Well it’s not Star Wars, it a movie that gets the brain involved. It has a slow burn feel similar to the original but with modern styling and perhaps a bit more commercial than the original, not that helped the box office takings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sime Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Ok, be as succinct as you can be, what do I need to take form the original to be able to flow into the 2049? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cafe67 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Nothing , you can vaguely remember the first one, you'll be fine, but I'm still not sure you will like it. But seeing as you liked arrival , maybe then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swervyn Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I watched the original as a refresher a couple or so months ago, I think it would be worthwhile doing if you haven't seen it for a while. Not sure anyone who hasn't seen the original will really get into this film tbh, don't think it really works as a standalone film Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hergest Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Just popped into my head and I'll post it as it's not a spoiler. I loved the bit with Sinatra on the Sony Hologram jukebox. One of those would fit nicely in the lounge room here at home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darth vader Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Picked it up on 4K at JB and watched it this weekend. Very good. Theres more than enough to tie it to the original and still done well enough that you dont need to have seen the original. Loved the almost Vangelis soundtrack. 4.5 hamburgers for this one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satanica Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I watched it in 3D from my projector, epic and totally worthwhile. I'll watch it again in the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hergest Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Ha! I watched mine on my computer screen with the crappy inbuilt speaker and loved it. Reading the posts of people watching it on 3d projectors and proper home theatre set ups makes me wonder how much better it could be. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony ray Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Loved it also, great sequel, very loud movie like Dunkirk. House shaking bass at -20. Missus watched it at -33 . I will buy this as it needs a few views to take all in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monk Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Watched it last night, only streamed on Google Movies unfortunately. Wished I'd seen it in the cinema. Pretty sure I'll buy the Blue Ray. Loved the way they used the music in the film, will have to buy the soundtrack as well. Visually it's excellent. Musically damn good. Slightly long I guess, but it certainly doesn't suck. Will watch again (hopefully in better quality). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hergest Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I watched 2049 again a couple of days ago and picked up some mumbled text I missed last time which added to the interest. Really enjoyed it again and I reckon it's going to stand the test of time and always deliver. Last night I dug out my Directors Cut of the original Blade Runner and watched that. It's interesting how watching the sequel puts the original in a different perspective. Far less darker than I've always felt and there's an upbeat feeling that I'd never felt before as if the state of the planet might actually improve. 2049 shows us there's no hope. Although I watched them out of sequence they work very well as a pair. I think I'll give it some months, maybe wait for a cold, dark day towards the end of winter and watch the 2 in sequence. I still can't help but sigh in ecstasy when Sean Young lets her hair down in the original. No matter how many times I watch it that gets to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blybo Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I watched 2049 for the 2nd time on Saturday night, but the first time at home on UHD Disc and what did strike me is either how dark the HDR version is, or how black the blacks are on my JVC X7000 projector. The first scene in particular at the "protein farm" was very dark. I don't remember feeling that at the cinema. I've also bought the UHD original (which must be close to version number6 I've bought) and will give that a run shortly to compare. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addicted to music Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 @Sime you need to watched the original b4 2049. As a kid in the 70s in1st watched the original at my uncles place. Fascinating SiFI! I thought. Fast forward to today, I made an effort so my daughter saw the original! Well, I have to say I had a giggle! Some of the scenes and ideas, without spoiling it, let's say we don't have flying cars which is a bummer, and we don't use CRT screens..... It's a bit like watching old star track series! But the original Blade Runner has some spectacular scenes for its era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emesbee Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I haven't seen the new one, but I was never really a fan of the original Blade Runner. However, its been a very long time since I've seen it, so probably should give it another go first. I might start with Metropolis though, since I bought the 2010 'Reconstructed & Restored' version on blu-ray last week. (Yes, I know its a 1927 silent movie, but its been an influence on many other movies since, including Blade Runner.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sime Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 (edited) @Addicted to music lol, I’m probably going to sell my unopened 4k disc of 2049, I couldn’t sit through the original again. Edit, ok I have zilch to do today, I’ll persevere. Edited March 24, 2018 by Sime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
