Blade Runner 2049 (No Spoilers!)

I saw it on opening day and loved it. A bit long yes, but I would have gladly sat there for another hour; I just love the world those movies have crafted.
I also love that for how deep and involved the world they've created is, the movies rely very little on exposition (Harrison Ford's unfortunate overdubbing on the original theatrical version aside).
Same goes for thematics, they don't hit you over the head with the ideas they are trying to put forward, they just knit them nicely into the story and trust their audience to put it all together. Nothing is worse than a movie where the characters are forced to stiltedly explain the ideas of the film through awkward dialogue (I'm looking at you Matrix sequels).

Interesting wyfbane, my 28 year old son-in-law had not seen the original free porn. We watched it last weekend. He thought it was boring. I suspect he would have enjoyed 2049 more.
My ears are still ringing from the Imax. Yes, Mr. Villanueve,I get it, in 2049 air cars will be very loud when then land...

I started watching the movie, but after a few minutes, I have a vague feeling of déjà vu.

I really didn't like it mainly because I was expecting Blade runner and it was much more like a PK Dick novel. A little slow but visually stunning nonetheless.

I'm going to recommend Altered Carbon on Netflix. Similar visual effects. Lots of action and if you like Blade Runner style. I think you're going to enjoy it.

I watched "Altered Carbon". It was OK, but I probably won't come back to it.

I'm a big fan of "The Expanse", the best Sci-Fi show we've had in a long time.

The book that is Altered Carbon is a lot better than the show. The show is pale in comparison. I have not got around to 2049 but am looking forward to when I get a chance to watch it.
