I saw the Director's Cut when I was probably too young to really appreciate it (I think the lack of v/o made it harder for me to follow back then), so I need to give it a go as an adult. I assume the Final Cut also drops the exposition?

I said come in! posted:

Blade Runner is one of my top 3 favorite sci-fi movies ever and at least right now I am aggressively opposed to this films existence. Maybe I will warm up to it in time, that is happening with Ghost in the Shell.

I think there's honestly more reason to think/hope that this movie will be good than GITS. Granted I'm not into anime and didn't feel like my childhood was being ruined by turning GITS into a movie like a lot of people did, but the pedigree of filmmakers involved with 2049 is really excellent, whereas GITS looks like it's really trying to faithfully translate some of the visual ideas from the anime, but may or may not get anything else right.

If anything, it's not that it looks like this movie will be bad, but rather that it has to follow (and therefore be compared directly against) one of the most influential sci-fi films of all time.
