Haha lmao. Come to think of it, what are some science fiction films with a non-white lead? All my favourites in the genre are overwhelmingly white, but Starship Troopers gets a pass
Wait, THAT'S the big twist? That replicants can reproduce? And Gosling isn't the miracle baby?
Man, cool movie and all, and fucking awesome visuals and score, but I think I'm slightly disappointed.

I cant' remember who the lead in sunshine is, but there's plenty of races in it.
One last question: is gaff deckard?
Does deckard have his memories thoughK visited Gaff at a retirement home early on in his investigation. Deckard shows up much later in the movie when K goes looking for him in the radiated zone. Two different people.

He did make an origami of a sheep. Do Gaff/Deckard dream of electric sheep?
Fuck this. If this is the future of film audio then I'm done.
but yeah, theSS actually had a good twist. This one was just sorta eh and when delivered by one eyed woman holding a photo = even worse.
Lol, my friend kept falling asleep. I shouldn't have nudged him, the movie would have intermittently done the job for me.
That's the thing, there'll be diversity in the supporting roles at most and IIRCI cant' remember who the lead in sunshine is, but there's plenty of races in it.
new ghost in the shell = SMH though
why is it confusing? How did Joe find the bees/sign of life? Through a scanner. clearly the opposition also had the technology once they knew where he generally was.
They don't focus at all on Deckard's memories from the original film (pretty much everything revolves around his meeting with Rachael as far as callbacks are concerned).Does deckard have his memories though
I dont know why people are dissapointed about a twist not being twisty enough. I dont come into movies expecting twists. Here I was shocked from the first minute about Goslings character being a replicant.but yeah, theSS actually had a good twist. This one was just sorta eh and when delivered by one eyed woman holding a photo = even worse.
His point being that if you care about twists, watch M. Night films. This film isn't really about the twist. I didn't for a second buy that K was the born child but admittedly I wasn't clever enough to think it would be someone we've already seen.
When I left the cinema I did feel like the ending was a cliffhanger in those respects but the more I think about it the more complete it feels. I didn't really like the final shot. I was hoping for something more provocative than a standard medium shot of Deckard.So no resolution? No scenes of the uprising? No scenes at all of Wallace getting his?
I get the filmmaking artsy aspect of ending on an emotional note, but it would've been cool to see the revolt beginning on other worlds.
That's the thing, there'll be diversity in the supporting roles at most and IIRCI guess Get Out from this year could count.the Asian dudes bite the dust half-way through the movie and I think the last two survivors were both white? Not sure.
Don't even get me started on Ghost in the Shell :< This movie blows it out of the water in every way.
I don't understand how it's possible to fall asleep during this.
So no resolution? No scenes of the uprising? No scenes at all of Wallace getting his?

oh but the twist is meant to add depth a shock factor to the K story. Otherwise, it's just all sorta eh. Considering we follow K in this movie as the protagonist as he is led to believe he is a real boy and the chosen one, the twist mattered more than you gave it credit for. It just wasn't done well with a verbal exposition instead of more dramatic or interesting reveal.
Makes sense, though it's not shown. Everyone is saying they tracked him through his car which was a long ways away. There were several plot beats like that, which didn't really work for me. But I can go with that explanation.
Which also makes me wonder why Joe didn't think his car could be tracked. "I came alone," he tells Deckard. In a car that the police department can track? Why would that surprise a veteran of the force? Why didn't he find a different car if he didn't want to be tracked? (I know, I know.)
There's barely any fight scenes!
Wallace needed to get kicked off a skyscraper to truly be a satisfying movie.How was there no resolution? I mean, considering you thought the twist was weak, maybe you just had weirdly high expectations for certain aspects. Wallace "got his" by the fact he'll never know the secret to creating replicants that can reproduce and when this second replicant revolution comes, replicants will probably be banned again
How could you fall asleep with those visuals?Actually, I just thought of a way. Be deaf.

should have cut the movie where Joe lays on the snow. Everything after was redundant. BR2049 is his story, not deckards.
The same song played during it (Vangelis' Tears in Rain was listed as the last song in the credits).Was hoping Leto would get whacked but other then that I liked the ending
Gosling's death was very reminiscent of Rutger Hauer's death in the first one.
Fuck this. If this is the future of film audio then I'm done.

How wasn't it done well? Some of you are WAY too quick to call anything being said exposition, as if normal people don't speak their mind all the time
Maybe it was just me, but the second Deckard walked in, I expected him to just collapse and have the camera pan up kind of like the end of Cowboy Bebop
The same song played during it (Vangelis' Tears in Rain was listed as the last song in the credits).
I don't entirely agree - in the moment I was expecting and felt like they were building up to some kind of closure with Deckard meeting his daughter. I do think ending on K would have been more effective though, and the other editing choice would have been to cut immediately to Deckard inside, then finish on Gosling lying down with the 'Tears in Rain' queue.should have cut the movie where Joe lays on the snow. Everything after was redundant. BR2049 is his story, not deckards.
rebel replicant was all spoken and shown exposition = lazy af. We've only seen the woman for all of 20 seconds earlier and now she shows up to:
- here's a picture (again - to hit you in the head in case you forgot you saw it already)
- "and oh, you're not it."
very hamfisted.
What does this mean? Was it too loud or something?
K turning out to not be Deckard's son wasn't just done for a twist, it was absolutely essential to some of the core themes of the film, like how according to K's memory in a way Deckard was his father, and which version matters more?

How else would have have found out he wasn't actually Deckard's son? They LITERALLY made all the evidence point to it being him and outside of someone who actually knew, the woman in question, there was no way for him to figure it out. Keeping it ambiguous would have also been dumb. Not every movie needs a vague ending for the sake of it.
The loudest score maybe ever in a wide release movie.
You felt the movie was supposed to end on an uprising which was introduced like 20 minutes before the movie was over? And that Wallace, who K never meets, is supposed to get thrown out a window or something?So no resolution? No scenes of the uprising? No scenes at all of Wallace getting his?

The loud music was great imo. The synths in Mesa when they're on their way to the orphanage was what I was holding my breath for when we see K return from the farm in the opening. Would have liked more moments like that in general.The loudest score maybe ever in a wide release movie.
