I'll compile a more in depth review later but I enjoyed it immensely.

Im doubtful about how its handled but some tech heads i know have praised it so hopefully im wrong

Even if I don't like it, I'm just amazed that it stayed so true to the original and not just used for the Blade Runner title to launch a franchise in 2017.

Better than the first?

Hmm... Well for me what makes the original so enjoyable is the world building and production design, not so much the characters. I think this film has the original topped in that regard. I cared about Ryan Gosling more than I did Rick Deckard in the first film.

Is the tone of the film similar to the first?

Yes. The noir is more subtle this time around, but still there.

It's actually such a good movie.

nifty

is it worth seeing if I haven't seen the first one, and don't really have any interest to

I heard you can see it without needing to see the first, if that answers your question.

I went in knowing jack shit about the franchise and I absolutely loved it

alright I'll probably see it then, not much else on right now anyway. cheers mates

I went and saw it last night.

Probably the best movie I've seen in a long time.

Agreed, probably my favorite of the year.

Saw it the other night. Best movie I've seen in years. And I did like it more than the first.

I ordered the DVD's of both Bladerunner and 2049 after watching.

I've seen 'em both, but there was some nifty plot in there. The cinematography was beautiful, and had little references and elements here and there of the old Bladerunner but without being too similar. Close enough, but not The Force Awakens to A New Hope close, if that makes sense.

Best film of this year. Star Wars better at least be as close as good in December.

EDIT: Just watched through the making-of documentar from 2007 (Dangerous Days; Making Bladerunner if anyone's interested) of the original Bladerunner, and one of the proposed intros during writing/stroyboard heavily influenced, if not is, the intro to 2049. The whole boiling pot of soup in the farmer's kitchen, and that short scene's plot. Even more little references than before.

I'm a nigger.

i had no internet or cell service due to some kind of power outage in my area and i went to see it at 10:10 the other night

literally just me and my friend in the whole theater

they got cameras in those theaters

Kinky

Now I wonder how long it will be before it pulls a Force Awakens and gets suddenly and arbitrarily labeled the worst thing ever made out of nowhere.

It won't because they're incredibly different in both circumstance and quality.
