The person who wrote the long, 5-star review on Nov 8. Blade Runner (original) has long been among my top-5 movies. I am seeing Blade Runner 2049 for the third time tonight. Each time, I am more convinced that the new one (2049) is better than the original -- more subtle, more complex, more beautiful, and possibly, atmospherically, more true to P.K. Dick's novel. Outstanding sound track (again).
Can be summed up in one word - BORING! go see the original.
There is a major problem with Blade Runner 2049, which is that lovers of big-budget sci-fi are bound to misjudge this movie, for one or more of the following reasons: 1. It looks like a remake, so it looks like desperate franchise recycling (another lazy cash-grab?). 2. Gosling, Ford, and Leto? Sounds like an A-list, yet it isn't an easy watch (why the cast doesn't match the movie?). 3. It's super long, super confusing, and it's not FUN! (doesn't line up with other big-budget sci-fi blockbusters). These are all fair judgments, and here's why: somehow, despite the state of Hollywood and its lengthening history of playing it safe by churning out remake after sequel after spin-off after remake sequel, Blade Runner 2049 managed to get made despite this historical trend. The result? A darkly beautiful, unforgettably prescient story of humanity's inevitable blurring of what it means to be human. This is, hands down, one of the finest sci-fi films ever made. But it's not for everyone. Blade Runner 2049 is designed to provoke and to challenge its audience, so if you're not into seeing something different, this film will disappoint you. If video stores still existed, you would find this film on a shelf alongside 2001: A Space Odyssey. It is a rare, rare breed of film, and an instant sci-fi classic.
Walked out and asked for my money back. Was refused because I had stayed longer then twenty mins. Blade runner is the worst movie ever.
Slow, slow, slow. Boring scenes about nothing. The movie is just slow. And the music. Oh my god.
Never walked out of a movie..... till this one. Would have stayed and fallen asleep but the music is so horrendous and loud you can't. Don't watch this movie.
Thank God for the loud music without it you would be asleep within the first 20 minutes of the show. Even with the music you will be hard pressed to remain awake for the duration
Adventure movie. Harrison Ford looked great in the movie.
An epic science fiction movie.
Outstanding scenes. Music was little too loud.
