Can't wait to check this out sometime next week. I'll have to go back and re-watch the original before I go.
 
This was truly great. It's a bit off for a while since it come off emotionless for half the movie, but the moment they.meet deckard everything takes off.

An old Harrison Ford tells me otherwise. He retired and doesn't cut it in action movies anymore.

It is like when Sean Connery played his dad in Indiana Jones.

I don't want to see Han Solo as an old man. Or Deckard. Guys like that don't grow to old age.

that was the best indiana
 
Movie was pretty sweet. It's crazy how the visual aesthetic and world is still very much in tact for the sequel.

I'm planning on seeing it again next week because there was a lot to digest.

BLADE RUNNER 2049 Careens Off Course with Disappointing $31.5 Million Opening

Despite strong reviews and an A- CinemaScore, Denis Villeneuve's big-budget sequel Blade Runner 2049 careened off course in its North American debut even while placing No. 1.

The long-awaited sequel to Ridley Scott's 1982 cult classic grossed $31.5 million from 4,058 theaters, a dismal start for a movie that cost $150 million to make after tax rebates and incentives. Heading into the weekend, all signs pointed to Blade Runner taking in $45 million or more. One issue — the sci-fi epic runs 163 minutes. To boot, it skewed heavily male (71 percent) and older, with 86 percent of the audience over the age of 25, including 63 percent over 35.

Blade Runner 2049 is a huge bet for Alcon Entertainment, which owns the film and co-financed it with Sony. Warner Bros. is handling domestic distribution duties per its deal with Alcon — backed by FedEx mogul Fred Smith — while Sony has international. The event film rolled out in most major markets this weekend, grossing a solid, but not spectacular, $50.2 million for a global bow of $81.5 million. Unless it overperforms in China, Japan and South Korea, where it has yet to open, Blade Runner isn't likely to meet its goal of earning at least $400 million worldwide.

Villeneuve's sequel, made with Scott’s input, stars Ryan Gosling opposite Harrison Ford, who reprises his role as Rick Deckard. Jared Leto, Dave Bautista, Robin Wright and Ana de Armas also star. Blade Runner 2049 debuted notably behind October releases Gravity and The Martian, which each launched to $54 million-plus, as well as behind another long-awaited sequel, Mad Max: Fury Road, which bowed to $45 million domestically in May 2015.

"We're disappointed it didn't have a stronger result in North America. It's a tough one, because Denis made a beautiful movie," says Warners domestic distribution chief Jeff Goldstein. "We definitely played to a more narrow audience than we had hoped for. Where we did do business was in the major markets."

Goldstein is hopeful that Blade Runner 2049 will have strong staying power, predicting that the film will garner major awards attention.

*sigh*

All the failure of Blade Runner does is signal to Hollywood that taking risks doesn't pay off and that the safest course is always the best.

I'm not convinced yet that it will actually fail though. It could be another Mummy situation where very strong international performance saves it or where the film proves to have legs and just keeps making making money weekend after weekend as positive word of mouth spreads. Or both.

We'll see. If the goal is $400 million worldwide, as the article says, I still think it might be able to get there.
 
Fuck the casual audience. I'm glad this wasn't made for them.

Most visually stunning film of all-time (IMO).

So deeply entrenched in Film Noir. Some screenshots I took:

It really is insane that a movie as good looking as Blade Runner was released in 1982.

I think 2049 looks great, but in a lot of respects--most notably the cityscape-- it doesn't look as good as the first film.

The photo that Deckard uses to find the stripper Replicant is also a piece of art unto itself; Vermeer-esque, imo.
Can't find a good image of it doe.
 
I'm going to see it. Hope it's good.
