Like really, I want to hear more.

I have waited a long time to see this. It is not a movie for the casual viewer. But...I think most people will get it. The visuals are stunning. Just like the original. Dystopian movies are de riguer...luckily Ridley has very little to do with this movie as he really has screwed up too many things lately...

First Batch of Critics Reviews for BLADE RUNNER 2049

Rolling Stone - Villeneuve's dazzling sequel is on its own march to screen legend. Gosling and Ford are double dynamite in a mesmerizing mindbender that asks new questions meant to tantalize, provoke and keep us up nights. Would you have it any other way? 3.5/4

Entertainment Weekly - Even when its emotions risk running as cool as its palette, 2049 reaches for, and finds, something remarkable: the elevation of mainstream moviemaking to high art. A-

Consequence of Sound - It may seem premature to ascribe the word 'masterpiece' to a legacyquel of a heady sci-fi head-scratcher from the '80s, but its audacity and formal perfection - not to mention its thematic weight - leave no other alternative. A

London Evening Standard - Forty years after his death, people still argue over which Elvis, the slim young Adonis or the portly middle aged crooner, was better. Forty years from now, people may be having that debate about these Blade Runners. 5/5

Arizona Republic - As the break between installments would suggest, it's a furthering of not just the original story but the original world, and that's quite an accomplishment. 4/5

Metro - Rather than being overly beholden to its predecessor it immediately, but subtly, expands the world, while unraveling its mysterious and meandering plot in a surprising and refreshingly forthright manner. 4/5

IGN Movies - It organically expands and grows what came before. It's a deep, rich, smart film that's visually awesome and full of great sci-fi concepts, and one that was well worth the 35-year wait. 9.7/10

Chicago Tribune - Will cinematographer Roger Deakins, having been nominated for an Academy Award 13 times, finally receive a damn Oscar? Yes. I hope it's yes. It should be "yes." 3/4

Nerdist - Blade Runner 2049 supersedes its predecessor in a number of ways, and is not only a brilliant sci-fi movie, but one of the best movies of the year. 4.5/5

The Playlist - At the helm and in complete command of his movie with dark, ambient magic, Denis Villeneuve crafts a mysterious noir thriller the pushes existential boundaries, and nails the essence of the "Blade Runner" spirit. B+

Independent UK - Like The Godfather Part II, it's a sequel to a very celebrated film which may actually be better than the original. 5/5

Guardian - It just has to be experienced on the biggest screen possible. Blade Runner 2049 is a narcotic spectacle of eerie and pitiless vastness, by turns satirical, tragic and romantic. 5/5

Forbes - It looks great and boasts solid performances from an underused cast, but (like the original) it's a triumph of style over substance. 5/10

Total Film - Villeneuve's film is a direct continuation in every respect; it's difficult to imagine anyone - even Ridley Scott - making a better Blade Runner sequel. 5/5

Empire Magazine - Visually immaculate, swirling with themes as heart-rending as they are mind-twisting, 2049 is, without doubt, a good year. And one of 2017's best. 5/5

The Hollywood Reporter - A voluptuous mood bath that's impressively sustained from beginning to end.

Variety - A visually breathtaking, long-fuse action movie whose unconventional thrills could be described as many things - from tantalizing to tedious - but never "artificially intelligent."

Digital Spy - Blade Runner 2049 offers a stunning, immersive and fascinating journey through a strange and familiar world. 4/5

USA Today - Super-stylish and deeply human - even with androids and holograms around - the spectacular follow-up takes the detective story of the first film and turns it into a grand mythology of identity, memory, creation and revolution. 4/4

 

[DM1982]

Wow.

What reviews.

Sounds like the only way the film coulda been better is if it shows Ana de arma's sweet little butthole

 

[RoryFan]

I'll wait for Mark Kermode to review it as usual.

 

[Anung Un Rama]

The Forbes douche is a heretic and a blasphemer.

That's where the poop comes out. You shouldn't want to interact with that.

The anus is an erogenous zone.

And, presumably, Ana knows how to clean her asshole properly after a shit.

If you're in, it makes this even more interesting to me. You seem to have a good grasp of this sort of thing judging by your posting over the years. I would have guessed you to be a fan of these types of films just based off that.


I'm assuming this has to be experienced on iMax then?

 

[AGGAMEMNON66]

Go on...




Like really, I want to hear more.

When are you going to catch it bud?


Imma wait a few weeks personally.


Also, sort of off topic (and I'll have to try and get a short review up in your thread about it).. caught 'It' a few weeks back. I really dug it, there was a lot of cool subtlety in the film mixed with some straight forward things too that I liked. Well paced too.



Also -Amy Adams has to play the adult version of what's her face. Has. To.

I am going to see it on iMax in a few weeks as well...

 

[Dan O]

This will be the first movie I've seen in theatres in a loooong time.


Very excite

 

[Myrddin Wild]

Hmmm... only one out of all those reviews used the word "masterpiece." I'd say there was definitely some sort of cue involved for those original handful of people where so many of them used the word. The one guy that used it here probably got his cue from reading those other reviewz.

I'm just having a bit of fun... but it's really exciting to see so much positivity out there. Must be pretty good.

Goddamn ! That broad is delicious . She’d get 2 minutes of the best time of her life from me ...

tell me what your secret is to last two minutes my friend...

 

[Eazy123]

Really wanna see it with my dad for our annual movie outing together but there’s no way he’s gonna be able to sit for almost three hours. Shit, my attention span has declined the last few years to the point where I don’t know if I can sit that long either.
