The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
I like when people talk shit about a movie they clearly didn't really understand.
Ugh. This is such a dumb/tired argument.
I don't mean in the pretentious sense, I mean basic plot mechanics. Dime didn't seem to understand K was a replica from the beginning, which is basic for understanding the movie. That's all I was saying.

I did know it just didn’t really interest me. What, a human rights movement for replicants. Woop de doo. Just felt this was one thing among many scattered things it was trying to do. Too scattered.
I haven't seen this yet. I loved the original, and meant to see this at the cinemas but for various reasons missed it.
Should I bother? Is it worth hiring via Google Play for $6? Is there a dialogue that gets removed in the Director's Cut? Do we get to see more replicant boobs?

It’s robotic. And cold. And heartless.
Maybe that’s the point. But I need a relatable likeable or detestable main character at the very least to take you in and along. If K is meant to be that, he isn’t. Even his journey isn’t really mapped out. You don’t care enough about him even if you’re sure what he’s trying to do. Which I wasn’t.

It's not any of those things.
That was my point though. It’s very much a on inverse of what I want and expect from a film which is usually to take you along with it. This film is the opposite of that. You’re watching events unfold from a cold remove with nobody as your avatar or point of focus. I’m sure that’s part of its *beauty and it is beautiful. It just had no heart for me because of it
