of a dystopian future.
- Ryan Gosling plays a good replicant. Like in all his other movies.monoboy
- haha, he does indeedmonospaced

Like this a lot. The original is still one of my favorites, particularly the Vangelis soundtrack.
I thought the music in 2049 was ok but the sound design was really good.
8/10

I can kind of understand the quibbles with story and acting but I could have just carried on watching it, regardless of what was happening. Not even watching - just gazing at it rumble past. It is SO good to look at.
The light, the snow, the dust. Like Bluejam said - the glitchy Elvis scene is ridiculously good.

Saw it last night. Visuals and sound were stellar. The story was stupid. Also, had they trimmed some of the fat off these long drawn out shots, this movie would feel better at 2 hours long. I liked it a lot but didnt love it, especially the last act. It was depressing and didnt live up to the first 2 acts.
They also failed to deal with the jared leto character. Just left him hanging for a sequel which probably wont even happen since the movie has been a huge box office flop.
- you went in wanting to dislike it, though ... your review of the first movie knocked on "shots with no dialogue with ... loud ass synths," which this one also hasdoublespaced
- Leto's character wasn't important - his actions were - Luv is by far the more central protagonist. Her and K are different sides of the same coin.face_melter

One of the best movies I've seen. Wow. So glad I got to see it on a legit IMAX too. Nothing quite like that full frame 3story screen. And, thank you Hans Zimmer. That was epic.
- yup!utopian

Saw it earlier today. Great. Just fucking great from the second it started to the moment the credits rolled.
The locations and sets are mint and the scale of everything is boggling compared to the first film. Seeing it all in one go you get the sense that the characters are tiny, tiny, things in this massive city machine trying to hold onto something, any kind of feeling or emotion, to prevent them from being swallowed by it - like Robin Wright's character trying it on with K after a few drinks.
And yeah, I didn't know what to expect with the story but I thought it was superb the way it tied in with the original and pushed The New. No disappoints at all - apart from the garbage sound system in the cinema, the bass BRAAAANNNNNGGG's made the speakers pop. So I will probably see it again in a better theatre.
- The IMAX sound was unbelievableRamanisky2
- my theatre had crisp ATMOS and that shit sounded superbernexbcn
- Yeah, I was more of the mind of needing to see it on a big screen above all else. There's an IMAX at the Mall of Scandinavia, a short train ride from me.face_melter
- So I think i'll go there to get the full effect.face_melter
- The real IMAX is WORTH ITmonospaced

I watched the original again after having only seen it once like 10 years ago. It was ok. I liked it more than I remembered, but its still flawed imo.
Pretty amazing they got that done without the tech they have today, but the movie itself aside from the visuals is still kinda boring. There is so little story there, but its still stretched out over a while through what feel like endless shots of nothing happening. They tried to fill the space of these dead shots with no dialogue with these loud ass synths, which I guess helps, but there was way too much of it. It actually felt like they just duplicated many shots and sprinkled the same shots throughout the film lol.
So Im seeing the new one this sat. I keep hearing amazing things so I hope it doesnt disappoint.
- get ready ready for a 2:45:00 of synths and engine revving sounds ;)Ramanisky2
- I agree with "loud ass synths"...sorta like the overused Michael Bay or J.J. Abrams Lens flares.utopian
- I didn't mind the sound at all.
loved it.Ramanisky2 - I'm not sure you understood the movie if you claim the story isn't much.monospaced
- I always compare it to old western films. The silence says a whole lot...ShaneHolley

Three short prequels to 2049

first off, not a fan of the original, but perhaps could try rewatching it
this film is the type that will come to mind when i think of a cinematic experience. i didn't care much for the characters but i was intrigued by them. the film took me somewhere and i was fascinated everywhere i went.
somehow harrison ford felt too much like harrison ford in most recent films with his awkward frame protruding through his heather grey gap t-shirt (seriously wardrobe???), so his entrance pulled me out of the experience momentarily, but it was really only a sensory experience I'd latched on to so it wasn't jarring.
one thing i was impressed by was the cgi of the girl. there were only minor tells (apart from the obvious), but compared to the work in star wars this was near perfection.
rating: would netflix again one rainy lazy sunday afternoon or have on in the background while working (insert shrug emoji).
- CGI of which girl??
The giant naked hologram?Ramanisky2 - sorry, cgi remake (was trying to avoid spoilers)SteveJobs

https://typeset-beta…SteveJobs - I actually thought they used a lookalike actress for that didn't come off as CGI to me. Hmmmmm.Ramanisky2

took 1 year to do ...

was very impressiveBluejam - i wondered that too, but the likeness is near identical.
https://www.bustle.c…SteveJobs - wow they did an amazing job on that
I was totally sold on a lookalikeRamanisky2 - and I completely forgot about my
Black Mirror girl ...
https://pbs.twimg.co…Ramanisky2 - Black Mirror? She's from Halt and Catch Fire.monospaced
- she was on the San Junipero episode

- CGI of which girl??

WOW.
This is a legitimately good film. In some ways better than the original.
- Not that we need to compare. They're 30 years apart, the entire language and culture of film is different now.nb
- Agree 100%monospaced
