Any other director would have had an action packed shoot em up third act with the underground replicants joining forces to topple Wallace's corporation once and for all
I know this thread has unmarked spoilers but without spoiling too much how much violence / sex / nudity does the movie have? Is it OK to see for someone younger or not really?
Things I didnt pick up on during my watch:
- Wallace being human and not a replicant.
- Those machines tests keeping an eye on K and replicants and making sure they dont leave their vaseline.
- K thinking he is the child.
- K looking for Deckard cause he thinks he is his father.
- There being twins.
- The bones being Rachaels.
- K dying at the end (to me its still up to interpretation though).
And hundreds other details Ive only learned through discussion after watching the movie.
Can K physically touch and feel Joi? I read someone said she solidifies in the rain.
Loved it. I need to see it again. The only thing that seemed a bit off to me was K determining that his relationship with Joi was fake. I didn't think the film would render a judgement about their relationship like that.

Not at all, normal screen was fine for me. Some of the sound would have been too much for me in IMAX as well.Is 3d a must? I generally hate 3D.
didn't even know there was a 3D

Lé Blade Runner;251176025 said:I... I need to collect my thoughts. I am a huge fan of the first Blade Runner ( hence my username ), and I thought 2049 was a masterpiece. When I think of Blade Runner from now on, I think of these two together, as one coherent whole.
And the soundtrack was amazing - the ambience, the dark brooding atmosphere... Perfection.
Yeah, you can't remove Joi without removing a massive chunk of what K is and why he does what he does. That moment when the Joi advert calls him Joe, and you see the slogan, is one of the saddest moments in the whole movie and is one of the biggest catalysts for why K saves Deckard. Maybe he isn't special after all, and he's not a living boy and he doesn't have a soul, but he can at least help someone who is and do something special regardless of the rest.
Thats what I expected when it was introduced.Any other director would have had an action packed shoot em up third act with the underground replicants joining forces to topple Wallace's corporation once and for all

With K infiltrating Wallaces HQ amid the chaos to rescue Deckard

Exactly the same thought, once they all appeared from the darkness and talked about an uprising, I thought the movie was about to lose me.
I should never have doubted you, Blade Runner!
One of the holographic ads has exposed breasts and there's an exposed statue, and the beginnings of a love scene that doesn't really feature nudity. In terms of violence, there's definitely some, but it's not gratuitous (although a fight scene later on may be pretty intense for someone younger).
I'm watching some interviews and came across this video where Harrison Ford was asked about what made him to do the Sequel and he basically said it was the Script/Novella and that Ridley Scott wasn't directing it (sort of as a joke).
Just wish I knew how K found the flying cars! Wonder if that was a deleted scene.
It is only 3D at my theatre, but the next town over has a few non-3D tonight I am leaning towards.
The original Blade Runner was a 15 in the UK and so is this sequel. I was a bit surprised that this very expensive film was pitched as an R in the United States. It does comprise some horrifying scenes that I wouldn't expose a minor under my care to, particularly the casual killing of both humans and androids. I find myself a bit surprised to agree that an 18 certificate might have been appropriate in the UK, too.
And on another note: why are American censors so obsessed with the possibility that young boys might see a woman's breast?
This film will still be showing next week. The cinematographer says it's best viewed in 2D. Thing is, to me when somebody says "next town over" that's just a 30 minute ride on the Metro. Not a big deal at all, even for a very long film.
But for all I know you'd have to drive for an hour or two there, and then back, and it's a very long film so it's a horrible prospect.
If I were you I'd go to a showing in the local, don't care if it's in 3D with particularly pungent smellivision. At least I'd get to see it while not worrying about how to get home in time to catch up with the rest of my life the next day.

Where's my all out battle with Deckard punching Leto like Norton punching Leto in fight club
I really expected an all out battle too and glad it didn't go that way
We can stop calling them androids now, right? Replicants are biological, not robotic
yeah I totally thought they were androids up until today. Weird. I guess maybe the first movie didn't make it clear?
Is 3d a must? I generally hate 3D.
It's not, at all. The movie isn't made for 3D, it's just post processed nonsense. 3D needs to go away.
it really, really, REALLY does.
just makes everything fuzzy, movies more expensive, and frustrating trying to find non-3D showtimes.

Apparently Ford had a really shitty time on the original.

It might actually be just his car. I don't think it got trashed when Luv and her guys kidnapped Deckard and it's reasonable to think that the resistance brought K's car back with them.
Oh man playing back the original with the new knowledge that Rachel was Nexus 8 and designed specific to fall in love and reproduce does this suggest that she never truly loved Deckard and was just folllowing her programming?

Dude is gonna be pushing 78 when Indy 5 releases.can't believe Harrison ford is 75

Ford in this film definitely made me excited for Indy 5. Dude's still got it.
She also mentions that she's an orphan adopted by a rich family who loved her and set her up for life because they couldn't take her to their new life in the colonies. When he asks about using real memories she is evasive, saying only that this is illegal. She's in the right age range.
The sex scene reminded me of Her but with more of a punch.
What 2049 "reveals" matters not one iota in regards to the original, as far as I'm concerned.
I just got back to it. I know a lot of people are loving this film and hailing it as a masterpiece or one of the greatest sequel ever. But I didn't enjoy it that much. Probably because I've never seen the original, I only wikipedia up the film. So maybe a lot of the nuances were lost to me.
