I feel like SF stuff often uses that clunky 'quick explain the backstory and get it over with' thing
I can pretty much tell you whether or not I will like a sci-fi work based on how much explication is in it. (the main reason I thought Inception was so terrible, for ex)

i also really like THX-1138 a lot, though i don't watch it in the same way i watch blade runner
when blade runner is on i can do nothing else but look at blade runner. there are def parts of THX-1138 that i get up and wander out during. i also really like some parts of the remaster - like the new robot factory FX - and really don't like some parts of the remaster - the car chase additions.
zardoz is sort of like blade runner, can't do anything else but watch zardoz when it's on. you're right though, it wears thin. i just put it there because i put barbarella on the list first, decided that was too obvious.
i would put up a barbarella poster in my house before a blade runner poster

zardoz is cool for the first half while it's total WTF, sags during the big reveal, and the violence at the end is just yawnsome. it is sort of like dawn of teh dead in reverse.

war of the worlds i just put on there because a) it's a really good movie and b) i want to be open to new mainstream sci-fi not sucking, even remakes. i thought even "day the earth stood still" had some worthwhile moments.
― mr peabody (moonship journey to baja), Saturday, 3 September 2011 20:46 (twelve years ago) link
though i've stayed far away from the new planet of the apes stuff
i wonder what the blade runner reboot will be like

dude, the new apes movie rules.
apart from one neat ideas (the nanobot thing) the day the earth stood still remake was probably the worst movie i've ever seen. yeah, i'm being hyperbolic.

― occam's hellraiser (latebloomer), Sunday, 4 September 2011 04:10 (twelve years ago) link
agree that war of the worlds was pretty good though. except for the ending with the totally dead son being alive, that was soooo heinous.

So, in re Blade Runner 2:

What about the rumored Blade Runner sequel?Funny enough, I started my first meetings on the Blade Runner sequel last week. We have a very good take on it. And we’ll definitely be featuring a female protagonist.
