The visuals and the sound - amazing.
All that unicorn baloney was added retroactively, with the sole proponent being Ridley himself. I'm fairly certain even the people who wrote the script are like "Yeah, Deckard ain't a replicant.".
No it wasnt. It was shot for the movie and intended to be in the edit. The director is the one who holds the vision for the film. He is he one that visualizes and moves production forward. Like it or not, the director is the vision holder.

Gaff's not a replicant, though.
Why cant they make memories from a human?
Saw this last night and loved it, I still don't really get what everyone's motivation was, and that might be because I never saw the first movie.
When Luv kills Robin Wright's character it looks like she is sort of going rogue. She has is attitude like she's mad at her for underestimating replicants, "of course none of us would ever lie to you", but later she doesn't hesitate to kill the Rachel replicant as soon as Deckard mentions the eye thing.
Robin Wright wanted the child dead because it would destroy society's perception on the human / replicant dynamic, but Wallace and Luv just wanted it to experiment with?
I also can't figure out what the scene with Wallace killing the newborn replicant was all about.

Except the final cut is canon.
They clearly wanted to let it remain open to discussion, but come on, all signs still point to him being a replicant.
I thought it was leftover footage from Legend, which was filmed several years after Blade Runner?
Why not? Although yeah, not conclusive but it makes the Deckard is a replicant idea a little less solid, for me anyway. I can't imagine it's just lack of continuity. I'm sure all angles were covered.I don't see how it's conclusive in any way.
Unicorn scene and then finding the Unicorn origami at the end.
Just shows someone could see his memories.
Also, human jizz and replicant egg or whatever makes another replicant?
Or are they more?
Or is it just robo-jizz...
But still, did Gaff know Deckard was a replicant (because of the unicorn origami)? And if he did why didn't he tell K? I certainly don't think there is a definitive answer but it sways my opinion into the Deckard is a human camp.
It's human DNA, albeit subject to some unspecified genetic engineering. These androids, or replicants as they are called in the film, are humans created for use as slaves.
Ok going tomorrow morning for this very reason.This will be out of Atmos after Thursday. Should I see it again tonight??

I was debating as well, it leaves Dolby Digital/IMAX this week at all the theaters around me. I decided against it though, I've seen it twice and I don't really feel like sitting through it again.
I will definitely buy the blu ray and enjoy it a lot at home though in a few months. Hope it comes out before Christmas.
Now the real question is do I see GeoStorm on Friday 😐

I tend to think of Rick as human too, but there is a ready explanation of Gaff's silence.
K is a blade runner for LAPD and Rick was a colleague of Gaff. Gaff could have gone after Rick in 2019, but he didn't. Having held his peace for 30 years, why would he out Rick now, to a person who would hunt Rick down and kill him?
In no way are they androids
They are Engineered humans, there is no machinery inside of them, otherwise you wouldn't have needed the test to find hidden ones, you could use a scanner or something
Perhaps my biggest issue with the story is Luv stealing the bones and murdering that one guy without a single surveillance camera capturing the footage or a single guard stopping her. In a dystopian world where you've got surveillance lights and drones on every corner following your every move, it's almost funny how easy stealing from those files appears to be. It's like you can just walk right in and take what you want. And this was extremely sensitive information that she got away with, too.
Lt. Joshi believing K destroyed all traces of the child without any evidence also seems rather forced. Especially since he completely failed the baseline test, which at the very least should've cast some doubt on him.
He finds out when the police do, so we assume he has insider information / influence.Also, I'm not quite sure how Wallace came to realize that there is a child Replicant. Have Wallace and Luv bugged the police station and the forensics lab or something? Because that's the only explanation that I can see. He pretty quickly seemed to jump from "I still can't make Replicants bear children" to "Find the child".

I thought this was kinda strange at first too. If I had to guess, maybe she thought that his failing of the baseline test was a result of him killing the child. It had such an impact on him and so she assumed that he was being truthful when he told her he killed it, especially since he had displayed in front of her earlier in the film some concerns about having to kill something that was born. That or she just trusts him based on his past performances and that replicants aren't supposed to lie.
Blade runner is leaving all fancy showtimes and theaters for me this Friday to be replaced by Geo storm and only the brave so I would suggest if anyone wants to go see it in 3-D or IMAX or whatever do so today or tomorrow!

Saw it for a second time.
My impression of the K/Joi romance scene has considerably improved. At first I thought it sort of overstayed its welcome, but I didn't have that feeling this time, weirdly enough. It's really well done - there's an ethereal quality to it I can't put into words. Also, Joi is actually a really good track for that scene.
It's clear from their earlier scenes that Joshi harbours a soft spot for K. That clouds her judgement when K comes back with a failed baseline and she chose to believe that it's the secretive nature of his mission that's causing his erratic behaviour and not K deliberately hiding something from her. Going along with the ideas introduced in the film, it's also a case of hearing "everything you want to hear".Lt.

People gush about Sea Wall, but Joi is my favourite piece of music by far. Rain has a bit of the same motif as well.
Ethereal is a good word to described the dynamic.
Just got from watching the movie. Theater was packed (spain, but this last 3 days has been festival of movies were every ticket costs 2.90 euro no matter the theater you go)
Really liked it, the sound was amazing in the theater I watched, really am experience.
So what do people think about the AI waifu Joi? We know Ana de Armas in spain as she was one of the main actress of one of the first mystery/adventure series in Spain called El Internado (she was a (clearly grown up) high school girl on thay series, so if you want to watch her dressed with a hogwarts private school attire, just look for her on google).
As cute as she is I never thought she was a good actress on El Internado, but I really liked her a lot here, she did great and was sad when the villain brakes the portable disk were she is stored.
I think Luv might be my favorite person in this movie. I had to look it up on youtube to see if this scene got a featurette and it did. It's so interesting how despite how enforcing she comes across she has "softer" side. As seen by her getting nails done with (hologram?) etchings of what looks like an elk/bambi to her shedding tears in times of violence.

Most badass scene in the film by far. I got goosebumps the first time I saw the eye close-up and heard the softly spoken fire commands.
I must have taken this scene entirely different to everyone else. I took this entire scene to mean what K thought without him uttering it, that he was the child. He said he had taken care of it, as in the evidence, but as far as I remember he never said "I found and killed the child". Joshi told him he has 48 hours to get away before people will come for him, and I took that to mean "this is the most I can get you without raising suspicion that I knew about this, but I'll do this for you". I think they understood each other fairly well and she clearly had a soft spot for him for his work for the department and although it's not "supposed" to be that way, she sees something unique in him. I didn't feel any different about this scene during my second viewing.Lt. Joshi believing K destroyed all traces of the child without any evidence also seems rather forced. Especially since he completely failed the baseline test, which at the very least should've cast some doubt on him.
Did anyone else see that scene as a bit of a tongue-in-cheek play on the "enhance" sequence in the original, since people complained about it being boring?
