Fault anything you want about Ghost in The Shell, God knows this board and everyone else buried the crap out of it, but it did look great on the big screen.

 

This also looks great of course and while it does remind me of Ghost in the Shell's looks this still feels different from that to me, a bit more nostalgic perhaps? Not sure, I just felt some sort of anachronism going on when watching this trailer I guess.

 

It's the difference between being a sequel that seems set in the same world versus a remake that could never decide how much of the original world it was.

Jared Leto is a big red flag tho.

 

Guy really thinks he s good.

 

 

 

 

 

Well, he won an Oscar. 

 

The guy has a right to think he's good.

Huh, it's probably just cause I have something to connect this trailer to while I had never seen anything Ghost in the Shell related before watching that movie.

 

Or maybe it's your take, you probably know better.

 

[Dementeleus]

My take is just my take, that's all.

Harrison Ford is the least potent part of the masterpiece that is Blade Runner. What makes that film one of the best of *all time* is not that it has something profound to say (rarely a movie ever does) or convey. No, what makes it so special, is the sublime representation of mood, feelings, impressions. The film is lyrical, poetic, and stark. It creates a canvas where the bittersweet nature of essential human solitude and finitude is painted in a pure form. On top of its glorious visual language, the soundtrack further solidifies the film's almost absolute sublimity. I'm not joking, it almost brings me to tears every time I watch it. 

 

Jesus. This is like a parody those insufferable r/movies thread titles.

Conflicted about the trailer. Never saw original movie and have no idea what it's about. This trailer turns me off RE: generic futuristic CGI looking city art direction. The non city shots look great. Have no desire to watch Harrison Ford, really. 

 

Arrest me and lock me up for two years for blasphemy in Indonesia if you feel so inclined

Before it was generic and overdone, that aesthetic was very distinctly Blade Runner.

I believe you. You haven't seen Blade Runner. 

[Dementeleus]

If you haven't seen the first, I have no idea why you'd be interested in this one.

Was kind of anticipating a Mad Max: Fury Road type of affair. Had never seen the other three - not even heard of them. AND thought MMFR looked like trash when I saw the trailer in theaters. You know how that turned out for me.

 

Unless this is a literal direct sequel, which case I'd just have to get around to watching the original at some point.

As far as I can tell, this is a literal direct sequel.

That's a bit harsh. Blade Runner isn't the be all, end all of famous filmmaking. One can get his run started through Star Wars, Jaws, Back To The Future, Indiana Jones, etc.. Though yes, BR is a must watch if you wanna consider yourself a cinema fan, that I very much agree with.

Visually, Blade Runner changed the game, ask ANY director, production designer, VFX Supervisor, they would break it to you.

 

Game changing movie, as important as Star Wars.

 

Whatever you may think of Ridley Scott, he has been defining & refining the visual codes & aesthetics of mainstream cinema for the last 40 years.

Obviously I was engaging in hyperbole, but only to a degree. There can be no denying that Blade Runner is one of the most influential American films of all time (and in my view, one of the very best) 

 

It's really hard to convince me that it is an optional watch for any serious film nerd.

You can also thank Heavy Metal (Metal Hurlant) for its great influence on Alien and Blade Runner.

 

To make a tacky comparison regarding SF's evolution with rock'n roll (symbolically regardless of chronology):

 

Welles and Verne were Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley.

 

Asimov, Herbert and Bradbury were The Beatles, the Beach Boys and The Rolling Stones.

 

Phillip K. Dick, Heinlein and Clarke were Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin.

 

Heavy Metal "Metal Hurlant" was Judas Priest and Motörhead aka the new wave of science fiction kicking the ass of the genre geezers with a punk edge.

 

All directors that dabble in the genre ever since owe something to those guys trying to materialize those crazy visions scripted and painted on the page.

And Michael Bay is Nickelback

I'd say Limp Bizkit.

[ChipDerby]

I haven't seen Blade Runner, and am looking forward to this.

 

I've also never seen any Godfather or Braveheart, or many other "classics".

Sorry that they all probably suck but y'all remember them fondly because MEMBERBERRIES.
