It's like it's missing "the rug that really ties the room together."
BR2049: Man hunts robots and finds his dad, his sister, his self, a dog, Elvis, and an underground army led by a cyclops.
A 2 hour rollicking, clever action drama set within the "bladerunner universe" would have been a better bet
Hahahahaha! Yes!
Why does Rutger save Harrison at the end?
Is the sole goal of the replicants to extend their life when the come to earth?
What does Gaff mean by” she won’t live but who does”
Are they planning to hunt down Rachel at the end of the film and wasn’t that Deckards job to do but then Gaff seems to imply that Deckard is finsihed
I hope my opinion on BR2049 gets better this time, I liked it in theatres I think I gave it a 5 or a 6/10 but I think it’ll be a higher rating now that i kind of know what I’m getting into as the film is kind of a meander.
I was also thinking this time backwards knowing that a possible theory was that Deckard was planted in that situation to have a baby with Rachel. Wouldn’t they both have to be replicants for that to be such an accomplishment the way Robin Wright talks about it in BR2049 as a world breaking phenomenon if replicants have kids, like doesn’t that definitely answer the questions since it only really matters if two replicants can have kids not if one human and one replicant can have a kid, that’s not such a big achievement. And what’s the reason for Rachel’s death in BR2049 again, I forgot
They still had a scene left to shoot with Harrison Ford, so Hauer wisely spared him from falling to his death. ;)
In a sense, does Batty not prove he is indeed more human than human by sparing the life of the man who's been trying to kill him? As his life-clock ticks down through its final moments, Batty goes wild, howling like an animal, experiencing all those sensations he knows he never will again. And in nearly his final moment he displays a last act of humanity in the mercy he offers Deckard. He saves Deckard because he's human—more human than human.
The ones we see in the film, yes. Others might flee to Earth simply to escape their off-world labor.
Gaff means she hasn't got long to live. The "who does" part refers to the fact that we all must perish some day. You can't hold on to your life—or to anything in this world—forever. May also be referring to Deckard having an abbreviated lifespan as well, depending on your view of the film.
I personally don't think Gaff intends to hunt Rachael down. He leaves the unicorn origami outside Deckard's apartment where Rachael is sleeping, so he would have had every opportunity to retire her. But as with so much else in this film, I suppose that's open to interpretation.

Including some retconning of the original BR, yippieyeay.
Oh so BR wasn't about a man becoming less of a human than the androids he is hunting? Funny as that was what the book and screenplay were about. Suddenly its all about Tyrell wanting two androids to procreate which I don't remember being even remotely hinted at in the original.
What with his 'Deckard was a Replicant schtick' and now this, I do wonder if Scott ever understood the story he was making.
It´s telling how someone talking such stupidity is allowed to make so many expensive films. I believe him when he says he will finish the film within time and within budget, due to his long experience. I deeply respect that. But artistically, how can he say such idiotical things?
It's almost too respectful of the original's look and feel and it could be described as being a Replicant of the original. The story is interesting enough up to a point but there is nothing in this that really has the wow factor. The characters aren't interesting enough to care about and while Ford is good in it you never connect with him being the Deckard from the original.
You never get the feeling this future LA is a bustling metropolis. The original had a viable and all too believable future. The street level scenes in this just don't resonate.
There are some annoying discrepancies that needn't have been in it. The LA Police dept seems to consist of Robin Wright and a few security guards. And how can someone walk into what is supposedly a secure area and steal evidence that apparently could have severe ramifications for mankind?
The hooker 'synching' with M's virtual girlfriend is we'll filmed but dull, unerotic and has all been done before in the film Ghost.
Why does Wallace have to send Deckard off world to torture info out of him? Presumably because it suits the plot and not much else.
And how does K know where and when to track the spinners taking Deckard?
Too many discrepancies that are there to keep the plot moving in the film, so i don't think we are in the presence of a 5 star masterpiece somehow. The film looks and sounds great so it's a shame it's anchored on to a pretty hollow experience.
I only caught it the once in IMAX, and it was more than enough to tide me over until the 4K release.
Anyone know if the steelbook artwork has been released? All I can find are place holders at the moment.
“I hope so, I think there is another story. I’ve got another one ready to evolve and be developed, so there is certainly one to be done for sure.”
Can't wait to see it in 30 years
It took my ears a solid hour to pop after seeing it. Was my first ever IMAX viewing, and good heavens was that a loud ass movie. The blaster shots were akin to someone firing off a handgun a few inches from my ear.
As for the steelbooks, several countries are getting this one in 4K, and it's the one I have paid off here in the States:
I heavily prefer the UK steelbook, though. Gorgeous, but ridiculously pricy (and I'm assuming will be out of stock eventually):
Isn’t it a Best Buy?
In 30 years, we'd be sure that Scott wouldn't go any route with it, as he'd be 110 years old.
