If you think a 164 min movie ended prematurely I'd say that's a good sign.

It's not bad or boring, but I've not come away thinking it's a good movie. I feel like I'm missing something because it was all a bit limp.

Well, Blade Runner is supposed to leave you feeling like there was something pinnacle to the plot that was only hinted at, but never really had a light shone on it.

Was Deckard a replicant himself?
"Replicants are like any other machine. They're either a benefit or a hazard. If they're a benefit, it's not my problem."


The original (Director's Cut) movie is a visually stunning masterpiece blending Science Fiction and Film Noire. The characters are intense and believable with only a few lines of dialogue. The world it paints of flying cars, people selling artificial body parts from dirty street market booths, to the advancement of automata to be indistinguishable from people... is great.

"They're my friends... I make them."
One of my favorite moments in movies. It's so sweet and sad and impressive at the same time. Sebastian is so lovable.

There are so many excellent scenes. It's a Kubrick classic. It stars Harrison Ford in/near his acting prime (IMO).

I'm talking about the new one not the old.

And I thought it was meh. I wasn't bored but I'd never suggest it. It was too much high tension with no payoff. It sounds like the original was a fairly niche masterpiece and the sequel is just a decent reattempt at it.

Also I'm not fucking stupid and I pay attention to films. If I'm not getting a payoff it's probably not as edgy as the film feels. If you're talking about the second one and Deckard being a robot is the payoff that's fucking shit. I'd have felt better if it was all a dream.

Also Ana De Armas, wow.
