    Absolutely spectacular film. My favorite of 2017 so far, and one of the best films i've ever seen.

    FINALLY, officially got my IMAX tickets for this (unless, given my luck, plans somehow fall through yet again). I'll be seeing it in six days.

    Hopefully your brain doesn't implode from the sheer excitement. Of everyone here, I really hope you enjoy it - you were the one that set me on the proper path with recommending The Final Cut years back as my very first viewing of the original, and I'll never thank you enough for that. So damn eager to see this movie.

    Thanks, fellas. Let me tell you, if you love BE, you will love BR2049 too. I'm at a loss for words now. Will type more later. I love this movie. I hope all of you will too.

    The images, the sounds. The quiet moments, the long pauzes which allow us to take in all the visual details... This film will be loved by those who don't mind a slow pace and Deaken's photography, but it will frustrate the Fast and Furious crowd. Impressions matter more than story or action. And I love the result. Yes, @DaltonCraig007 , my favourite film of 2017 so far too.

    I'll be going to see it with the attitude that this movie will SUCK bigtime. Hopefully it will surprise me. If it makes my cry at any point I'll call it a win. Not posting again until then.

    That´s more than I dared to hope. My heartbeat rises. Tomorrow afternoon or evening. Or both?

    I have no interest in the FATF franchise, mind numbing nonsense.

    I'm expecting exactly what @DarthDimi & @DaltonCraig007 have reported having seen it.

    I'm tremendously excited for my IMAX screening on Saturday.

    Let's just say that Michael Bay would hand in a 15 minute cut of this film and call it the best he can make of it. And yes, I mean that as a compliment for BR2049.

    Scenes are allowed to breathe. People stand in a place, they remain silent, they look at the world and so do we. The camera lingers precisely long enough to put yourself in their place, literally. Zimmer meanwhile does his two note thing but with enough Vangelis synth to ooze the charm of the original, even if the score is mostly devoid of actual melody. No BR blues... But that's ok.

    The film doesn't tell you what's going on. It shows you. And it takes its time. 162 minutes. Some will find this painful. Some will get nervous very quickly. If you want action beats every five minutes, stay away. BR2049 offers you an experience, not a rollercoaster ride.

    Amazing. Didn't feel like a rethread of the original, did some great new things and did not feel overtly long, despite being a long movie.

    I might even like it more than the original. Hard to say yet, since the original is a classic and BR 2049 just came out. I'll say this though ; I like Goslin more than Ford in the original. Much more depth to his character, imo.

    Also glad I wen't to see it without knowing much about the plot.

    @DarthDimi did you receive my PM about BR2049 last night? :)

    @DaltonCraig007
    I did, sir. But... here's the thing. I'm back in the theatre as of this very moment. BR2049 encore for me. :)
    After that, I will be able to give my complete thoughts. ;-)
    Any idea how excited I am?

    Imagine your favourite painting, a work of art that, without uttering too many words, talks to you in more than one way. The painting has now come to life, and it's going to beam its magic directly into your eyes and ears. I'm there right now, waiting to experience the moving painting once again. Talk to you in four hours, friend. :)

    Guys I'm shaken (not stirred).

    I definitively liked it more than the original, and the original is my #6 (now #7) film of all time.

    The more I think about it, the more it rises in appreciation for me.

    I know I adored it. I know it's somewhere in my top five. I have to watch it again, but...

    ...did I just see my new favourite film of all time last night?
