This movie is outstanding. Every frame pops. Every frame is vital. It's such a gorgeous film, too. Absolutely see this in a theater if you can. It's one of the rare sequels that can totally stand on its own but also revitalizes and enhances the original. Very few complaints/issues with this movie. It's stunning, stellar, and smart. And I'll echo earlier comments that it has more heart than the original, too.
Glad you liked it. I just saw it for a second time on Monday, wanted to see it one more time in the theater to see if I missed anything. After second watch:
The scene between K and the girl that ends up being the daughter. When she watches the memory that K shares with her. Her reaction and the way she says "this is definitely real" is really a great foreshadow. Probably my favorite scene after second watch.
Also, I know I was expecting great cinematography from Villeneuve, especially after Arrival, but man, he really blew it out of the water here. And the score. Man. I want to see it a third time.
LV can poop on him all he wants, but Roger Deakins is so fucking good, it's sickening.
Yes, I should have given him credit as well. The Vegas scenes were fantastic.
Every environment felt fully realized down to the last detail. All of them have such dramatic lighting and atmosphere and texture. All of them are unique but somehow all hang together as well. Each is it's own thing but all of it combines for a cohesive whole. The visuals are breathtaking and do so much of the heavy lifting. The characters/actors get to live and thrive and breath in those scenes in a visceral and real way. Just outstanding.
The scene toward the end with Deckard and Wallace is so masterful. The way the water reflects on the walls and the shadows move to hide their faces as they continue to try and hide things from each other.... the ache for complete clarity and a full reveal... knowing we aren't going to get it... I mean, fuck!
I shall download it for my trip. Which cut, folks?
I like the Final Cut, personally. It is closest to what the director originally wanted.
I've actually still never seen the Final Cut. But I've seen the theatrical cut and the Director's Cut. Of those two, absolutely watch the Director's Cut. The Theatrical Cut is garbage by comparison. It's a waste of time.
Everyone I know swears by the Final Cut. So listen to Ruddo and do that one.
Guys, I am not a moderator! I swear to God! Why does everyone think I'm a moderator?

The themes, the tone, the pacing, the performances, the total care that was put into this movie just makes me want to jump around. It just feels so of our time but also out of time. I don't want to use a tired cliche but there is a sense of that old "they just don't make 'em like this anymore" to Blade Runner 2049.
Really, the only thing that really bugged me about the movie was
Leto. He's just trying too damn hard. Everyone else feels complex yet effortless. He feels way too flowery and exaggerated. And he lacks any deeper substance. It's like he's totally bought into his own bullshit hype in this. Ford fucking owns in him their seen together.

I was wondering why nobody was mentioning this.
I think everyone expected Leto to be the worst thing about this going in

Yeah, its so carefully crafted that i was totally immerse in this great universe.
I didn't mind him at all. *shrugs* I thought his attitude fit the whole billionaire-that-thinks-he-can-do-it-better-than-the-original.
It's probably a minor critique. He's not awful. He's just so flat and when he's surrounded by such excellent performances it really shows how out of his depth he is in this. Certainly not a deal breaker. The movie is still amazing. I just wanted more from him. I think that part could have been better.
I just don't know anyone with a TV that's sized for this movie. This needs a nice giant screen. I can't remember the last movie I saw where I thought, "Man, this made all the difference! I'm so glad I saw this in a theater, on a big screen. I can't imagine watching this at home."

It was probably La La Land.
I'm pretty sure, after thinking about it, that it was Avatar. Which is a way worse movie than either Blade Runner 2049 or La La Land.
