Blade Runner 2049 | October 6, 2017 | Villeneuve directs | Full Trailer on Page 40

[Jake Gittes]

Similarly to the original it's visually superlative but emotionally didn't quite get to me. Don't think it needed to be quite this long - like Ignatiy Vishnevetsky said on Twitter, it already feels like a lurching, unwieldy director's cut of a shorter movie - but I do love that a lot of scenes get to breathe in a way that's pretty much alien to 99% of blockbusters, and even minor actors get the space to give memorable performances. Ana de Armas' character is the best which I didn't expect at all. It's a big, weird movie that's fiercely its own thing, mostly for good, sometimes for bad. I'll have to think about it to decide just how well it really comes together, but it's a must-see anyway. Also we need to capture Shay and make him watch this thing Ludovico technique-style.

Also I'll be pleasantly surprised if it really catches on with the GA. It is, shall we say, really not in a hurry to get anywhere or do things that are expected from it, even though it is a mesmerizing spectacle even when little or nothing "happens". Certainly it's not your typical crowd-pleaser.

Mulling over watching this today or tomorrow. If I'm going to do this today, I want to watch the Final Cut once again before heading to the theaters. But my day has been incredibly busy and I will have to make some time gymnastics after 6pm to get in time for the 9:30pm showing. My mom will need a ride at 7pm so there's that, but I will see what I can do. Very much stoked for this.

Yeah, Double Toasted spoke quite a bit about how audiences might not like it. Martin said the first hour could have been 30 minutes and nothing would've been lost. Obviously I haven't seen the movie yet, but when one of the main mother! criticisms from the GA was the pacing of the first hour, I don't think they'll respond well to Blade Runner's first hour. Granted, I can't imagine the GA being angered by this movie, but the pacing is a big question mark   There's also the issue of 

 

Spoiler

Harrison Ford not showing up until the third act, which some might see as mismarketing.

Things from the first hour do pay off later on, and the movie is just so damn confident and beautiful that there's a possibility of a Revenant effect where the audiences just accept the rules of the game (a slim one nevertheless since this is a sci-fi sequel with a decent amount of action in the marketing). Still 3x would be great for this tbh.

Oh God Yes.

 

There’s a scene that goes on for way too long just to show off this one particular effect, the effect isn’t impressive at all.

 

Some scenes could’ve been shortened to the point where a solid half an hour could’ve been saved. The scenes aren’t bad scenes but it felt like they could’ve gotten to the point a lot more quickly. As someone said earlier: this is like watching a directors cut of a shorter movie.

watched the new 4k version of The Final Cut this morning 

 

Seeing this in T-minus 5 hours

[DAJK]

When you were planning on watching this for your Thursday night movie, but she wants to see Mountain Between Us :/

[aabattery]

I somewhat agree that it could do with being shaved down a bit, but it's such a cool world to get lost in. I think that helped it a lot; there was always something interesting to see.

That's the better date option.

 

 

 

......It is a date, right?

Kinda...? Idk not really, but we're going with another couple so..

[The Stingray]

The best movie of the year, imo.

 

[The Futurist]

This movie felt like Deakins porn to be honest and I guess his attitude on set while making the film was like :

 

 

 

[ZattMurdock]

FUCK MY FUCKING LIFE 

 

My stupid ass broken cheap home town theater only will have the dubbed version until next Thursday. There's no way in fucking hell that I'm subjecting myself to see a dubbed version of this, especially the first viewing. No way in fucking hell, I say. 

[AndyK]

Planning on seeing it Sat night but I'm a bit dissapointed that everyone is still talking about the visuals and not much about an amazing plot twist or that "Time to Die" moment.

[Goffe]

Hate to echo everybody’s thoughts, but this is indeed way too long. Not a fan. Possibly Villeneuve second worst.

 

Would give it a 5, maybe 6.

[Elessar]

It's backlash time. Already.
