If it's the director/composer duo who did Arrival, and it is, I think it will deliver good atmosphere.

but other than raking in gobs of cash, this movie is 100% unnecessary.
Also there's something too...crisp, I suppose the word is, about what's here. Visually, the literal grain of the images.

If Deckard dies in this, then Indiana will have to die in 2020 in order to complete the trifecta.

All I'll say is that it's 100% perfect that Bautista is in this and I hope he makes all the money in the world off of being in genre franchises.
And this I fully agree with.

doesn't look ~moody~ or atmospheric enough to be even halfway decent. vangelis soundtrack was also a big part of why the first one worked and this seems like it will be... not that. (did we learn nothing from the cosmos revival??)
trailer doesn't reveal anything even resembling a plot but can't say i'm too excited based on what's shown

so the blade runner replicants don't have a built-in shut-off date like the normal ones huh

on one hand, I kind of miss the old trailer style of the day when you didn't have to give the SHIT IS GOING DOWN sound effects and portentous looks & dialogue
on the other, there are some really pretty set pieces here

mh and I agree, again
the storyline is pretty obvious from the trailer but as above, not why I watch movies starring this star, or directed by this director; if they do the respectful thing and give away the "twist" in the first act, I'll award some extra credit

I thought that's the premise, all blade runners are specialized replicants that kill other replicants
so gosling has gotta find ford because he is the blade runner who can ~teach you how to live~

this film will perhaps bookend sci-fi noir's transition from lustful to totally sexless, with the midpoint being the repulsive cave rave sex scene from the second Matrix movie

Has anyone noticed how underpopulated everything looks compared to the original? In the Dick book (heh) the Earth is underpopulated.
I wonder if there's been a huge die-off/mass exodus from Earth over 30 years.

Judy Blume's "Then Again, Who Does" is the funny, touching story of a boy with six, no, five problems. For fans of "Are You There, God of Biomechanics? It's Me, A Basic Pleasure Model".

from the Soldier wiki page:
Kurt Russell broke his ankle during the first week of shooting, so the entire production needed to be rescheduled. The filmmakers first shot scenes involving Russell lying down, followed by scenes of Russell sitting, Russell standing but not moving, and so on.

this looks fine, exciting even, but how can it possibly feel or look like the original? and if it can't, why even bother making it? either make a new movie or don't. the sequel/franchise/spinoff disease is horrendous in tv/movies right now. it's as ned said, the grain, the general feeling, but also just the inherent cynicism in a remake. and of course the soundtrack, which does sound fine, won't be as good as vangelis. how could it be? it was of a time, it was of the instruments of a time, it was eulogised for decades afterwards. it's all just chasing the dragon, and relying on our collective desire to do likewise.

Jared Leto isn't a total deal-breaker the way James Franco and Danny McBride being in the new Alien movie are, but this looks thoroughly unnecessary.

Sequels/franchises have been the dominant paradigm for what, 30 years now?
It's really Marvel that kickstarted the new phase.

I only say that because the complaints about sequels and remakes have been going on for a long time. Makes me wonder if old people in the 50s were like "They're making Ben Hur AGAIN? Pfft."
Not that Lego Transformer Wars 3: Rise of the Silver Guardians -- Origins Pt 1 is a good thing, just saying this shit is cyclical.
