    I worked on this (and proud of that) but still but still can't bring myself to watch it. This is all my option but I couldn't get the change of the look and feel against the old one.

    I have personal gripes with the set and wardrobe but it's mainly the difference from the lighting and the camera lens. Too flat and sharp, no roll off.

    In case any legal's are reading this, people working on this project were lovely, as was the client and this is purely my cynical opinion!

    I'm also bitter that Tom Hardy didn't get the part ;-)!

    Really happy about the rave views though!

    • I thought you did VFX in film industryRamanisky2
    • It's difficult sometimes to pull away and enjoy a piece after analyzing it's flaws for what feels like an eternity.since1979
    • What is it about wardrobe? (Seemed good fit -- lol but seriously...)Squiddy
    • I'd agree some on the lens choice and lighting. Deakins did great and is one of my fave DPs nonetheless.evilpeacock
    • Seriously, that police station was all high-key lighting. The original BR everything was dark, smokey, with deep contrast.evilpeacock
    • Watch it. It's great. Like the original but better in many ways. See it before it's no longer on the big screen. Please.monospaced
    • The change in look and atmosphere could have been better explained in-film rather than relying on (admittedly good) YT shorts.face_melter
    • The fall of Tyrell and the rise of Wallace is a film in itself.face_melter
    • yay I know you guys are right and I do genuinely adore Deakins but I don't know Blade runner is just perfect and what I saw didnt gel for me. Again not talkingmugwart

    • I am a bladerunner fan, and after I watched 2049, I went back and watched the original again, and I still feel the new one is just as good.monospaced
    • The original was great, and had its flaws. I would never say it was perfect. You know as much as anyone that every person working on 2049 was honoring the origmonospaced
    • the new one didn't come even close to that end scene with roy batty.inteliboy
    • that's true ... I just don't expect/want to have a recreation, and I thought 2049 had some pretty intense emotion as well as some thought provoking materialmonospaced
    • If I had worked on this, and I was a huge fan of the original, and all the other people working on it were like-minded, I would see it once on the big screenmonospaced
    • I hear you ... but I can't get over their lens choice...mugwart
    • That is keeping you from seeing it? If you miss it in theaters you'll never see it the way it was intended. It's a really good movie. Lens isn't a deal breaker!monospaced
