Being a huge fan of the original I was trepidatious about the sequel, but ultimately greatly impressed by the fidelity to the original and the expansion of its themes. Very satisfying indeed.

This film perfectly captured the feeling of both decay and advanced technology that the original did, a world where things should be far better but are slowly getting worse. The rich and powerful own the world of Blade Runner, so they live like Gods while the rest of the world does what it can just to survive. That's the real reason Replicants were originally built, to do the tedious and the necessary and the dangerous jobs humans no longer wanted to. The problem with that? Those low-level often high-risk jobs were all that many could get to live on. Just look at the buildings and people of both films-they look like they live in a Post-Apocalypse world. Contrast that with the kind of world that Eldon Tyrell and Niander Wallace live in? There is no comparison that makes sense, beyond the world of Blade Runner being owned by the few. Fun fact: Eldon Tyrell originally intended to find a way to make the Replicants so human they would be "superior" but otherwise no different, at which point he would have transferred his mind into a Replicant body with an indefinite lifespan and made himself, as he saw it, immortal. Guess that didn't work out so well for him. You have to wonder what Wallace's endgame was here, as well. The Nexus 7's, like Rachel, were able to have children with a human, so Tyrell succeeded. Wallace seems to want the same thing, but cannot quite crack the tech needed so needs secrets very few know to finish the job. The whole reason he goes to such lengths to get his hands on Deckard. Is Wallace trying for immortality as well? Or does he truly believe he can create what amounts to a Slave Race?
I love Denis Villeneuve and his films.
Denis is an outstanding filmmaker. The way he directed Deckard’s reappearance in this scene is timeless.

Trepidatious? How pretentious.
It took me four times watching it to realize that it’s actually very good…
@@jjlatinopedia I can tell from your handle that your sociolexical perspicacity is warranted.

"i just have some questions"
You just screwed yourself.
I would watch at any given time again 💎💕
There is K in Deckerd...
If people speculate Deckard was a replicant, than how in the hell did he impregnate Rachel??
That was the whole fkn story mate.
Pistol shot was weak
Jared Leto
Gunshot was weak.
Well I’m not sure what you were expecting from a pistol
