I always felt this movie kinda forces you to take itself seriously and profound. Villeneuve, I think, makes movies solely for himself, not putting himself on audience's shoes. Always too much focus on the setting, the cinematography and production design. They all are great - Villeneuve is visionary director in that. But he seriously needs to start considering pacing and rhytm of the story and/or hire Schoonmaker, Sixel kind of editors. Or he could have listened to R.Scott, the producer, because I think he was quite right when said the reason movie flopped is it's too long. Thanks for the review

yes they are androids, the real question is "do they dream of electric sheep?"

1. I don't see how Hans Zimmer's score is stealing from Vangelis. It's a sequel so of course it'll use similar motifs but also upped the ante with many new pieces. The soundtrack widely varies. 2. They were established as synthetic humans in the first film, and they're not invincible. They can withstand a certain amount of wounds, but of course they're shown to be killed by specialized guns. 3. It makes sense why replicants were intergrated into society in order to help keep the economy afloat. Aware citizens would've been notified by the higher-ups of how to spot replicants through their eyes that change color like Rachel's. A lot of people are familiar with Officer K since he works for the LAPD. 4. Niander Wallace didn't need comeuppance, he nonetheless plays an important role in how the Tyrell Corporation continues to influence society since the first film. Not every villain arc has to play out the same. 5. The surprise that the replicants can give birth is because they were supposedly designed not to, especially when there was no implication of it in Blade Runner 1. The replicants would protest for equal rights and propagate their species more if they found out, which of course the LAPD wants to keep them in line. 6. It made sense why K would go to one of the few people around in L.A. that knew Deckard before his disappearance. Gaff made the orgogami as a symbol of how K was blindly following orders, to which he gradually breaks free from. 7. 2049 was written so that it could follow either continuity of the original or The Final Cut. Wood is rare in the universe, and it takes place 30 years after the original so the dealer that gives K coordinates to where he needs to go hasn't seen much wood before. 8. 2049 isn't sexist in the least, and it's a cruel world for both genders. Yeah, don't comment on that when tons of your videos have been pretty sexist as well (including saying that rape victims deserved to be blamed for getting assaulted, you piece of shit dick with ears). 9. I highly doubt that 2049 ripped off Automata. One of the major concerns in the 2014 film was about robots repairing themselves. There are films that may have coincidental similarities to another from years ago, but it doesn't mean that it intentionally ripped it off. They're very different films. The chase scene in 2049 made sense in the context of events, which leads up to the river fight. Stark contrast there. I just don't get your review, and like your other stuff your style is nitpicky and condescending bullshit.

I feel like all characters - whether good or bad - should be 'three-dimensional', meaning they should have good and bad sides, making it easy for the viewer to relate to them on many levels. Even the Joker in the batman universe is 'three-dimensional' - he is somehow relatable when he speaks about his motives of anarchy... Like Roy Batty; who wouldn't want to do harm to whoever created you just to be a slave... Jared Leto's character is like; who the hell is he even?

There's no real threat in this world, there's no antagonist, it's just depressing, but not in a good dystopian oppressive kind of way, and as you mentioned, it looks clean even when it's supposed to look dirty or at least battered. K visits Gaff in a retirement home. In a freaking RETIREMENT HOME... in a future that's supposed to be dystopian. Who makes this shit up? Is this even sci fi? I'm through with Villeneuve.

There's no way he could have come out of nowhere without the authorities knowing it. Also, when the Dr sees his memory, she instantly knows it's a real one.

Deckard is a replicant. They're partly biological, partially synthetic, and have abilities humans don't have. The replicant in the original movie, Leon Kowalski, was a fissile material loader. He handled radioactive materials by design. Replicants, we can assume, are much more resistant to beta radiation than normal humans. It's also why, contrary to this reviewer appearing stumped, they don't procreate (mostly). They're not identical to humans. They're super strong, resistant to cold and radiation, and are engineered cyborg lifeforms, essentially. A lot of the plot isn't laid out in exposition. It's "blink and you miss it" worldbuilding. Replicants being resistant to radiation was like the third scene in the original, though. Most the 'logical inconsistencies' I've seen pointed out don't exist. They're just people who didn't pay attention to the movies very closely. Deckard isn't explicitly called a replicant, but it's pretty clear he is. I think he was even before the directors cut edit. Deckard is extemely tanky against superhuman strength cyborgs trying to punch his skull in or rip his head off. I also think he has that copper-toned eye shine. We never see any hint that he has a childhood or past of any sort (other than having been a Blade Runner for a time). In my head canon, it's the reason Pris freaks out in the original. She tries to break his neck or rip his head off (and probably could against a human adversary), can't, and literally flips out. It's also, imo, why Roy spared Deckard. He realized he was just another fellow cyborg being played. It makes sense to the plot in the original that it's a revelation that this very human hunter of replicants first finds out they can implant memories to fool them into thinking they're human, then tells a replicant she isn't human, then falls in love with said replicant, then finds out finally that he isn't human either. That their world was a lie. Rachel even asks him if he's ever tried the Voight-Kampf test on himself. That's, imo, not just idle dialogue. It's foreshadowing that Deckard is a replicant and doesn't know it. It's also essentially confirmed by Wallace. That Deckard was made to procreate with Rachel. That Tyrell designed them both to be fancy prototypes that would one day fuck. It makes far less sense that the cyborgs who can't procreate would first be designed to procreate with humans, it makes far more sense to the entire plot that they procreate with themselves. The entire rebellion scene towards the end is about how procreation shows they're a race now. Not just a tool, a machine, a thing, but a living species that has agency, a destiny. The ability to reproduce. At least, it works for me. Tyrell is clearly willing to break the ban on replicants by making prototypes and using them on earth. He gives no shits. He is probably more powerful than any government on earth. The guy lives in a scifi pyramid. A monolithic palace.

Don’t bother, not the only major pothole in the movie. If there was a reason I am sure it would have been mentioned at least 3 times.

What kills me the most about this movie is that in the original Blade Runner, the whole point of the Voight-Kampff test was that the Replicants were emotionally *volatile*. Meaning, they could not reference human memories and thus were emotionally jarred by everything. The point of the Voight-Kampff test was to confuse and provoke them. Roy Batty's character is all about the intense emotional experiences of a Replicant in spite of the insistence by the world that he was not human. However, in Blade Runner 2049, the script treats it as a foregone conclusion that all Replicants are now LESS emotional than everyone else around them. In the transition between the films, it is as if the word "Replicant" had its definition swapped out from "synthetic human" to "android cyborg robot human." Or at least that's what I have to tell myself when I watch this garbage dump of a movie in which Ryan Gosling manages to show a grand total of like five facial expressions across two and a half hours of screen time, and other characters show even less. This movie has absolutely none of the sense of poetry of the original film and quite frankly, I didn't give a shit if a single one of the characters lived or died, because they were all so emotionally dead in the first place.

I suppose from a practical standpoint it would be easier to engineer something similar to a replicant than to build an android that passes for human. Checkout the game Policenauts. It features “frozeneers” who are test tube people created for colonization.

The dilemma I always have discussing this movie is how much better it is than 90% of other sci fi movies, including the supposedly venerable ones like Arrival, which struck me as Dangerous Minds, but with aliens.

Good tip to check out automata. Something to add to the negative review: How did none of the critics notice how terribly unintelligent the whole DNA proof thing was? The writer apparently thinks we are all that uneducated about biology that male and female differ genetically is a mindblowing sci-fi investigation to us. The argument used in the movie is not even entirely true, but I guess they didn’t go as far as to the genotype vs phenotype thing in the Wikipedia article.

Both Blade Runner films are extemely light on exposition (except for the original theatrical release, but we'll forget that exists). They trust the audience to absorb the details and imagine the world and build it in their head as the movie goes on. A lot is left unsaid. Which is a great thing, imo.

They totally fucked up choosing Villeneuve. He's an ego with legs, the majority of his movies have this same ambience to them. I'm not saying he's horrible, in fact, to me, "Sicario" was probably one of the best movies from the past decade. The main problem is, the guy is unable to adapt to a previous established setting. And this is an endemic problem of all this prequel/sequel Hollywood phase, they copy what they shouldn't copy (the plot), and they change what they shouldn't change, (the setting).

After watching the whole video I can confirm your points are... Interesting to say the least. In the start you say it doesn't matter that Tyrell Corparition is replaced by Wallace Corparition which isn't true. Tyrell understood the fine details of building Androids meanwhile Wallace doesn't which is shown in the scene where we see Rachel when her eyes are the wrong colour. Also seeing the flower and something being buried there isn't just pure luck and bad writing. The environment is very bleak and is all grey and white so a bright Yellow flower will be noticeable Then there's a date on the tree so K comes to the logical conclusion it might be a grave and it is. Also Decard barely being in the film isn't exactly problem if he was in it more this film would probably be worse as a fil and a sequel. Also the theme of Women Violence is??? Where the hell did that come from? The love story between K and Joy is great and it's emphasised near the end that Joy never really Loved him she was just programed to love her. Ryan Gosling isn't expressing that much emotion because he's a robot what did you expect? And the Autism comment you should work on that part of you. Thank you for reading this very long comment

What, did you go to the Cinema Sins school of movie critique? Fucking incredibly petty niggles you find deal breaking. Gosling acted remarkably in this film. He's subdued. Why might that be? Does he, I dunno, murder people for a living? Is he a slave? If he stops murdering people or feels any intense emotion about it will he be summarily executed? Yes, yes he will. He is a disciplined assassin made to kill who doesn't want to feel because he knows it's all meaningless and may literally get him killed, and he has suffered a good deal of trauma already. He just wants a quiet life with his holographic wife. It's not that hard to see, but you sure failed to! It's like you don't even know what movie you're watching.

The Blade Runner films are art films there not really conventional movies thats why both films flopped despite good reviews.

Both Blade Runner films are slow and focus mostly on mood and atmosphere over plot the plots for both films are basic its the higher caliber visuals and film execution that raises the bar of the films themselves in my opinion.

Wallace also does get his comeuppance by losing basically everything that could lead him to the secret of replicant reproduction. not to mention replicants are basically build-a-bear humans which the movie is very clear about so it makes perfect sense that they don't just reproduce naturally. replicants have also always been synthetic humans, NOT ANDROIDS.

Ultimately, he improved his writing behaviors and implemented some more nuanced ideas.

You’re not truly understand subjectivity my friend. I haven’t once criticised your opinion, but you’re so insistent on refuting mine.

I don't disagree with you, but that "autism" comment at the end was a bit too childish IMO. Either way, yeah. The movie felt very dumb to me too. It also just felt like they tried too hard to make Ryan Gosling seem like this "cool badass manly man". I mean, he beats the shit out of Bautista? Yeah, right. And while the 1982 original Blade Runner dared to have a BIT of nuance in it with homosexuality for all it's emphasis on sexuality, 2049 has NONE of that. It's focusing on NOTHING but sexy and desirable women for straight dudes to ogle over. No nuance whatsoever. It feels like the movie was made by a pretentious manchild.

I just think it’s time Ryan Gosling came out as autistic. The community could benefit from having a movie movie star role model.

@@VaughnJogVlog You do realize Anthony Hopkins has Autism, right? So does Dan Aykroyd. And Daryl Hannah. NONE of them act like you supposedly think people with Autism acts. What makes you think Ryan Gosling has Autism? Or is this your attempt at making a joke? Because if it's a joke, I don't see what's supposed to be funny about it. Also, did you seriously only read the first sentence of my comment?

I was with you till the gross autism comment. You were insinuating that autistic people can’t act... cmon bro be better

Ryan Gosling has successfully acted well enough to convince the public that he doesn’t have autism.

You’re not making your case.

Not only is 2049 a masterpiece, but it is SIGNIFICANTLY better than the first Blade Runner. I'm sorry 🤷‍♂️

@@VaughnJogVlog The original movie falls flat for me narratively speaking. Roy Batty is the only character in the film with an arc. Rick Deckard is not all that interesting of a protagonist. We don't know that much about him, we don't know how he feels most of the time, or why he's a Blade Runner. There are a lot of unanswered questions about him and because of that, there is not a whole lot to connect with. He comes off as a bit of an empty void. Blade Runner 2049 quite literally fixes every single issue I have with the first Blade Runner. 2049 takes the same themes as the original and expands on them with a much stronger narrative and better-developed characters. Agent K is an amalgamation of both Roy Batty and Rick Deckard. An incredibly sympathetic replicant who is struggling to find meaning in his existence. He is FAR more interesting of protagonist than Deckard is and his character arc is incredibly satisfying unlike Deckard who doesn't even have one to begin with.

@@VaughnJogVlog Another big issue I have with the original is the romance between Deckard and Rachel. The chemistry between them feels nonexistent and their "love" for each other is extremely underdeveloped, awkward, and forced. In 2049, Agent K's relationship with the JOI is so much more heartfelt and authentic and it gives a tremendous amount of emotional weight to the story, something that was severely lacking from the original Blade Runner. Just take a look at the scene where Deckard pushes Rachel up against a wall forcing her to kiss him. I feel no love between these characters. And the movie is really banking on their relationship so that Deckard can find his humanity in himself. But since I see no love between them, I don't feel much for either of them.

One relationship we see start, and the other we have to assume it started with a purchase because there’s no other way.

@@VaughnJogVlog that's one retort you got (which doesn't actually refute the fact that one relationship is still crucially underdeveloped and the other is significantly more developed and has more emotional weight). Care to make any more?

I couldn't agree more with all your points. I found this movie to be a complete snooze fest and very uninspired. I really enjoyed the original film but this is just a rehash for stupid people

Thank you. I go back and forth on the original as I am one of the weirdos who prefer the theatrical cut with its noir voice over helping to lay things out. I feel like without seeing it, or looking things up online, the director’s cut fails to convey the world. I imagine that no one could possibly watch 2049 first and have any clue what the hell is going on, or stay awake.

I fucking love sci-fi, in books, videogamea, movies and series. I tried so hard to like these movies but both of them put me too sleep. I found them so boring.
