Blade Runner 2049

Telegraph one - "one of the most spectacular, provocative, profound and spiritually staggering blockbusters of our time"

Oh my goodness, my expectations have just gone stratospheric!!!

Blade Runner 2049 review: Harrison Ford is extraordinary in the most spectacular, provocative blockbuster of our time

Looking forward to hearing what Kermode has to say on this, he should dedicate his entire 10 minutes BBC News 24 give him to this.............for a month.

I *have* to imax this one

Roger Deakins says you should see it on a normal screen.

 

[not-bono-ever]

Well, I mustn't argue with that

Telegraph one - "one of the most spectacular, provocative, profound and spiritually staggering blockbusters of our time" Hard to have a more gushing review, really looking forward to it now.

Roger Deakins says you should see it on a normal screen.

Will go with that first then pop to an IMAX viewing

ecstatic review:
Blade Runner 2049 review – a gigantic spectacle of pure hallucinatory craziness

Do you always look to the Queen rhythm section for advice on your cinema-going?

Can't decide to go 3D, Imax of just wait a few months and torrent it and watch it on the 50" at home.

Going to watch 2D first
Then IMAX if it is a good as reviews say
After that many times at home

 

[UnderOpenSky]

I can't do that with films

If they are exceptionally good I may consider rewatching in 6 months time. If you watch it on a standard screen first, doesn't it take away some of the initial wow of watching it on imax?

 

[pengaleng]

booked imax for friday morning

 

[littlebabyjesus]

I love that movie so much I'm not going to watch it. I remember seeing it for the first time at the cinema (thankfully). Blew my mind. I actually agree with that article further up the thread that Decard's not a replicant but a jaded man who rediscovers his humanity and the value of life through his interactions with Rachael and the replicants.

Sorry to quote an old post, but one word:

Origami

 

[shifting gears]

Blatantly a double-viewer at the cinema isn't it?

Hoping these reviews aren't over-egging it.... never have I been so excited for a film. Will get a rewatch of the original in first for good measure...

Fucking Blade Runner... it's the dogs bollocks innit [emoji41]

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Oh no....I was trying to keep my expectations low but I've read those reviews now. Bugger. It had better be good.

 

[seventh bullet]

Going to see it on Thursday morning.

 

[iona]

I'm actually thinking of going to the cinema for this. Last time I went cinema was over a decade ago

 

[Nanker Phelge]

Got my tickets to see tomorrow night in Northampton at the Vue Cinema (which has a fucking amazing sound system).

 

[Beats & Pieces]

No spoilers here.

 

[Beats & Pieces]

Original post replaced with version with better audio.

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Just seen it this morning.
Um....

 

[DexterTCN]

Going to see this in an hour. Took the day off work.

 

[seventh bullet]

Equipment not working at my local cinema. Won't have the time to see it until next week. Arse.

 

[DexterTCN]

A masterpiece with a few flaws. The main flaw being Jared Leto both in performance and character.

Trouble is you can't really talk about the film yet because there are so many spoilers.

It links up really well with the first one.

It's a good 2 and a half hours, there's not a lot of action, there is a lot of talking.

It looks fucking beautiful.

If you liked the first one you'll most likely love this. They've done a man's job.

 

[DexterTCN]

I know 2 have already been posted but I'll put all 3 here. You can watch these, they're linked to the movie.

 

[marshall]

Was ready to be disappointed, but it's hard not to be blown away by the visuals alone. Not just the big picture, but the little touches are really smart. Engrossing stuff.

 

[Treacle Toes]

They've done a man's job.

Fucking hell.

 

[DexterTCN]

Fucking hell.

Watch the film then come back and discuss that

 

[Nanker Phelge]

Excellent....and flawed....just like the original

Me too (although it has been even longer since I last went to see a film). Going with my boys, looking forward tremendously.
