well there's the whole replicant cells rebellion about to hit the fan so i'm guessing a sequel could be forthcoming.

that's what I was thinking. Thought it was actually gonna be in the last part of this one and plus they still have Wallace alive and well and he's the big baddy so you still have your main antagonist

Lots of symbolism...

Reflected from our own society...

Women vs. Men theme...he begins by taking out the old man (good job again Dave)
Women are in positions of authority, but still being controlled by men behind the scenes.

The illuminati themes, everywhere in this movie...child abuse/labor/big brother/etc. The left eye removed from the only character that "knows"

motivations of those inspired, vs. those saddled...

Tons of stuff

Olmos shows him the sheep...he's letting him know he's just livestock to go with the flow unless he changes course...whereas the horse symbolizes freedom

The question, is Deckard a replicant continues

It would take me weeks to do a full breakdown

i think your'e being harsh and i get it as a blade runner fanboy myself.

i'm not about to say it's better than the first but i understand why someone who maybe only saw blade runner for the first time relatively recently would think so

br2049 will not and can not have the same legacy as the original, just cant happen for many reasons

that said it's a wonderful movie and as far as sci fi sequels go it's as good as it gets and exceeded any reasonable expectations for what this was going to be.

i'll see it again while it's still in theaters

meh, it's one article

i mean it's one of those things, i'm not going to argue with someone over which was better. Both are amazing movies in their own right.

My wife enjoyed the movie more than I did, and I really enjoyed it.

Was awesome.

Love, Love, Love that the twist was not what I expected (Gosling being the child).

I pretty much watched both films back to back this weekend

Bladerunner in the morning and then went to see 2049 that night.

Balerunner:2049 >>>>>>>>>>> Bladerunner

it was far too long for my tastes. If they just cut off one second of each ryan gosling bloodied face closeup, it could have easily shaved off 20 minutes of the movie.

The story was solid. They did a good job following the original's lead (at least director's cut) of using actions to demonstrate what was going on vs. dialog. The score was fantastic as was the cinematography. The score for the original was superior, but that is one of the best scores I know of.

the acting was fantastic too, except for Ford. Who pretty much just plays teh same character in the last 15-20 years.

They didn't give him much ... what's he supposed to do in the water-fight scene, gurgle?
