Totally agree, just like the first Bladerunner, it will take a few years before people realize just how amazing this movie is and it takes its place up there with the greats.
@@anydaynow01 It is just show shall list bran washing. So all the critics who are sho shall lists say it is a masterpiece. But it is not. It soks. Mating with sex dolls, the replicants being downtrodden, that is all what the show shall lists love.
@@thinkingoutloud3757 No. They're saying they'd rather have a Michael Bay big booba/explosion flick because they're most likely a simpleton that lacks the ability to digest complexities in a film.
Im convinced that 20 years from now this movie will be much more appreciated, much like the 1st one took time to gain its cult following. It might not be as groundbreaking as the 1st was, but its definitely a special movie and brilliantly done as well.
It didn't do anything new, relied heavily on the first and the score was ok but not original and as varied the way vengelis did it. The different scenes don't flow well in my opinion either. The whole thing had this feeling of "look this a BIG serious movie we made" instead of truly being that without having to try and convince themselves of that.
@@stevem2323 due to nostalgia, very few movies can live up to the first one. Even if it was as good, most would remember the first one being better due to nostalgia.
@@zantes4061 That doesn't have anything to do with nostalgia, nostalgia BS is the usual line when you don't have facts. First Blade Runner is simply way better movie, on every level.
and here I thought it’s ridiculous they haven’t solved the obnoxious train noise in this reality. Don’t you think the train sound specifically is a little forced atmosphere? when you consider how strange it is that noise pollution isn’t something this reality thinks is a problem, how not even the rich care enough about the noise? feels forced.
The cinematography, sound design, set pieces, and costumes were fantastic in this film, which is what made it most worth watching. The acting...not so much.
@@graverobber135 I don't think in this reality noise pollution is on any one's list of problems. In the movie there are way worse problems than just noise. The rich at least ,what I seen in the movie, live in monolithic towers that block of contact from down below. Plus some cities are loud, especially in mega cities like in the blade runner Universe. Constant construction maintenance, and transportation. Places like New York which is has a population of around only 8 million, sometimes sounds like this, albeit not blade runner bad, but bad. I think the obnoxious train noise, really sells, how awful of a place the world of blade runner is.
Anyone who called this movie boring and slow must have no attention span for anything other than explosions, that 3 minute sequence captivated me and made me want to watch the movie all over again. An absolute masterpiece. So beautifully shot and framed, and the audio to go with it completes it.
tik tok and other similar things have destroyed the attention spans of most millennials and gen zs. Super short tweets, youtube shorts, snapchat stories... everything's geared toward being shorter and shorter. Thats why this movie didnt do better, peoples attention spans are being ruined at a societal level through the increased use of social media and the lack of doing things like reading full novels that inherently develop better attention spans
@@moomoocowsly They are taking the most "rational" approach, they are taking what they believe to be the easiest and by doing so are routinely missing out on something Extremely important in All things called Context. Context, context, context is what people begin to care less about over time as they get more and more used to super short, sweet, and straight to the point. The most important aspect of any movie or book even is supported by the very context that people gloss over. Social media and the use of modern internet Is in fact ruining people's attention span and mentalities as well I you want to go deeper in this. SJWs and Internet Tough guys. People super vocal online but the quietest on the room in when person. This Is a problem. Not caring about context which is oft left out on Twitter and tik tok. This is a problem. Shortened attention spans from Not exercising the brain more. This is a problem. The alternative take you suggest ignores the primary issue which is why I largely remains the alternative.
Couldn't have said it better. I've been watching this scene over and over again and it's Cyberpunk perfection...the way all those neon signs and those holograms show up with all those reflections, the countless ambient sounds you hear in the background and the way those prostitutes move towards the main character. I think modern audiences don't have the ability to appreciate "slower" movies like this and probably fall asleep watching a classic like ALIEN...
I found a video of your wife getting a train ran on her whilst browsing the internet. An absolute masterpiece. So many beautiful shots. And the audio the audio to go with it just completes it
@@thrillington2008 You're right. Good for her, she does a great job. I've seen the new terminator movie and I didn't pick up on this somehow. She looks very pretty and acts very enticing in this scene. Very different from her other roles. To me, that's good acting

The lights are so perfect, the extras are so well integrated (costumes, lines and everything), the subtle CGI that doesn’t hurt the eyes... with the sound of the rain it feels like you're there !
I’ve always loved her sneak approach in this one shot 1:38 she runs her hand on his right shoulder as she nears his left. Making him look to his right as she takes the chance to look at the pictures he’s holding. Giving her a huge amount of info in such a subtle approach.

@@弘睿甫 Imagine how crazy it would be to have an AI in your pocket monitoring your vitals to make sure you were loyal to it. Or perhaps in the scene here, it was shopping for prostitutes for you. +1 Wallace Corporation customer!
I love that line "you don't like real girls" is a little bit ironic because she's a replicant, which also technically not a real girl. It's kinda hillarious 😂.
Replicants eat, bleed, have DNA...they're humans. Just genetically engineered ones. That was the point of the first film. It's amazing how few people actually understand it.
This was without a doubt a beautiful masterpiece that was truly faithful to the original whilst Denis subtlety put his own stamp on the film. The loneliness of Ryan’s character whilst he tries to maintain a semblance of a lived existence (his version of humanity) is brilliantly captured yet laced with pathos and yearning to be “more human than human”.
I'm still ambivalent about this film. It is a staggering technical achievement in extending the world of the original, right down to sound and texture. But I'm not sure what it adds, or if anything needed to be added. There might be a sequel, but I don't see Blade Runner as a "franchise," it doesn't make any sense.
not really faithful at all. it lost a ton of what made the original special. feels more like an action movie set in the blade runner universe. it definitely is a good movie tho
@@lwreaper187 I could not tell because of how different she looked and acted in Terminator: Dark Fate. Well, that is why it is called acting for a reason, hehe.
If you mean the scene where they "sync" that actually wasn't cgi! They had both actresses perform a sort of choreographed routine and just overlapped the footage over each other!! :) But I agree that all CGI in this movie was used perfectly as well!
@@Sims2freakazoider just watched the movie and learning this makes me even more impressed with the film. I’m salty over how this didn’t get as much positive reception in the box office
Already there. late Gen Z and whole Alpha full of sexless people. There is definitely more people watching porn or paying for OF than having actual intercourse.
Something that's easily corrected by behavior, but it's more caustic in the west. We'll see how long it lasts when everything comes undone, women find their femininity again and have to start shopping for the strongest local warlord for protection.
i hired an escort nude model once and my mom busted in after we had sex in my apartment. she costed me 5x than street prostitute but regarding the service, she is worth it. (i never had street prostitute before, they just not my cup of tea) after that my mom never question my sex orientation anymore. or my browser history. try that, it super effective. i spent almost everytime playing games. no clubbing, no lollygagging, nothing, just being nerd. my mom think im a loser nerd who despise women and or gay or asexsual.
"Oh you're not into real girls." The funny part about that line is that Ryan Gosling is in another movie called Lars and the real girl, and she wasn't a real girl. 😆

Hands down my favorite film of the last decade. I watched this on opening night on my birthday and I loved every second of it. Some of my friends fell asleep through the movie, though they had a couple of drinks before going into the cinema. I was so immersed into this movie, I wanted to go back in and watch it again.
@@ormand3000maybe the best movie if you want to fall asleep and graduate school before it ends while not being able to list anytghing that happened. The whole film felt like one of those filler parts in action movies.
It's a very rare example of an addition to a popular franchise actually being original and good. We need more original films, and far fewer sequels, prequels, and spinoffs.
Legit one of the best sequels ever made. It’s at the level of Godfather II in terms of how it respects and understands its material, and elevates and expands the original. And as time goes on it absolutely will become more and more universally appreciated as a great film, and not just for its cinematography porn and coolness
@@hobbymanx9200 any product that is "social class approved" will last forever. Porn, rice, pasta, alcohol, drugs, sex. Is always gonna be in fashion for rich and poor. So it won't ever go away. That's why it's the most successful industries. During pandemic all the things I listed margins went up 8x. Because all enjoyable. But only the rich kept doing drugs and alcohol more lol. Porn, pasta, rice and alcohol is cheap if you think about different ways people sell it to you . Every form of has rich man version and poor man version. Weed is basically entry level is cohesive society. Meaning rich and poor agree on it and it's cheap. It became the new version of beer.

@@redefinedliving5974 I don't know, but Blade Runner originally flopped in 1982. Which is true with many great films tbh. They don't do well on release but slowly are later appreciated
I studied marketing and advertising. The sound design in this movie is exactly what I imagine our future trajectory to sound like. Unbelievably potent. Even subtle things like the companies making their own super catchy motifs only to be swiftly forgotten the moment they leave the area is so incredible. Only the highest praises for the sound design.
Marketing AND advertising. Damn, you must be super woke. If an alien race only has access to our commercials, they must think that black folks account for 90% of our planet's population.
This scene is so good. If the Bladerunner films did not exist and this scene was just a stand alone short story, I believe it would still invoke curiosity, suspense and intimacy, as well as loosely telling the narrative of bladerunner. I love it!
100% right ive never watched the blade runners this was suggested in my feed and i watched it and i cant stop its beyond amazing and cant describe the overwhelming feeling the whole cinematography is beyond comprehension and the girls beauty mesmerises me
which was Philip K Dick's superpower. He would throw you into a world in a 20 page short story that would get you completely intrigued and invested and then yank you back to reality feeling some new sense of discovery. There's a reason almost all of his writings have been adapted, they're just too darn entertaining.
Never seen Blade Runner anything. Heard about it obviously so it’s been in my list. This is the first scene I’ve seen of it right now. And yes I felt everything you commented. I’m gonna get stoned and watch the whole thing now, looks amazing just form this one scene.

This entire scene was backdropped with a score made by revving a clapped out Honda engine with a horrible fart can exhaust lol. After you hear it, you can't unhear it lol

This is, in my opinion, Villanueva's best film so far. His cinematography and color palate; his use of sound and score are superb. Even the way he tracks her as she's walking toward Officer K gives me goosebumps. I don't care what short attention spans say; this is a magnificent film.
There are other reasons not to like this movie than a short attention span - you’re being painfully elitist and small-minded. You really can’t reckon with the fact that other people experience art differently than you and have different perspectives? You really need to just say “short attention span” instead. I’d rather have a short attention span than be as narrow-minded as this.
Can we at least agree that everyones taste is different. I don't think i have a very short attention span and i have generally speaking no problem with slow story telling but Blade Runner 2049 is one of the worst movies i have ever seen. It is just complete crap, it looks ridiculously overstylized, Jared Letos performance was totally overacted and Ryan Goslings acts like an NPC, Harrison Ford sucked too like in his last ten movies, the sound design was totally out of control, the soundtrack was totally generic, the story was extremely lame and boring, the dramaturgy was bad, the world building was full of lame stereotypes from the eighties and moralistic bs like that in 30 years after this movie no trees will exist anymore etc. Even this little scene might be totally stylized - but doesn't make any sense at all. - An elderly woman walks towards three prostitutes and has the instant attention of all three. - She says: "The man in the green Jacket, the one that killed Cypher(?) find put what he knews" and all three prostitutes instantly do what she wants. 1. Why does she mention that he killed this guy as if they would recognize him better that way? Where these three around when the killing happened? 2. She says "Find out what he knews" but she doesn't say about WICH TOPIC. I guess a grown man knows a lot and certainly a lot more then a prostitute could find out in one night. 3. Why is one of the girls saying that he is a Bladerunner and that she recognized him when the elderly lady already mentioned that he killed a replicant? Why is she still surprised by the fact that he is a Blade Runner? 4. Why are all three girls willing to do what the elderly lady said without asking what they will get for it in return? The mind of professionals works on a business base where i am coming from.
"the sound design was totally out of control" (movie was nomited for best sound design in the oscars), "Ryan Goslings acts like an NPC" that's literally what his character is, "it looks ridiculously overstylized" lit the read the plot of the movie, it also won the oscar of best visuals and was nominated the BAFTA award for best makeup, "the soundtrack was totally generic" the movie was a Nominee for BAFTA best Original Music and the oscar for Sound Mixing, " the world building was full of lame stereotypes from the eighties and moralistic bs like that in 30 years after this movie no trees will exist anymore etc" i think you're forgetting that this movie is based on one of the novels who started this sterotype in the first place, " the story was extremely lame and boring" this is your opinion on it, the story is slow paced and you need to watch the prequel to understand what's going on, or else you're just watching it for the visuals and world building. overall if you didnt like the movie then its your personal opinion, i just find it funny how everything you hated the movie for is the same reason people love it
@@ZollaREAL I think i might be tired of this overstylized world building. Just like many superhero movies and modern Sci-Fi movies it looks more like a videogame then an actual movie let alone like something that could actually happen in the future. In my opinion Blade Runner 2049 adds nothing new to the Blade Runner world or Sci Fi world building generally. And to the story, i watched the original movie more then once - it was revolutionary for that time visually but not storywise. the novel is one of Phillip K. Dicks more conventional stories and its from 1968! It amuses me that we see the futurism of 1968 still as futuristic. Keep in mind that most of these Sci Fi concepts that we saw in Sci Fi movies from the eighties and nineties were based on ideas and stories from the fifties and sixties. For instance: the Matrix trilogy is based on the novel Simulacron 3 by Daniel F. Galouye from 1964(!!) and was already adapted to film by german filmmaker Fassbinder in 1973 in his movie "Welt am Draht" (world on a wire) Trueman Show was basically an adaption of ideas from Phillip K. Dicks "Marsian Timeslip" also from 1964. Total Recall was based on the Phillip K. Dick short story "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale" from 1966. And the best part is, that in the story from 1966 there is yet another twist at the end but that would have been too much to handle for the audiences of the early nineties. So the screenwriters left it out. Phillip K. Dick is basically stil the creative head behind most "modern" Sci-Fi concepts and he died in 1984. Most good sci-fi movies especially those who ask existential questions about our perception of reality and ourselves are influenced by his ideas and stories fo instance Inception, Matrix, Trueman Show, Existenz, Source Code, Dark City, Vanilla Sky, Gattaca, 12 Monkeys, Fight Club.. you name it. OR they are directly based on one of his stories like Blade Runner, Total Recall, The Man In The High Castle, A Scanner Darkly, Paycheck, Impostor, Minority Report, Screamers, The Adjustment Bureau and Next.
"The tree killed your father!" Deadman was lost to the dark side. Neither the Emperor, now Shaddam IV Corinno, nor Kathleen Kennedy value his sacrifice.

Best sound design in a movie i"ve ever seen. Watching this on IMAX screen was a real privilege. People who do not understand this movie need to learn to just enjoy cinematic brilliance at it's finest instead of non-stop no sense action sequences
I was hyped to watch this on the theater but when I did, the speakers were fucked up and during the entire movie there was crackling sounds :( We even got a refund after
Someone hasn’t seen The Batman or The Northman. I love BR 2049 as well but the cinematography and VFX were the stand outs for me. The Batman and The Northman (two recently released films) took full advantage of Atmos and it paid off by sounding incredible in the cinema, especially if you saw both in Dolby.
watched it in cinema when it came out, half watched it when I was drunk in 2019(?) when It was on bluray and now is the first time I have come back to the film. I just realised, the sound design in this film is amazing. There is so many subtle sounds that are easy to miss on a first time viewing. Holy shit. What a brilliant film.
One of the finest sequels I have watched. I was nervous because Blade Runner is one of my fav sci fi movies, and I was praying they didn't mess it up with BR 2049
I mean that has always been true, usually when people talk about classics or beautiful movies from a certain era the list is small. They always forget to mention ALL of the other films of that time period that were utter garbage. There is just more of it now because it is easier for people to create film.
I absolutely love the scene with Mackenzie Davis at 1:26. The way she never takes her eyes off him and walks through the crowd, she looks like a lioness leading a pack to their prey while taking in as much information as she can before she goes in for the kill.
She walks so confidently. The other ladies, including the one in the pink, weren’t as confident in their approach. She looked down and adjusted her hands where as Mackenzie just kept her eyes on target and walked without missing a beat. I definitely rewatched the approach multiple times and love how she walked.
the bait and switch -- after the first 10 minutes I was like "lame" and "predictable" -- then that bait and switch somewhere in the middle... it's so subtle but it changes EVERYTHING.
I agree with you, its really solid. And it has so many layers too, between the foundations that the original film had laid out and the new perspectives brought out by the new story...
I could have never imagined that the sequel to BR would be a masterpiece of cinematography .... and the music score just took it to another level ... at first I had trouble with Gosling casting but rewatching it several times convinced me of his character and the brilliance of Denis Villeneuve directing him ....
It's an incredible film. I had seen the first film and understood that it was a cult classic for a group of film lovers, but never truly appreciated it. The second film had a theatrical release when I was at an age where I could choose it from other releases at the time. I really enjoyed it. And it left me asking all sorts of questions. Many films are fast food. Maybe you like it or dislike it, but they cease to be relevant after you have pooped them out.
I think gosling is perfect for the role. He does a good job portraying the main themes of this film (loneliness, soul-searching, etc.) and he really sells the character in my opinion
This scene is an absolute Masterclass. The blocking, the pacing, the script, the camera movement, the acting, and the story-telling. Seriously all A's on the report card. I wish Roger Deakins, Hans Zimmer, and Denis V would stick together like Spielberg Williams and Janusz.
both blade runner movies and tron legacy are like a wet dream for people(such as myself) who love the whole cyberpunk aesthetic, I wish I could describe in words how incredible I find futuristic dystopian themes Also some of the episodes of netflix’s love, death and robots have the cyberpunk theme too The most recent one I’ve watched, space sweepers *HIGH TECH - LOW LIFE*
@@musashi4856 Exactly. I lived in the middle of Berlin for a while and being surrounded by concrete buildings and tons of people while it rained non-stop drove me absolutely crazy. I could not wait to move out into the suburbs where there was nature again.
I never noticed this before but right at 2:36 you can see K's eyes just dart back and forth over and over again looking at Mariette's, like he is scanning her or analyzing her.
1:38 As a fin I now just realized the woman on the left is talking in finnish. Wow. Though after she says that "he is a blade runner" the caption says that she recognizes him, when infact she says "we should leave *it* alone". After that she says "let's go, this guy is *fucking* dangerous."
I was kind of disappointed there was no "cityspeak" in the sequel. It really made the worldbuilding of the original one feel unique. In case you haven't seen the original, its spoken by a few characters, a mishmash of japanese, german, spanish and other languages
I knew she was speaking Finnish and it sounded like Tää jätkä on Blade Runner, Anta sen olla. Mennään, se on vitun vaarallinen. I am not a native speaker just had to learn Finish while I was working in a Marine Industry over in Europe. I understood it like" This dude is a Blade Runner. Let him be or let it go. Come on, he or it is fucking dangerous.
The lighting the mood, the acid rains, the determination in the eyes of the extras -who all were well aware of the predecessor- to provide the best performance of their lives really shows. I loved beeing an extra on this set. Even hunted down a similar LED umbrella what we used on set and treasured it for years.
I totally love the sound of the revving engine that occasionally plays. Because that sound is also the sound of a high wave transfer thru a dense plasma coil.

Saw this wonderful film 8 times in the cinema, its etched on my brain,oscar winning cinematography & visuals, the Hans Zimmer soundtrack ,Ryan, Denis, Love & Joy. A rare cinematic treat these days.
An Ai friend coming soon. Unfortunately if Google have anything to do with it it will be Trans and coloured. No whitey allowed in the futuristic world.
I was so sad to see this movie "flop". Personally I went to see it in the cinema on 2 separate occasions, and it's great to see that with time 2049 is appreciated more.
Such a beautiful movie. I would love to watch it on a big screen again. It is a strange combination of slow, mellow, and sort of sad and dark - and at the same time, in the slowness and dreaminess, there is tension and extreme presence. Joe is distant and detached - and at the same time extremely alert and observant.
The best thing about this film is that it doesn’t dumb anything down or stop to explain a single thing. That was the worst thing about the chopped up original film. I’m glad we have both.
I just love Dennis Villeneuve slow paced sci-fi style. A breath of fresh air in all the sequels, prequels, re-sequels and MCU action eye candy oversaturated cinema market.
This movie is virtually flawless. Now, in regards to this scene; it's amazing how much data and emotion it captures in any given second. I can feel the claustrophobia, loneliness, dampness, paranoia and senseless mass consumerism in each frame. I selfishly hope this film never gets the credit it truly deserves, so that I can remain a part of the illuminati of true fans. P.S., Deckard WAS NOT a Replicant!
@@mrdynamic8678 I think you are referring to K, in Bladerunner 2049. That was K, not Rick Deckard. (Harrison Ford). K is a replicant. (KD6-3.7) Ryan Gosling
Love the symbolism in this scene, similar to the bit when he gives his AI girlfriend an upgrade. How this lady words that "you don't like real girls?" Implying that she's genuine and full of meaning, when she's pretending to be someone else, and only "interested" in him because she's told to be, to complete an objective. It's like, even though the AI lady is a hologram, at least it's neutral, rather than cold. This lady trying to manipulate doesn't even know who she is, yet, the aforementioned AI lady is more real to him than anyone one of the ladies hanging around outside that futuristic brothel. Proper weird vibes, eerie even 🤔
Hit the nail on the head. K and the hooker are both constructed, but are they even "more" real than JOI? K's experience is definitely a human one, and the actual humans who run and govern this world show the least humanity out of anyone.
I honestly believe that JOI loved K. I think her programming would have allowed it for a much more realistic experience. Besides that, the whole overarching theme of both movies is "Becoming more than you were created to be." If they make another one, I hope they find a way to incorporate hers, or another friendly AI's character.
@@Rattus-Norvegicus If they make another one, it would be lovely if it was based on reverse transcendence. An AI like JOI been given the option to have a body of her own, and either given the choice to remain as she is with the same features, and "dimensions"(body wise) as her hologram, or being given the option of looking different. That right there can respectfully touch on quite serious issues at the moment - body dysmorphia and lack of identity or purpose. Then again, I don't believe that an AI - especially one as advanced as JOI - would be affected by such things but who knows, considering how those are deep rooted Human conditions.
@@Johny40Se7en Indeed. I'm not even sure terms like gender even apply to JOI beyond outward appearance. I highly doubt that, at least initially, she has a sexual identity at all. Possibly one develops over time but JOI might remain completely neutral on the subject beyond loyalty to her purchaser. It would be interesting to see if that loyalty extends beyond the death of the original owner. I'd imagine so but that brings up the question of an override or reset. And from a story standpoint, it'd be interesting to see her switch appearance to apply her power of persuasion to seduce other men or women. And yes, I agree it would be amazing if she were finally given the chance to be "uploaded" into an empty replicant body. I'm not entirely sure she would though. Remember she has significant advantages as an AI. She might also choose to die to be with Joe. Fascinating topic really, I could go on for days. Have you seen Her?
@@Rattus-Norvegicus Yeah, you're probably right about the gender thing. Maybe an AI will be like a digital bisexual or amphibian and just take on the form of one or the other depending on role 🙃😜 If they went into those depths, I think it would be nice if JOI had to decide for herself, after the death of the original owner, would she want to stay as she is, or change into someone else, but at the same time, not resetting everything, so that she remembers everything and develops heartbroken emotions. I think she'd ultimately choose to be transferred into a physical body because of the way she's able to love. It would likely be another way to explore intimacy, but at the same time staying true to the mental and maybe spiritual connection she has already with her "owner". Very fascinating indeed. I love stuff like that. Asimov's ghosts in the machine and what exactly makes an individual soul 🙂
A Great scene, the aesthetic of the atmosphere is beautiful. And you know the future is messed up when nobody has ever seen a tree before. Very Underrated film

Im convinced that 20 years from now this movie will be much more appreciated, much like the 1st one took time to gain its cult following. It might not be as groundbreaking as the 1st was, but its definitely a special movie and brilliantly done as well.
It's already appreciated very much, but it will never be as good as the first one.
It didn't do anything new, relied heavily on the first and the score was ok but not original and as varied the way vengelis did it. The different scenes don't flow well in my opinion either. The whole thing had this feeling of "look this a BIG serious movie we made" instead of truly being that without having to try and convince themselves of that.
Well, check the "bell-curve" out and everything will become quite clear. As long as some of us appreciate this masterpiece, that is fine.
@@stevem2323 due to nostalgia, very few movies can live up to the first one. Even if it was as good, most would remember the first one being better due to nostalgia.

First Blade Runner is simply way better movie, on every level.
The sound design in this movie is just nuts.
@Cthulhu This is the way
and here I thought it’s ridiculous they haven’t solved the obnoxious train noise in this reality. Don’t you think the train sound specifically is a little forced atmosphere? when you consider how strange it is that noise pollution isn’t something this reality thinks is a problem, how not even the rich care enough about the noise? feels forced.
@@graverobber135 I think the rich don't care because they're all off world
The cinematography, sound design, set pieces, and costumes were fantastic in this film, which is what made it most worth watching. The acting...not so much.
@@graverobber135 I don't think in this reality noise pollution is on any one's list of problems. In the movie there are way worse problems than just noise. The rich at least ,what I seen in the movie, live in monolithic towers that block of contact from down below. Plus some cities are loud, especially in mega cities like in the blade runner Universe. Constant construction maintenance, and transportation. Places like New York which is has a population of around only 8 million, sometimes sounds like this, albeit not blade runner bad, but bad. I think the obnoxious train noise, really sells, how awful of a place the world of blade runner is.
Anyone who called this movie boring and slow must have no attention span for anything other than explosions, that 3 minute sequence captivated me and made me want to watch the movie all over again. An absolute masterpiece. So beautifully shot and framed, and the audio to go with it completes it.
tik tok and other similar things have destroyed the attention spans of most millennials and gen zs. Super short tweets, youtube shorts, snapchat stories... everything's geared toward being shorter and shorter. Thats why this movie didnt do better, peoples attention spans are being ruined at a societal level through the increased use of social media and the lack of doing things like reading full novels that inherently develop better attention spans
@@moomoocowsly They are taking the most "rational" approach, they are taking what they believe to be the easiest and by doing so are routinely missing out on something Extremely important in All things called Context. Context, context, context is what people begin to care less about over time as they get more and more used to super short, sweet, and straight to the point. The most important aspect of any movie or book even is supported by the very context that people gloss over. Social media and the use of modern internet Is in fact ruining people's attention span and mentalities as well I you want to go deeper in this. SJWs and Internet Tough guys. People super vocal online but the quietest on the room in when person. This Is a problem. Not caring about context which is oft left out on Twitter and tik tok. This is a problem. Shortened attention spans from Not exercising the brain more. This is a problem. The alternative take you suggest ignores the primary issue which is why I largely remains the alternative.
I mean it is REALLY slow, but that is not a bad thing. People need to understand that slow does not equal boring
Couldn't have said it better. I've been watching this scene over and over again and it's Cyberpunk perfection...the way all those neon signs and those holograms show up with all those reflections, the countless ambient sounds you hear in the background and the way those prostitutes move towards the main character.

This was without a doubt a beautiful masterpiece that was truly faithful to the original whilst Denis subtlety put his own stamp on the film. The loneliness of Ryan’s character whilst he tries to maintain a semblance of a lived existence (his version of humanity) is brilliantly captured yet laced with pathos and yearning to be “more human than human”.

I'm still ambivalent about this film. It is a staggering technical achievement in extending the world of the original, right down to sound and texture. But I'm not sure what it adds, or if anything needed to be added. There might be a sequel, but I don't see Blade Runner as a "franchise," it doesn't make any sense.
not really faithful at all. it lost a ton of what made the original special. feels more like an action movie set in the blade runner universe. it definitely is a good movie tho

There are other reasons not to like this movie than a short attention span - you’re being painfully elitist and small-minded.

@@GlazeonthewickeR thats one long way to cry bro
Can we at least agree that everyones taste is different. I don't think i have a very short attention span and i have generally speaking no problem with slow story telling but Blade Runner 2049 is one of the worst movies i have ever seen. It is just complete crap, it looks ridiculously overstylized, Jared Letos performance was totally overacted and Ryan Goslings acts like an NPC, Harrison Ford sucked too like in his last ten movies, the sound design was totally out of control, the soundtrack was totally generic, the story was extremely lame and boring, the dramaturgy was bad, the world building was full of lame stereotypes from the eighties and moralistic bs like that in 30 years after this movie no trees will exist anymore etc.
Even this little scene might be totally stylized - but doesn't make any sense at all.
- An elderly woman walks towards three prostitutes and has the instant attention of all three.
- She says: "The man in the green Jacket, the one that killed Cypher(?) find put what he knews" and all three prostitutes instantly do what she wants.
1. Why does she mention that he killed this guy as if they would recognize him better that way? Where these three around when the killing happened?
2. She says "Find out what he knews" but she doesn't say about WICH TOPIC. I guess a grown man knows a lot and certainly a lot more then a prostitute could find out in one night.
3. Why is one of the girls saying that he is a Bladerunner and that she recognized him when the elderly lady already mentioned that he killed a replicant? Why is she still surprised by the fact that he is a Blade Runner?
4. Why are all three girls willing to do what the elderly lady said without asking what they will get for it in return? The mind of professionals works on a business base where i am coming from.
"the sound design was totally out of control" (movie was nomited for best sound design in the oscars), "Ryan Goslings acts like an NPC" that's literally what his character is, "it looks ridiculously overstylized" lit the read the plot of the movie, it also won the oscar of best visuals and was nominated the BAFTA award for best makeup, "the soundtrack was totally generic" the movie was a Nominee for BAFTA best Original Music and the oscar for Sound Mixing, " the world building was full of lame stereotypes from the eighties and moralistic bs like that in 30 years after this movie no trees will exist anymore etc" i think you're forgetting that this movie is based on one of the novels who started this sterotype in the first place, " the story was extremely lame and boring" this is your opinion on it, the story is slow paced and you need to watch the prequel to understand what's going on, or else you're just watching it for the visuals and world building.
overall if you didnt like the movie then its your personal opinion, i just find it funny how everything you hated the movie for is the same reason people love it
@@ZollaREAL I think i might be tired of this overstylized world building. Just like many superhero movies and modern Sci-Fi movies it looks more like a videogame then an actual movie let alone like something that could actually happen in the future. In my opinion Blade Runner 2049 adds nothing new to the Blade Runner world or Sci Fi world building generally.
And to the story, i watched the original movie more then once - it was revolutionary
for that time visually but not storywise. the novel is one of Phillip K. Dicks more conventional stories and its from 1968! It amuses me that we see the futurism of 1968 still as futuristic.
Keep in mind that most of these Sci Fi concepts that we saw in Sci Fi movies from the eighties and nineties were based on ideas and stories from the fifties and sixties.
For instance: the Matrix trilogy is based on the novel Simulacron 3 by Daniel F. Galouye from 1964(!!) and was already adapted to film by german filmmaker Fassbinder in 1973 in his movie "Welt am Draht" (world on a wire)
Trueman Show was basically an adaption of ideas from Phillip K. Dicks "Marsian Timeslip" also from 1964.
Total Recall was based on the Phillip K. Dick short story "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale" from 1966. And the best part is, that in the story from 1966 there is yet another twist at the end but that would have been too much to handle for the audiences of the early nineties. So the screenwriters left it out.
Phillip K. Dick is basically stil the creative head behind most "modern" Sci-Fi concepts and he died in 1984. Most good sci-fi movies especially those who ask existential questions about our perception of reality and ourselves are influenced by his ideas and stories fo instance Inception, Matrix, Trueman Show, Existenz, Source Code, Dark City, Vanilla Sky, Gattaca, 12 Monkeys, Fight Club.. you name it.
OR they are directly based on one of his stories like Blade Runner, Total Recall, The Man In The High Castle, A Scanner Darkly, Paycheck, Impostor, Minority Report, Screamers, The Adjustment Bureau and Next.

I was hyped to watch this on the theater but when I did, the speakers were fucked up and during the entire movie there was crackling sounds :( We even got a refund after
Or maybe people can like what they like and you can like what you like
im pretty sure a lot of ppl loved this film when it came out, just box office wasnt huge, cuz of multiple reasons including marketing.
Someone hasn’t seen The Batman or The Northman. I love BR 2049 as well but the cinematography and VFX were the stand outs for me. The Batman and The Northman (two recently released films) took full advantage of Atmos and it paid off by sounding incredible in the cinema, especially if you saw both in Dolby.
This would have meant a little more if you had said that this was the best sound design in a movie you ever heard....
This the most atmospheric film ive ever seen.
Masterful Vfx work. Truly perfect.
watched it in cinema when it came out, half watched it when I was drunk in 2019(?) when It was on bluray and now is the first time I have come back to the film. I just realised, the sound design in this film is amazing. There is so many subtle sounds that are easy to miss on a first time viewing. Holy shit. What a brilliant film.
i never noticed that the police sirens are those loud ass noises happening. i mean i'd definitely stop whatever i was doing if i heard that.
Ok Xi Jin Pooh

Watched this movie in the cinema. Do not regret it. They CAN still make great movies, beautiful ones.
One of the finest sequels I have watched. I was nervous because Blade Runner is one of my fav sci fi movies, and I was praying they didn't mess it up with BR 2049
5 times for me
Haven’t watched it even tho it looks really good
I mean that has always been true, usually when people talk about classics or beautiful movies from a certain era the list is small.
They always forget to mention ALL of the other films of that time period that were utter garbage. There is just more of it now because it is easier for people to create film.
After watching 30 min of Me Time on Netflix. good god I hope so. What an absolute dumpster fire that was.
I absolutely love the scene with Mackenzie Davis at 1:26. The way she never takes her eyes off him and walks through the crowd, she looks like a lioness leading a pack to their prey while taking in as much information as she can before she goes in for the kill.
I mean... a fair enough point, but why praise only Mackenzie? The rest of them do the same.
@@kurzackd the others don't do the same, one looks down for a bit and the other isn't seen that much in the shot walking towards him
Mackenzie is so hot she's way prettier than the actress who played Joi
She lost in the end.
She walks so confidently. The other ladies, including the one in the pink, weren’t as confident in their approach. She looked down and adjusted her hands where as Mackenzie just kept her eyes on target and walked without missing a beat. I definitely rewatched the approach multiple times and love how she walked.
"You Don't Like Real Girls" this will be a commom sentense in our world and less than 10 years
It’s already happening
Why not now
lol its prob very very common now lol
I don't, problem?
*sentence
the plot in this movie was awesome and it was well executed
the bait and switch -- after the first 10 minutes I was like "lame" and "predictable" -- then that bait and switch somewhere in the middle... it's so subtle but it changes EVERYTHING.
@@IrregularPineapples its funny cus when you look back it makes a lot more sense than it would be as if the bait were true
I agree with you, its really solid. And it has so many layers too, between the foundations that the original film had laid out and the new perspectives brought out by the new story...
I could have never imagined that the sequel to BR would be a masterpiece of cinematography .... and the music score just took it to another level ... at first I had trouble with Gosling casting but rewatching it several times convinced me of his character and the brilliance of Denis Villeneuve directing him ....
It's the role he was born to play, a nearly soulless robot with an inch wide emotional range😂
For me Ryan Gosling is really the worst part of the movie, close to Harrison Ford. The movie would be better without both.
It's an incredible film. I had seen the first film and understood that it was a cult classic for a group of film lovers, but never truly appreciated it. The second film had a theatrical release when I was at an age where I could choose it from other releases at the time. I really enjoyed it. And it left me asking all sorts of questions. Many films are fast food. Maybe you like it or dislike it, but they cease to be relevant after you have pooped them out.
@@peachmelba1000 He plays roles similarly a lot unfortunately, but he does get to stretch it occasionally. He's freakin hilarious in The Nice Guys.
I think gosling is perfect for the role. He does a good job portraying the main themes of this film (loneliness, soul-searching, etc.) and he really sells the character in my opinion
If your girlfriend is as beautiful as Ana de armas it would be pretty difficult for you to find a live one.
That's true... but I'd say McKenzie Davies is damn fine as well
Too much thirst here.
@@maxi1ification She was hot in Terminator
@@_Meriwether Men are talking, you can see your way out boy.
@@_Meriwether It's normal to thirst for hot attractive females. Wadaya? Gay? :D
This scene is an absolute Masterclass. The blocking, the pacing, the script, the camera movement, the acting, and the story-telling. Seriously all A's on the report card. I wish Roger Deakins, Hans Zimmer, and Denis V would stick together like Spielberg Williams and Janusz.
janusz is a first name lol
Even digital girlfriends know when you are flirting with other girls and call you when it is happening.
both blade runner movies and tron legacy are like a wet dream for people(such as myself) who love the whole cyberpunk aesthetic, I wish I could describe in words how incredible I find futuristic dystopian themes
Also some of the episodes of netflix’s love, death and robots have the cyberpunk theme too
The most recent one I’ve watched, space sweepers
*HIGH TECH - LOW LIFE*
U should definitely watch ghost in the shell
Everyone wants to live in a dystopian nightmare until it becomes reality.
@@musashi4856 Exactly. I lived in the middle of Berlin for a while and being surrounded by concrete buildings and tons of people while it rained non-stop drove me absolutely crazy. I could not wait to move out into the suburbs where there was nature again.
If you’ve never seen the fifth element you’d love it. It’s campy scifi goodness. Watched it everyday as a kid lol
Legacy didnt do the original nearly enough justice imo
Her: "Oh you don't like real girls."
Me: "Leave Asuka out of this."
I never noticed this before but right at 2:36 you can see K's eyes just dart back and forth over and over again looking at Mariette's, like he is scanning her or analyzing her.
He means that he is dead , expressing himself , such an amazin actor
This sequel is a pure masterpiece and I love every minute of it.
The actress Mackenzie Davis acted this scene so well, I had to watch it a few times. She's both intense and feminine.
lol. it's a dude
@@krollicnot true
@@cgk1276 it's true, mate. search: Is Hollywood star Mackenzie Davis a man (transwoman)?
come back to me w/ your thoughts
I agree
That's a mannn
1:38 As a fin I now just realized the woman on the left is talking in finnish. Wow. Though after she says that "he is a blade runner" the caption says that she recognizes him, when infact she says "we should leave *it* alone". After that she says "let's go, this guy is *fucking* dangerous."
I was kind of disappointed there was no "cityspeak" in the sequel. It really made the worldbuilding of the original one feel unique. In case you haven't seen the original, its spoken by a few characters, a mishmash of japanese, german, spanish and other languages
I knew she was speaking Finnish and it sounded like Tää jätkä on Blade Runner, Anta sen olla. Mennään, se on vitun vaarallinen. I am not a native speaker just had to learn Finish while I was working in a Marine Industry over in Europe. I understood it like" This dude is a Blade Runner. Let him be or let it go. Come on, he or it is fucking dangerous.
The lighting the mood, the acid rains, the determination in the eyes of the extras -who all were well aware of the predecessor- to provide the best performance of their lives really shows. I loved beeing an extra on this set. Even hunted down a similar LED umbrella what we used on set and treasured it for years.
You were actually an extra?
@@Never.Comment correct.
Mackenzie Davis...damn, there's something about her that just grabs my attention in EVERYTHING she is in. Very underrated actor.
MANUUUUUU! What's up, dude? NPZ here!
Right? This women could reel em in reading a chinese take out menu
She gets a lot of grief from people who dislike some of the movies she's been in, but I think she's gorgeous.
Agreed
@@ariochiv she’s definitely gorgeous!
Mackenzie Davis can be either a masculine looking tomboy or the prettiest girl alive, she's like a chameleon.
You pretty much described all females alive depending on make-up
Ah yes the power of Make Up 😂
Every woman can look like Amber Heard with makeup. There's compilations of it. So yeah, that's how that works.
She was fine as hell in this movie. I wouldn’t have covered her with digital Ana de Armas if I was K.
She's gorgeous!
I totally love the sound of the revving engine that occasionally plays. Because that sound is also the sound of a high wave transfer thru a dense plasma coil.
Mackenzie Davis is such a treat to watch. Really wish she get more roles.
"Halt & Catch Fire" was brilliant.
Yup, and she's really good at playing androids/cyborgs. She was Grace in Terminator: Dark Fate, a new kind-o protector for the Terminator franchise.
I remember all the shit she got for being in Terminator. Fucking neckbeards had NO idea how stunning AND badass she is!
@@Lunacyk the movie was shit. But she was incredible to watch in action
She was excellent in Black Mirror.
Watch "Station Eleven" It's a masterpiece.
The sets in this film always give me moments of peace, especially when there is no conversation, just K walking through empty spaces and neon lights
Mackenzie Davis knocked every scene out of the park.
@@frauleinhohenzollern bc she's hot
@@frauleinhohenzollern I dont think shes hot. Or a good actress. And im a dude. But im pretty sure her part was meant to not draw to much attention to herself so in that regard she did good.

"He's a fucking Blade Runner". - Greatest compliment ever
I love when films like these can make the extras stand out as more than just background characters. They all look so unique with their own distinct personalities. I want to know all their stories.
This is, to this day, one of the greatest movies ever made.
Lol
This was the last movie I saw in theaters that truly felt like a movie
Saw this wonderful film 8 times in the cinema, its etched on my brain,oscar winning cinematography & visuals, the Hans Zimmer soundtrack ,Ryan, Denis, Love & Joy. A rare cinematic treat these days.
What a masterpiece. Very faithful to the original. Brilliant work, Denis Villenueve.
0:53 A wild Ana de Armas has appeared!
when robot girls come out im sure as hell not gonna like real girls either

I was so sad to see this movie "flop". Personally I went to see it in the cinema on 2 separate occasions, and it's great to see that with time 2049 is appreciated more.
sometimes art isnt supposed to make money.
It’s a beautiful film but the pacing is horrible. I watched it again last night and found myself getting bored halfway through.
The first one flopped as well.
@@kirishima638 Agreed, I liked the plot, but some parts are REALLY stretched. It could have easily been 2:15 long.
Idk why dumb movies like jurassic world dominion make so much goddamn money.
2:08 hits me
Edgy kid huh
I don't know what it is but Mackenzie Davis says that line SO sexily..
I don't much like real girls anymore ether. Notice how nice they are to you when they want something.
The street worker is now the star of "Station Eleven".
She gave an awesome performance. Its a must see 10 episode series.
He is into 2D waifus.
A true man of culture lol
True to the cyberpunk theme
The AV engine revving is one of the best sounds in sci-fi, right up there with the seismic charges from star wars
what's an AV?
@SixT9 Air Vehicle
It’s part of the OST
I agree
Such a beautiful movie. I would love to watch it on a big screen again.
It is a strange combination of slow, mellow, and sort of sad and dark - and at the same time, in the slowness and dreaminess, there is tension and extreme presence.
Joe is distant and detached - and at the same time extremely alert and observant.
This movie made me cry. It reinforced all my nightmares of a dystopian future with not a single trace of humanity left.
Dont worry they will have happy pills for you
This is exactly where we're heading.
I agree
this film is pre-conditioning wrapped in a blade runner sequel. welcome to hollyweird.
The best thing about this film is that it doesn’t dumb anything down or stop to explain a single thing.
That was the worst thing about the chopped up original film.
I’m glad we have both.
I just love Dennis Villeneuve slow paced sci-fi style. A breath of fresh air in all the sequels, prequels, re-sequels and MCU action eye candy oversaturated cinema market.
This movie is virtually flawless. Now, in regards to this scene; it's amazing how much data and emotion it captures in any given second. I can feel the claustrophobia, loneliness, dampness, paranoia and senseless mass consumerism in each frame. I selfishly hope this film never gets the credit it truly deserves, so that I can remain a part of the illuminati of true fans.
P.S., Deckard WAS NOT a Replicant!
it is a very cultish type of movie-that's why some ppl said it was slow-i 've seen the 1st one-so loved this
Then why do the real cops call him skin job
@@mrdynamic8678 Deckard or K? K is definitely a Skin Job.
@@Liquid_Alchemy Deckard, in the police station they called him skin job, and he wouldn’t look at them when walking past
@@mrdynamic8678 I think you are referring to K, in Bladerunner 2049. That was K, not Rick Deckard. (Harrison Ford). K is a replicant. (KD6-3.7) Ryan Gosling
If only Denis Villeneuve got the rights to Neuromancer.
Man I'd even give Denis rights to enter my bedroom.
@@SVOKRAplays 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
@@SVOKRAplays that's hilarious
I didn't even realize Villeneuve directed this. No wonder, no wonder.
@@Jay-eb7ik Villeneuve proves Aliens is still set 2079.
Love the symbolism in this scene, similar to the bit when he gives his AI girlfriend an upgrade. How this lady words that "you don't like real girls?" Implying that she's genuine and full of meaning, when she's pretending to be someone else, and only "interested" in him because she's told to be, to complete an objective. It's like, even though the AI lady is a hologram, at least it's neutral, rather than cold. This lady trying to manipulate doesn't even know who she is, yet, the aforementioned AI lady is more real to him than anyone one of the ladies hanging around outside that futuristic brothel. Proper weird vibes, eerie even 🤔
Hit the nail on the head. K and the hooker are both constructed, but are they even "more" real than JOI? K's experience is definitely a human one, and the actual humans who run and govern this world show the least humanity out of anyone.
I honestly believe that JOI loved K. I think her programming would have allowed it for a much more realistic experience. Besides that, the whole overarching theme of both movies is "Becoming more than you were created to be." If they make another one, I hope they find a way to incorporate hers, or another friendly AI's character.
@@Rattus-Norvegicus If they make another one, it would be lovely if it was based on reverse transcendence. An AI like JOI been given the option to have a body of her own, and either given the choice to remain as she is with the same features, and "dimensions"(body wise) as her hologram, or being given the option of looking different.
That right there can respectfully touch on quite serious issues at the moment - body dysmorphia and lack of identity or purpose. Then again, I don't believe that an AI - especially one as advanced as JOI - would be affected by such things but who knows, considering how those are deep rooted Human conditions.
@@Johny40Se7en Indeed. I'm not even sure terms like gender even apply to JOI beyond outward appearance. I highly doubt that, at least initially, she has a sexual identity at all. Possibly one develops over time but JOI might remain completely neutral on the subject beyond loyalty to her purchaser.
It would be interesting to see if that loyalty extends beyond the death of the original owner. I'd imagine so but that brings up the question of an override or reset. And from a story standpoint, it'd be interesting to see her switch appearance to apply her power of persuasion to seduce other men or women.
And yes, I agree it would be amazing if she were finally given the chance to be "uploaded" into an empty replicant body. I'm not entirely sure she would though. Remember she has significant advantages as an AI. She might also choose to die to be with Joe.
Fascinating topic really, I could go on for days. Have you seen Her?
@@Rattus-Norvegicus Yeah, you're probably right about the gender thing. Maybe an AI will be like a digital bisexual or amphibian and just take on the form of one or the other depending on role 🙃😜
If they went into those depths, I think it would be nice if JOI had to decide for herself, after the death of the original owner, would she want to stay as she is, or change into someone else, but at the same time, not resetting everything, so that she remembers everything and develops heartbroken emotions.
I think she'd ultimately choose to be transferred into a physical body because of the way she's able to love. It would likely be another way to explore intimacy, but at the same time staying true to the mental and maybe spiritual connection she has already with her "owner".
Very fascinating indeed. I love stuff like that. Asimov's ghosts in the machine and what exactly makes an individual soul 🙂
anyone else just love the cyberpunk atmosphere??
He should have just said , I have to go return some videotapes
I think this movie is the definition of masterpiece.
damn Travis Yeezus Scott????
A Great scene, the aesthetic of the atmosphere is beautiful. And you know the future is messed up when nobody has ever seen a tree before. Very Underrated film
