Doc Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I have just spent three hours of my life watching Blade Runner 2049. I was losing the will to live until he met Harrison Ford (about 2 hours in) and then in was pretty good. I'm not sure what to make of it Atmospheric, special effects, sooooooo slow, and all that mumbling. Anyone else seen it? Bottletopburly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Yup - it came last week - biggest anti climax ever - and we were so looking forward to it. Yawning - struggling to stay awake - wondering when it was going to end - and only a very tenuous link to the former classic. But the visuals and sound quality were terrific - however you can't disguise a naff present by wrapping it in fancy paper. Wot on Earth were all those great reviews about? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philjay Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I am glad we missed it at the cinema now. I am a big fan of the original and was looking foreward to seeing this new one. I will curb my enthusiasm now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean Watson Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 It was not a Blade Runner movie... I mean it really wasnt. No film noir feel, no slightly mamga/cyberpunk vibe. I mean, even the replicants were barely distinguishable from humans. I know that is slightly the point but as far as the story went there really wasnt. Oh, and Harrison Ford cant act worth a damn anymore. I think its all the plane crashing. Then again, the only thing Ridley Scotts done well lately has been The Martian which kept close to the source material frankly and thankfully so you cant go too far wrong. And the soundtrack indistinguishable from Interstellar- I mean pick a note and stick to it for five minutes at a time. Oh, and Interstellar - All that blubbing! And Gravity too. Total botty water. And dont get me started on the new Star Wars films. But as to TV - now Westworld, that was pure quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we shoulda spread it out more - watched the whole 10hrs box set over two days lol. Great atmos soundtrack and stunning visually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted February 13, 2018 Author Share Posted February 13, 2018 I couldn't get on with Westworld. But Vikings or Game of Thrones are both fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philjay Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Not seen - Game of Thrones, Interstellar , Gravity or Bladerunner 2, seen the Martian though. Dont like modern sci fi or fantasy stuff, used to be addicted to it in the old days of hub caps, shakey sets and Harryhausen. Too little imagination required with this new fangled cgi stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
