I wasn't amazed by the writing in Sicario but the direction was great. I think that and Arrival are the only films of his I've seen, but that's enough for me to look forward to this movie.

Neo Rasa posted:Speaking of Dune, I hope if he gets it they really go nuts with the costumes and stuff in a good way and not in a Sci-Fi Channel Presents Frank Herbert's Dune kind of way. I don't know about using Jodorowsky's adaption directly but I would be happier with a more abstract take on the book. Hopefully they can really go to town with the production design of it.

Young Freud posted:True, but even Pris was dangerous. Her background working in military clubs supposedly equaled to her having some sort of combat ability, which is why she initially kicked Deckard's rear end. And, even in the short, the slim and tiny hookeroid picks up and throws out a 300-400 pound trucker onto the street from a moving vehicle and then tears through a car loads of armed security guards. atrus50 posted:most important poart of anime

Noted cinematic experts The Verge gave it an OK review but they didn't seem to think it was as amazing as the people you are finding. They gave it points for trying to be more than a normal blockbuster even if they thought it didn't quite pull off being a masterpiece (they thought The Bad Guys were a bit simplistic). At the very least this doesn't sound like a train wreck, not that I ever really thought Villeneuve would have made something like that.

Ratios and Tendency posted:http://www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/news/article.cfm?c_id=1501119&objectid=11929436 I actually noticed this when I made the mistake of reading some comment sections for recent Blade Runner related news - people seem to be tripping over themselves to say how much they don't like it. They seem really proud of this, like it's rebellious in some way.

Somebody already mentioned it, but I loved the solar towers as a sort of mirrored callback to the fire towers in the original opening (although I was kinda wonder how well they would work, but maybe the fog dissipates at some point). In the intro, it looked like there was a massive patchwork of warehouses covering the land. The shapes suggested fields that had been covered, but does California actually have fields in jigsaw shapes like that? It looked more European to me; I would assume American fields are giant and more rectangular but that wouldn't have been as striking of an image. david_a fucked around with this message at 04:19 on Oct 9, 2017 |

I love how people's interpretations of Joi are completely opposite too!  She's definitely the new "replicant question."

DorianGravy posted:A few questions: 2) They appear to be gigantic sea walls protecting the land from erosion and to protect the city from massive storms. You see some lights off in the distance that they're flying toward so the spaceport is either a floating platform or some kind of island. I assume this is primarily to heighten security, since you can only reach it by air and they would see you coming. Being father away from any meddlesome government is probably a bonus too. I think international water starts 200 miles offshore in the US so it's probably still under their jurisdiction, though. We've seen nothing about space travel in the BR universe so maybe the ships are super dangerous/polluting?

Olympic Mathlete posted:Is Wallace the only character in the movie/movies to have cybernetic enhancement? In a lot of cyberpunk stuff you'll have all sorts of weird and wonderful stuff bolted onto humans but Wallace sticks out. He has a little 'pill box' of clip in chips which I presume allow him to do other stuff than just control weird creepy flying cameras.

Mariette's line about the horse coming "from a tree" makes a lot more sense when I remembered she was very interested in the tree photograph that K had. I saw it in Dolby this time (is this just an AMC thing?). I don't know if I can really tell a difference picture-wise from the digital IMAX showing I saw, although this one had even more absurd bass. I would be interested in listening to the soundtrack by itself because I can't tell if some of the weird sounds are intentional (one I remember is the bee scene; there was a strange digital distortion over the booms). I'm pretty sure the ceiling tiles and light fixtures were rattling in this showing. One thing I really noticed was how rock-steady the image was in the static outdoor shots; I think I'm conditioned from decades of film projection to look for strobing or jittering. I'm even more torn about Joi after this showing, because in the first scene she's in she definitely comes off as entirely subservient in a fairly cloy way. It appears to be the emanator that sets her free, if you can call it that. I can't make up my mind if Joi or Luv is the more interesting character.

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:It does. I think if they made duplicate replicants they would stand out a lot more which probably isn't what either Tyrell or Wallace wants. Xealot posted:Obviously, there are only duplicates when it serves the film's themes. I'm sure IRL, there'd be 50,000 alternate models for JOI in particular, half of them otherkin. But that's not where they went with it.

exquisite tea posted:The whole fear of a replicant revolution just seems very at odds with the tone established by the first film and even BR2049 itself. Blade Runner's Earth is an destitute, dying shithole full of invalids, nobody gives a gently caress about the humans or androids living there, so it makes no sense for Wright or Leto to constantly be talking in these apocalyptic tones about lines being crossed. Nobody has seen the sun in decades and you're living off grubs, who's paying the LAPD to maintain this crack team of android hunters? BR1982 already established that the lines between human and artificial were illusory in Deckard's slow arcing realization of how worthless his life really was. But then all that totally gets reset in the sequel, now Deckard's role in affairs is one of revolutionary importance and society is suddenly very concerned about the status of replicants again even though we already resolved this argument in the original. The whole grandiose tone of the script just felt very off compared to the setting established in Blade Runner, of scavengers trying to pick up the pieces of failed state. Society has already crumbled, don't sing La Marseillaise just grab whatever you can get.

Toxic Fart Syndrome posted:I can't stress this enough but if you have not watched this film on Bluray you are doing yourself a great disservice. A lot of the visuals are lost in compression, not even the best streaming comes close... I don’t have anything against Jared Leto and I don’t hate him in BR2049, but there are definitely other actors that would have done better things with the role. Bowie would have been amazing
