Don't doubt Denis Villeneuve. He's easily one of the best directors working today. I had doubts about this sequel too, until I heard Villeneuve was directing. I've enjoyed everything I've seen that he's made.
I really enjoyed Prisoners and Sicario (after watching Sicario more than once), but to be honest, I wasn't totally invested in Blade Runner 2049, because I already studied so much of the original film at school that I kind of felt exhausted when it came to watching the sequel. I might watch it again someday, though but not immediately.
Mark Parkinson As someone else said, you phrase your critique as if your displeasure falls on Denis, but it's really just your biases infecting it. Not sure why you left this comment, to be honest
Just came back from rewatching it. Loved it as much as I did the first time. A woman next to me said that she was bored out of her mind. The film is definitely not for everyone, but let's not act snotty about it guys, let's just appreciate that this film was even made, that a studio gave a film like this a chance and gave Denis Villeneuve free range. It's funny how history has literally repeated it'self here. It remains to be seen as to how BR49 will be looked at in the future. But I personally believe that this film will inspire people. And that's fine with me.

@@grouchyjudge That’s pretty much what I thought was the reason people online claim to like it. It’s one of the few slow films in awhile. The thing is that I feel like it has completely generic Hollywood sequel plot, and it didn’t really revolutionize things like the first Blade Runner. I get thinking it’s ingenious compared to a Marvel movie or something, but alongside Space Odyssey or the First Blade Runner it didn’t bring anything new to the table and it’s not going to hold up. It’s just going to remembered as an unusually slow movie for the last decade.
As a huge fan of the original Blade Runner, I was damn worried that they would go in the typical reboot/sequel fashion with this. Blade Runner is one of those films that doesn't really need a sequel, it's a perfect self-contained story. So I've never been so nervous about stepping into a theater before. But boy oh boy, was I glad to be wrong. Best movie of the year, and I'd even go as far as to say it's one of the best sequels ever made, on par with films like Empire Strikes Back and The Godfather Part II. It may sound like I'm overpraising it but seriously, it's THAT good. I fully agree that it's not a film for everyone and for those that found it boring and slow, I accept those opinions. But god damn, I loved it.
Agreed. I was happy and nervous when I heard a sequel was being made, especially since the original Blade Runner is my favorite movie. Likewise I was mostly encouraged by the previews, but I had a lingering fear that it would be a lame action movie made to look like BR. But the movie turned out to be very good, exceeding even my higher hopes, and it is completely 'worthy' of the original.
I watched both movies back to back. The first one is waaayy more entertaining and intriguing even for a "simpleton" like me. You cant appreciate the 2nd one unless you're a hardcore fan. The netflix one(altered carbon) is more fun but it can be cheesy at times but yeah, better for casuals.
@@seraby7151 I watched blade runner 2049 without even seeing the first one and I loved it. I immediately watched the first one after wards, I still liked 2049 more than the first one.
I didn’t think Hollywood was even capable of producing a movie like this anymore. I was utterly blown away and I left the theater speechless and deep in thought. It was bold and brave - I’d dare say that modern movie audiences don’t deserve a film this good. This isn’t generic 21st century popcorn fodder, this is fucking art.
Possibly the best movie Ive seen the last decade. Dont remember having such a powerful experience in a movie theater since I was a young impressionable kid.
This is my #1 movie and it will probably keep that spot for ever. It is just so good... The first time i saw it i got so mesmerised by the visuals and music that i had to watch it again the next day to understand every detail.

Seriously though, this movie was phenomenal! I personally had never seen the original Blade Runner and went to go see 2049 thinking it would be like all the other reboots, where seeing the original didn't matter. BOY WAS I WRONG! That being said, it was still even a great movie without knowing the full picture, since it revolved around a new character and his own new story line, it was all so original and unique that I completely enjoyed it even though I missed a ton of stuff. I actually enjoyed it os much I decided to watch the original afterwards and then go back and watch 2049 again just to see how much I had actually missed, and my lord does it ever make a difference lol Again, I don't think it was completely necessary cause 2049 is just an all around great movie, but seeing the original just makes it THAT much better.
Vicarious 14 Me too,I actually liked the movie,I went to see it with my dad(a huge blade runner fan) and we both liked it a lot. It would be a shame if it was underestimated by the public...
That's interesting that you enjoyed BR2049 WITHOUT having seen the original movie. You're a great test subject of the worth of the movie because you had no pre-conceived ideas going in. It's a great movie which needs to be seen a few times to really appreciate it. Of course the first one was awesome but it's really, like you said, a different movie. All these people who hated BR2049 just wanted a re-hash of first movie. Hampton Fancer, who frickin' wrote both movies, KNOWS what he's doing better than all of us.
I watched all the trailers and just assumed Ryan was a human, thus my mind was blown within the first 5 minutes of the film, and continued to be shattered into millions of pieces throughout the rest of the film.
Damned perfect movie. It really cemented my love for Villeneuve as a director, having seen Sicario and Arrival (and loved both). Can't wait for his interpretation of Dune.
A perfect sequel. There are so very few of those out there. Empire strikes back, godfather part 2, T2, and 2049. Like you said, most others are just a rehash. This is something totally different and oh so special.
When I first finished this movie I didn't really like certain elements and characters but when I dive into it I actually find myself loving the movie even more, which is what happened when I first watched Blade Runner. Blade Runner 2049 is a damn good movie that Hollywood doesn't have the guts to appreciate.
Please take your time and get better my dude But yeah please please PLEASE make more videos on blade runner Like give us your interpretation on blackout 2020 and the other shorts I enjoy your content -CJ
I hate how cinema works. The good stuff is thrown to the side while the piece of shit movies like Transformers and Jurassic World make loads of cheddar...
Cheezus Mice By that logic couldn't you also blame the market and the need for profit? If filmmakers didn't need to make a profit to stay afloat then every movie would be a passion project and therefore more well thought out, well written and well paced movies would be created.
The director released a 15 minute short film taking place between the first and second film called Blade Runner Black Out 2022 that helps to clarify some of the references made in 2049, and its available to stream on Crunchyroll though also believe its on youtube as well. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoyed Blade Runner 2049 or who plans to see it.
Here we are in 2019. Watching this video describing 2049 released in 2017. Nice vid by the way. I still say over the past few years my most favorite movies based on older films is Blade Runner 2049 and Fury Road. These two will be remembered for years on.
The shorts created to bridge the stories are equally impressive given how short they are. I recently rewatched everything back-to-back-to-back (starting with the Final Cut of the original) and my brain melted from the awesomness of it all.
It's a shame nobody went to see the movie, coz 2049 has been one of, if not the most amazing experience I've had on a cinema. The movie is incredibly good on it's own but what set the experience apart were the visuals and especially the audio. I went with a friend and we went forward to the third line of the cinema (we were alone). And it was freaking intense. The final scene with the protag fighting the chick had my jaw dropped the whole fuckin time. 10/10 experience on the theaters, 8,5/10 movie. Best of the year.
I tried whatching it on Netflix, but it was just too slow for me. Watched Maybe 40 minutes? And not a whole lot happened. Maybe it gets really good later.
@@grouchyjudge I dont think you need action every 5 minutes - Shawshank redemption is great. This movie was too slow for me, it did not do enough to reel me in. In my opinion!
my favorite part of the movie was when jared leto's character at the very end of the movie looked up to the main character silently said "it's morbin time" and the movie ended so you had to wait 5 years till morbius came out to reveal his origin.
2:24 This movie doesn’t have the callbacks like force awakens does“. Actually it does in some scenes. The most obvious one being Gaff’s cameo, and his origami figure. It’s used as foreshadowing (I think) for the wooden horse figure. There was a very subtle reference to the book: when Deckard’s dog shows up in silhouette, I suspected that it was, for a few seconds, meant to resemble a sheep. Deckard in the book was desperate to own a real one. Although they are dark and hard to see, Tyrell’s pyramids are shown before Wallace’s much larger company appears. And then there are the Pan Am and Atari neon advertisements from the original. I don’t see how that is much different to the Force Awakens showing the Millennium Falcon’s hologram chess game and the ball that Luke trained with.
I actually watched this movie without having seen the original Blade Runner and although i knew the bare minimum about how the universe in Blade Runner worked, i did feel pretty confused at times. That being said, it did not stop me from enjoying this movie whatsoever. There is just so much goddam talent jammed into this movie, the acting is fantastic, it looks absolutely gorgeous and i havent seen anything like it ever before or ever since, the soundtrack is awesome and even if i missed out on a lot of context on my first watch there was stil a ton of thought provoking concepts, clever dialogue to be appreciated and engaging stories to follow along with. This movie is a masterpiece.
Same here I didn't watch the first movie before watching this one. And I agree with you. This movie is an absolute Masterpiece it hands down the best movie I've ever seen.
Total Freedom Living I agree with you. It’s been about 2 years since this movie came out and I have yet to see anything like or even remotely close to it. Absolutely one best movies off all time and Instant classic
Among one of the greatest sequals because it uses the concept of the original and expands forms it into it's own story. The reason why I think this is a much needed watch for filmmakers is because there are a lot of stories that have already been told but this movie tells a different story but is based on the same premise of the original. 10/10, it's on my top 5.
MARCUS! Break it down man, I feel like you can bring an extremely informed perspective on the film that new viewers like myself can understand. Especially since you do an incredible job tying consistent themes from the old property to the new one, explaining how they're expanded upon in killer sequels (like your Samurai Jack review). Thanks for the great content, and my day a lil more hilarious one vid at a time B^)
Blade Runner 2049 is easily the best looking film I've seen next to Mad Max Fury Road in the last decade or more. Add the really absorbing story and it's one of the best films I've seen ever.
I was suddenly reminded I haven't rewatched this one yet, and it's easily one of my fave movies from the last decade or so. Time to remedy that. Nice vid. :)
I have really enjoyed so many of your videos - but this really helps me realize you get it all. My girlfriend, who doesn't normally like thoughtful films that I enjoy loved this film.
There was 1 main action scene in the film ..in the junk yard were luv was directing the rockets. That 1 action scene sticks in your mind more than all the non stop mayhem in all the transformer films
this video is the blade runner of movie reviews. Fantastic, and you're right, hollywood does not make movies like this, but DENIS VILLENEUVE does. He's such a fantastic director
Watched this in an almost empty cinema at midnight. Utterly got lost in it. Nothing rushed, nothing force fed, it's a world that exists without you and you're there to catch up. It's a Bladerunner movie, but it isn't Bladerunner. It's fantastic. Love it.
Scene-by-scene... Please! Finally got to watch this movie and really liked it. Was a fan of the original and the book, and to see someone make a sequel who actually understood the original and expanded on it rather do a call-back filled remake was so refreshing!
BR2049 feels like a generational upgrade over the first film, hitting many of the same marks but with greater precision and detail, as well as providing its own insights that fit perfectly alongside the themes of the original. It's such an insane balancing that it pulls off effortlessly.
i love that the director even managed to get the studio to make 3 additional short films to add some of the story of what happened in between 2049 and the first film. and since i had watched every single one of them in addition it made the film even more enjoyable for me, since the small things they refference made a lot of sense. funnly enough this movie gave me some of the same satifaction as when you piece togheather the lore of the dark souls games
2049 is more plot driven and less of a mood piece. But while I really enjoyed it I disagree with the video, the original has an incredible amount of ideas and emotion in it too. It isn't one note at all.
I doubt OP actually understood the original. While the visuals are a large part of the appeal of it, philosophy is another huge aspect of it. It posits man by creating replicants, fully self-aware beings, aspiring to godhood. It confronts the viewer with the question of whether replicants by virtue of their self-awareness should be afforded human dignity and right-of-life. And perhaps most importantly of all, it contrasts Deckard, a human, who kills other self-aware beings with Roy, a replicant, who despite having ample reason to kill Deckard decides to save his life even as he's dying. It is by virtue of these rich themes and their reinforcement by the aesthetics that Blade Runner was such an incredible film, and continuous to be admired today, despite its simplistic plot. The new film is in many ways the opposite. There is no longer any philosophical musings on what replicants mean to the concept of humanity (except if you count the plot point of a replicant having had a child, which I don't because the film is always in a hurry to move on with the plot whenever it comes up, never stopping to elaborate). Instead it's a plot twist thriller more than a noir, and is fine enough at what it does. But in terms of greatness I think it's far behind the original.
I would literally rewatch the film just for the sound design even if all other parts weren’t also fucking awesome. Part of the reason the fights work so well in their brevity is because how well the soundscapes weave into them. The gun sounds alone have SO much impact that it gives you anxiety whenever you see someone pull one out.
dude... i actually thought that you would nitpick the shit out of this movie, by knowing you and your typical content i was pretty sure of what was i going to get. Not typicaly what i would expect, Great video!!!
It’s The Godfather Part II of the sci-fi genre. Stands on its own, but perfectly compliments the original. One of my favorite movies of all time. PS watch it on shrooms. Unreal experience.
This was a great sequel! Especially compared to other big budget science fiction movies! I saw this film at 1 am in Universal City, before opening night.. After leaving the theater, I went home and had so many question. As soon as I got back home I started reading "Do androids dream of electric sheep?" again. Re reading the book captivated me so much! And as a production sound guy working in LA! I'm so happy that movies like this still get made. Inspiring!
Man, I remember how I was like "Why" when I heard Drax was cast as Dave Bautista. Then he actually took acting classes, delivered a great performance in GOTG1, and then delivered a really terrific performance for his role here. He sadly wasn't in the movie much, but the short 2048 or whatever it was called with him was simply a treat. I'm now actively looking forward to him being in more roles. Which I find is crazy considering that he's a WWE wrestler who was one of the most wooden voices on the roster. He literally said "Basketballs don't hold grudges" and he was pretty rough to watch at times. What a turnaround, what a glow-up.
When I was in the theaters and I saw the trailer for this movie the first time, it took me about 5 seconds to get the whole "No way, is this Blade Runner???" Vibe, and that was purely from the visuals. The consistency of tone and setting is astounding, it let the world of blade runner speak for itself.
I agree with...... well, pretty much everything you mentioned, man. Good review. I feel like this flick shouldn't exist. A Hollywood studio taking the chance and having the balls to make art over a forgettable , mediocre, politically correct, cash grab piece of shit movie. Blade Runner 2049 restored my belief in the magic of movies. It was made for the fans, by fans. I love how it didn't dumb down itself and sell out to be more commercially successful. I don't judge a film on amount of money it made at box office. It's ironic how this film's weakness is it's greatest strengh. It's box office numbers are not good because it was made and marketed to the fans. I fucking love that. Going to this movie... I had my mind ready to except the disappointment, wishing they never bothered and just left Blade Runner IP alone. I'm not a fan of sequels, remakes, reboots, and these boring ,one- dimensional action franchises that beat a dead horse putting out a sequel every year because audiences keep paying for it. However.... sometimes... There is an exception... Like "The Dark Knight", "Terminator 2", "Empire Strikes Back", "Godfather 2"... a sequel superior to its predecessor is quite rare... and in my mind i was hoping BR2049 would be at least a worthy sequel since surpassing first BR could not be done.... But I was wrong... I love first "Blade Runner"... But "2049", I can't deny it ... it did the impossible, it is surpassed a legendary film. It was a masterpiece. It was perfect. The cast, director, writing, acting, all flawless. The soundtrack is amazing. Best visuals I have ever seen. This was 2nd time in my life that a film made me cry(First time was the "Fox and the Hound" when I was 5) This movie was made with a lot of care. I feel like this movie was made just for me. I can't say enough how much this movie means to me. I'm planning on seeing it again in theaters a few more times. I opted for 3-D first time , now I wanna see it in IMAX. I love this film. It's now my favorite movie of all time. Person who love and know good movies will love it too. A masterpiece.
I actualy feel the same thing. this movie was perfect in every way. It's the first time I feel actual love to a movie. I went into it not even knowing about the first blade runner. I feel that this movie was made only for me to watch it. Words can't describe how perfect and flawless this movie is. only emotions can. The only difference is that I am 13 and I have seen it 4 times.
2049 is as close to a perfect movie as I'll ever get. I can't stop thinking about it.
You and me both, Jotun. I need to see it again soon.
Yeah, Austen. I've already seen it twice. Kinda wanna go again.

A perfect sequel. There are so very few of those out there. Empire strikes back, godfather part 2, T2, and 2049. Like you said, most others are just a rehash. This is something totally different and oh so special.
For like general pop films I non ironicaly would include shrek 2 and sam reimis spider man 2
Dark knight, fury road, hell might even throw in shrek 2
Bladerunner 2049 was beautiful and emotional. A true work of art.
Marcus, talk about how they took clone wars off of Netflix
Jonanator did they really?
Kyon they did October 7'th
Jonanator guess they gotta make room for rebels, that shtty show
But it wasn't.
Jonanator lol I just watched it yesterday
When I first finished this movie I didn't really like certain elements and characters but when I dive into it I actually find myself loving the movie even more, which is what happened when I first watched Blade Runner. Blade Runner 2049 is a damn good movie that Hollywood doesn't have the guts to appreciate.
Still being astounded by this movie in 2019. RIP Rutger, a legend.
I rate Blade Runner 2049...
...Never have I ever seen my own mum want to rewatch and talk about a movie so much after she saw it in the cinema/10
Please take your time and get better my dude
But yeah please please PLEASE make more videos on blade runner
Like give us your interpretation on blackout 2020 and the other shorts
I enjoy your content

Nice profile pic
Dude was clearly sick recording this lol, can tell in his voice
I hate how cinema works. The good stuff is thrown to the side while the piece of shit movies like Transformers and Jurassic World make loads of cheddar...
That's because that's what people watch. It's not the cinemas fault it's our fault.
It's because it needs to sell to the Chinese and robots exploding is pretty cross cultural, while characters and stuff get easily lost in translation
Jurassic World wasnt even bad...
Jurassic World isn't shit Mediocre Transformers yeah that's shit
Cheezus Mice By that logic couldn't you also blame the market and the need for profit? If filmmakers didn't need to make a profit to stay afloat then every movie would be a passion project and therefore more well thought out, well written and well paced movies would be created.
The director released a 15 minute short film taking place between the first and second film called Blade Runner Black Out 2022 that helps to clarify some of the references made in 2049, and its available to stream on Crunchyroll though also believe its on youtube as well. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoyed Blade Runner 2049 or who plans to see it.
Here we are in 2019. Watching this video describing 2049 released in 2017. Nice vid by the way.
I still say over the past few years my most favorite movies based on older films is Blade Runner 2049 and Fury Road. These two will be remembered for years on.
The shorts created to bridge the stories are equally impressive given how short they are. I recently rewatched everything back-to-back-to-back (starting with the Final Cut of the original) and my brain melted from the awesomness of it all.
Scene by scene, Scene By Scene, SCENE BY SCENE!!!!
It's a rarity to come across movies like these that will age like fine wine.
This is honestly probably my favorite movie, I get something more from it everytime I see it
The score was an effing masterpiece
Saw the original in 1982. I was 16 and it blew me away. Saw the second and it was equally good.
It's a shame nobody went to see the movie, coz 2049 has been one of, if not the most amazing experience I've had on a cinema.
The movie is incredibly good on it's own but what set the experience apart were the visuals and especially the audio. I went with a friend and we went forward to the third line of the cinema (we were alone). And it was freaking intense.
The final scene with the protag fighting the chick had my jaw dropped the whole fuckin time.
10/10 experience on the theaters, 8,5/10 movie. Best of the year.
I tried whatching it on Netflix, but it was just too slow for me. Watched Maybe 40 minutes? And not a whole lot happened. Maybe it gets really good later.
@@grouchyjudge I dont think you need action every 5 minutes - Shawshank redemption is great. This movie was too slow for me, it did not do enough to reel me in. In my opinion!
youre a smart man, im so glad of find this chanell. Saludos desde Chile!
I hadn't seen the original movie when I watched Bladerunner 2049, and it still became one of my favorite movies of all time instantly.
So yeah. Probably one of the best films ever made.
undeniably
Thankyou hal
2+ years later and the movie’s soundtrack playing in the background of your video just hits me hard. This movie was so damn amazing
These two movies are probably two of the best yet
Need Marcus to make a “Why it Rocks” series and start off with the Blade Runner series
Get well soon!
my favorite part of the movie was when jared leto's character at the very end of the movie looked up to the main character silently said "it's morbin time" and the movie ended so you had to wait 5 years till morbius came out to reveal his origin.
2:24
This movie doesn’t have the callbacks like force awakens does“. Actually it does in some scenes. The most obvious one being Gaff’s cameo, and his origami figure. It’s used as foreshadowing (I think) for the wooden horse figure. There was a very subtle reference to the book: when Deckard’s dog shows up in silhouette, I suspected that it was, for a few seconds, meant to resemble a sheep. Deckard in the book was desperate to own a real one.
Although they are dark and hard to see, Tyrell’s pyramids are shown before Wallace’s much larger company appears.
And then there are the Pan Am and Atari neon advertisements from the original. I don’t see how that is much different to the Force Awakens showing the Millennium Falcon’s hologram chess game and the ball that Luke trained with.
Both of these movies are some of my favorite movies ever.
To me it's more than a movie, it's an experience, and atmosphere you enter.
I agree completely, both masterpieces.
I actually watched this movie without having seen the original Blade Runner and although i knew the bare minimum about how the universe in Blade Runner worked, i did feel pretty confused at times. That being said, it did not stop me from enjoying this movie whatsoever. There is just so much goddam talent jammed into this movie, the acting is fantastic, it looks absolutely gorgeous and i havent seen anything like it ever before or ever since, the soundtrack is awesome and even if i missed out on a lot of context on my first watch there was stil a ton of thought provoking concepts, clever dialogue to be appreciated and engaging stories to follow along with. This movie is a masterpiece.
Same here I didn't watch the first movie before watching this one. And I agree with you.
This movie is an absolute Masterpiece it hands down the best movie I've ever seen.
Officer KD6-3.7 YES!! Greatest film ever made!!
Total Freedom Living I agree with you. It’s been about 2 years since this movie came out and I have yet to see anything like or even remotely close to it. Absolutely one best movies off all time and Instant classic
Among one of the greatest sequals because it uses the concept of the original and expands forms it into it's own story. The reason why I think this is a much needed watch for filmmakers is because there are a lot of stories that have already been told but this movie tells a different story but is based on the same premise of the original. 10/10, it's on my top 5.
This is the celluloid equivalent of a Dali painting. A true masterpiece
MARCUS! Break it down man, I feel like you can bring an extremely informed perspective on the film that new viewers like myself can understand. Especially since you do an incredible job tying consistent themes from the old property to the new one, explaining how they're expanded upon in killer sequels (like your Samurai Jack review). Thanks for the great content, and my day a lil more hilarious one vid at a time B^)
Hell yeah a scene by scene would be great
In my opinion it's a modern masterpiece, one of very few. Trust in Denis Villeneuve!
“Full sequel - a real sequel” -
That is it！Thank you.
As soon as Sea Wall started playing in the background I got chills. I love the score for this film
Honestly I think 2049 will be financially successful in the long run similar to the original. It without a doubt is cult classic material.
This movie was so masterful I adored it, couldn’t stop thinking about it after viewing
bruh you congested?
Check this out bruh: 6:45
I keep coming back to this movie every year. Just watched it today,! Masterpiece
Blade Runner 2049 is easily the best looking film I've seen next to Mad Max Fury Road in the last decade or more. Add the really absorbing story and it's one of the best films I've seen ever.
Out of all the other film critic I have watched so far, I so happened to agree just about most of the points you made about this movie, spot on!!!
I have a new respect for the two blade runners.
“Doesn’t have call backs” says it as he shows harrison ford on screen lmao
Marcus, it's almost been two years, when's that scene by scene, huh!?
I was suddenly reminded I haven't rewatched this one yet, and it's easily one of my fave movies from the last decade or so. Time to remedy that. Nice vid. :)
Now for the Dune movie I am hyped. Real substantial hype
I have really enjoyed so many of your videos - but this really helps me realize you get it all. My girlfriend, who doesn't normally like thoughtful films that I enjoy loved this film.
scene by scene might be a bit extreme, but I wouldn't mind seeing a video essay of this movie from you m' dude
There was 1 main action scene in the film ..in the junk yard were luv was directing the rockets. That 1 action scene sticks in your mind more than all the non stop mayhem in all the transformer films
this video is the blade runner of movie reviews. Fantastic, and you're right, hollywood does not make movies like this, but DENIS VILLENEUVE does. He's such a fantastic director
Watched this in an almost empty cinema at midnight. Utterly got lost in it. Nothing rushed, nothing force fed, it's a world that exists without you and you're there to catch up. It's a Bladerunner movie, but it isn't Bladerunner. It's fantastic. Love it.
liked it more than the original, and i've seen Scott's version like 4 times.
Holy shit, how haven't I seen a Cosmonaut video on Blade Runner yet? Literally two of my favorite things
2049 is dang near in my top 10 favorite movies haha I love it
Scene-by-scene... Please! Finally got to watch this movie and really liked it. Was a fan of the original and the book, and to see someone make a sequel who actually understood the original and expanded on it rather do a call-back filled remake was so refreshing!
Blade runner 2049= best movie of 2017 and best sequel ever made
jonathan sparks YES!!
BR2049 feels like a generational upgrade over the first film, hitting many of the same marks but with greater precision and detail, as well as providing its own insights that fit perfectly alongside the themes of the original. It's such an insane balancing that it pulls off effortlessly.
Damn there was a one month period of no comment activity until yours
I disagree on something, you don't really need to watch the first one, this movie stands on it's own so well that it can do that
i love that the director even managed to get the studio to make 3 additional short films to add some of the story of what happened in between 2049 and the first film. and since i had watched every single one of them in addition it made the film even more enjoyable for me, since the small things they refference made a lot of sense. funnly enough this movie gave me some of the same satifaction as when you piece togheather the lore of the dark souls games
2049 is more plot driven and less of a mood piece. But while I really enjoyed it I disagree with the video, the original has an incredible amount of ideas and emotion in it too. It isn't one note at all.
I doubt OP actually understood the original. While the visuals are a large part of the appeal of it, philosophy is another huge aspect of it. It posits man by creating replicants, fully self-aware beings, aspiring to godhood. It confronts the viewer with the question of whether replicants by virtue of their self-awareness should be afforded human dignity and right-of-life. And perhaps most importantly of all, it contrasts Deckard, a human, who kills other self-aware beings with Roy, a replicant, who despite having ample reason to kill Deckard decides to save his life even as he's dying.
It is by virtue of these rich themes and their reinforcement by the aesthetics that Blade Runner was such an incredible film, and continuous to be admired today, despite its simplistic plot. The new film is in many ways the opposite. There is no longer any philosophical musings on what replicants mean to the concept of humanity (except if you count the plot point of a replicant having had a child, which I don't because the film is always in a hurry to move on with the plot whenever it comes up, never stopping to elaborate). Instead it's a plot twist thriller more than a noir, and is fine enough at what it does. But in terms of greatness I think it's far behind the original.
I would literally rewatch the film just for the sound design even if all other parts weren’t also fucking awesome. Part of the reason the fights work so well in their brevity is because how well the soundscapes weave into them. The gun sounds alone have SO much impact that it gives you anxiety whenever you see someone pull one out.
Do it. Extended review of Bladerunner 2049!
The fact that there are a lot of mixed views about this film makes me love it even more.
do a scene by scene!
dude... i actually thought that you would nitpick the shit out of this movie, by knowing you and your typical content i was pretty sure of what was i going to get. Not typicaly what i would expect, Great video!!!
Please do scene by scene
Pleased do a full video on this movie. I love your reviews, and this movie is definitely worth it.
It’s The Godfather Part II of the sci-fi genre. Stands on its own, but perfectly compliments the original. One of my favorite movies of all time.
PS watch it on shrooms. Unreal experience.
drmuffin1080 YES!! Love watching it after smoking a bowl. Such a perfect film.
This was a great sequel! Especially compared to other big budget science fiction movies! I saw this film at 1 am in Universal City, before opening night.. After leaving the theater, I went home and had so many question. As soon as I got back home I started reading "Do androids dream of electric sheep?" again. Re reading the book captivated me so much! And as a production sound guy working in LA! I'm so happy that movies like this still get made. Inspiring!
This is probably the closest thing to a cinematic masterpiece that Hollywood has ever produced.
Man, I remember how I was like "Why" when I heard Drax was cast as Dave Bautista. Then he actually took acting classes, delivered a great performance in GOTG1, and then delivered a really terrific performance for his role here. He sadly wasn't in the movie much, but the short 2048 or whatever it was called with him was simply a treat. I'm now actively looking forward to him being in more roles. Which I find is crazy considering that he's a WWE wrestler who was one of the most wooden voices on the roster. He literally said "Basketballs don't hold grudges" and he was pretty rough to watch at times. What a turnaround, what a glow-up.
You’re right is not fury road it’s better.
When I was in the theaters and I saw the trailer for this movie the first time, it took me about 5 seconds to get the whole "No way, is this Blade Runner???" Vibe, and that was purely from the visuals. The consistency of tone and setting is astounding, it let the world of blade runner speak for itself.
10/10 from me. Wish I had seen it at the cinema more than once.
Dis is one of the greatest sci fi’s of all time in my opinion
I agree with...... well, pretty much everything you mentioned, man. Good review.
I feel like this flick shouldn't exist.
A Hollywood studio taking the chance and having the balls to make art over a forgettable , mediocre, politically correct, cash grab piece of shit movie.
Blade Runner 2049 restored my belief in the magic of movies.
It was made for the fans, by fans.
I love how it didn't dumb down itself and sell out to be more commercially successful.
I don't judge a film on amount of money it made at box office.
It's ironic how this film's weakness is it's greatest strengh.
It's box office numbers are not good because it was made and marketed to the fans.
I fucking love that.
Going to this movie... I had my mind ready to except the disappointment, wishing they never bothered and just left Blade Runner IP alone. I'm not a fan of sequels, remakes, reboots, and these boring ,one- dimensional action franchises that beat a dead horse putting out a sequel every year because audiences keep paying for it.
However.... sometimes...
There is an exception...
Like "The Dark Knight", "Terminator 2", "Empire Strikes Back", "Godfather 2"... a sequel superior to its predecessor is quite rare... and in my mind i was hoping BR2049 would be at least a worthy sequel since surpassing first BR could not be done....
But I was wrong...
I love first "Blade Runner"... But "2049", I can't deny it ... it did the impossible, it is surpassed a legendary film. It was a masterpiece. It was perfect. The cast, director, writing, acting, all flawless.
The soundtrack is amazing. Best visuals I have ever seen.
This was 2nd time in my life that a film made me cry(First time was the "Fox and the Hound" when I was 5)
This movie was made with a lot of care.
I feel like this movie was made just for me.
I can't say enough how much this movie means to me. I'm planning on seeing it again in theaters a few more times. I opted for 3-D first time , now I wanna see it in IMAX.
I love this film.
It's now my favorite movie of all time.
Person who love and know good movies will love it too.
A masterpiece.
I actualy feel the same thing. this movie was perfect in every way. It's the first time I feel actual love to a movie. I went into it not even knowing about the first blade runner. I feel that this movie was made only for me to watch it. Words can't describe how perfect and flawless this movie is. only emotions can. The only difference is that I am 13 and I have seen it 4 times.
This and Drive are my two favourite movies
