Finally watched the new Blade Runner. I was actually really surprised with how good it was.
More so than a sequel, it tries to be it's own entity, which at times I like and at times I kind of wish it'd go back to the moody atmospheric cyberpunk shit in the first one, but it's not that kind of movie I guess.
It's a shame it tanked, because I'm sure it'll be one of those movies where people will look back on it and realise how much went over their heads. There are a lot of subtleties that can be easily missed.
If you liked the first one you kind of owe it to yourself to see 2049. Don't expect it to be the exact same movie though. If you do, I think you might end up disappointed.
