planetary Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Love the 1982 original. Top 3 film for me. Saw the sequel last night. It was like eating an overwhelming feast. I didn't know what to make of it and went to bed uncertain. Today, after sleeping on it, digesting it -- I have no distance, but it seems the kind of thing that needs to slowly sink into you. The story, visuals, sound, music, characters, atmosphere are full and rich. Perfect it is not (there are a couple bits which are too on-the-nose to me), but I'm shocked that it's as good? interesting? deep? expansive? complete? as it is. Go see it. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnS Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Which version @planetary of the original do you prefer (i.e. 1982 Workprint, U.S Version, International Version, 1992 Director's Cut or 2007 Final Cut)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've preferred the Final Cut over the Director's Cut since its release, but the differences are aesthetic (a few editing and coloring and effects changes, plus remastering), but the Director's Cut is also excellent. Would not touch anything else, especially the theatrical cut(s). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the recommendation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David88 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I'm looking forward to this, hopefully some cinemas local to me will be showing it. I haven't watched Blade Runner for quite some time now, I will have to make sure I have seen it before I go. Glad to hear that it's worth watching! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Final Cut does it for me. i can't wait to see the new one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
margarett Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I'm thrilled with the movie Blade Runner 2049. I'm looking for some kind of similar movie . Maybe.. Anybody here have a recommendation for a movie like this one did? I found some recommendations on the sites https://bestsimilar.com/movies/38404-blade-runner-2049 and http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1856101/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1, but I'm curious to know the opinion of those who watched something similar to the movie Blade Runner 2049 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChampagneInHand Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Repo man is another, though so much different, but a classic Sci-fi and a must watch. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puros Y Vino Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 If you're looking for a "similar" type of movie. Here are some suggestions. Gattaca. Distopian like Blade Runner, but "cleaner" look. Dark City. Split Second. Stars Rutger Hauer. B-Movie material, but a good flick. Los of fun. As for Blade Runner 2049. I loved it. It really did justice to the first movie. Excellent storyline that wove in the original story and characters. Great look. Soundtrack was great, though I would have preferred Vangelis got another crack at it. I think this movie will stand on it's own merits for decades to come. The first Bladerunner was a bomb commercially, but it has stood the test of time and has influence countless genres and media. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gattaca is a treat on blu-ray but understanding Battlestar really helps even if it’s the newer version but both were epic series.

Gattaca is not Galactica Though Galactica was awesome too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planetary Posted December 12, 2017 Author Share Posted December 12, 2017 I'm not quite sure about this, but you might look up the director's previous effort, Arrival. Also sci-fi, though not of a dystopian future -- but has a certain pacing and feel which is similar, I think. Good movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fosgate Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I watched Blade Runner 2049 last night. I have not watched the original in over a year but for sure I felt like it was the same world as the first one. Good show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
