There was definitely some unnecessary spoon feeding in the film. But WB want this to do Nolan numbers.
when the rebel replicant came in with the photo near the end. I was like "come on!". please, don't literally do exposition that you've already done!
Damn, the trailers really didn't tell us anything about this film's plot.
Man I thought the movie opened so strong too. But it just keeps plodding and plodding. I thought things would pick up and get moving after K gets arrested and fails that decompression test or whatever (which I thought were great scenes btw) but no it insists on taking its sweet ass time as nothing terribly interesting or revelatory is happening.
And except for Tears in Rain reprise at the end the score was fucking random noise that was obnoxious in Atmos. I know I sound like I hated this movie but I didn't. It was beautifully shot, acted and the story was interesting but the pacing left a lot to be desired. Don't think it's a movie I would revisit much.
Thought Gosling was very good in this. Way better than Ford in the original.

Question! Did they reuse the music from the original from the "tears in rain" scene? I could have sworn I heard it again at some point in the film

So the McKenzie Davis character was part of the Resistance all along? How did they track K?
And I guess either kids don't exist in 2049 LA or society is finally ok with showing kids tits.
They only used it at the end. I believe it's a new arrangement.
She drops a tracker in his coat.
Did anyone feel like the time just split by? I knew going in that the movie was 2 hours and 43 minutes long but when K goes to rescue Deckard, it FELT like the ending of the film, but I would've sworn there was still 43 minutes left.
That was at the apartment. I mean when they come up to him on the street and proposition him the first time
No I didn't think it flew by at all. The movie was long and it felt it. Scenes drawn out and stretched to their maximum
I had the opposite interpretation of that scene. K encounters the baseline Joi, who is so different from the Joi that he had; the "Joe" phrase had meaning when the latter said it. His decision to die for a cause is a deliberate echo of what his Joi did by asking to be transferred into the emanator despite knowing that she could "die" permanently in so doing.Not just the teensiest bit creepy? There are abundant clues that she's just a recreational AI following her programming. His last encounter with her is as an advertising come-on, aping the very phrases to which he had earlier attached such personal significance.
I think they just met by coincidence?
Definitely.Do we think there was an implied analogy like roy's "tears in rain" to joe and snowflakes?

One eyed lady tells her to go talk to the green jacket guy. I wanna say she says something like, "see what he knows" or something along those lines.
Can someone explain to me why Dave Bautista's character had Rachel's Bones preserved in a box buried under the tree at that protein farm
Also am I imagining this or did this movie suggest that Deckard and Rachel's encounter in the first movie was all part of a master plan to get them to fall in love and ultimately reproduce because Rachel was special?
Just came out. Need to think about it first. One question. What the hell were Wallace/Luv trying to do?
So if Deckard has a child hes def not a replicant right?
If I had to guess I'd wager it has something to do with the religious savior allegory going on in the movie. The equivalent of preserving the Virgin Mary's bones. Because logically, obviously, they should have been destroyed.Can someone explain to me why Dave Bautista's character had Rachel's Bones preserved in a box buried under the tree at that protein farm

Rachel having a kid puts me on high alert that he actually is one
The love scene might be one of the best scenes I've ever had the pleasure to watch.

So Hans Zimmer watched the first two minutes of Blade Runner and thought "Yeah, that's what Blade Runner supposed to sound like" and then repeated that shit ad nauseum, right?
Joi in this universe is def a real AI, and K's Joi had developed her own feelings and drives, no doubt.
Ah you're right, she knew he had killed Dave Bautista. How, I can't say I guess!
I also don't understand what was the deal with K's supervisor, in general. I'm not sure her character made much sense.

I think there was plenty of doubt regarding Joi, 'everything you want to see/hear' was the slogan right? Definitely open to interpretation though.
So K "dies" in the snow. Inside, the memory designer is imagining snow.
True twins have shared pain and feelings sometimes.
Was he really just a copy? Or was the C-section necessary because they were twins?
Interesting question. This is what I don't get. Rachel had twins or no? The copy in this case was just scrambled records? How did K manage to get her memories?
She makes memories for replicants. He just happened to get one that was based on a real event in her life. Or thats how I took it.
It was good. I teared up at that final shot of Deckard. Lots to unpack.
I'll have to see it again. IMAX framing was nice but the sound level muddled some of the dialogue.
Right but she made her own memories for some? I guess that's possible but feels too neat
I didn't see it on Imax but I thought some of the audio was hard to hear, too. Couple of times I didn't pick up on what was said.
I dont think Deckard is a replicant. Wouldnt he too have to be a special replicant that can procreate in order for that to be the case? That would be dumb.
