Saw this last night. Wow. Definitely delivered as a Sci-Fi movie.
"Love? Or Mathematical precision?" That line carries a lot of weight.
It needed more of that in order to achieve what the original did... but since I guess that wasn't what the director went for I just took it as a great production and audio+visual masterpiece. Hans zimmer could have done better with the soundtrack but he did (as expected) incredibly well with textures and sound effects. Maybe he didn't wanna compete with Vangelis so he went that route. Smart choice
the original to me is not a science fiction movie. It's more of a modern bible. Truly the book of cyber life. The story plays a secondary role, but the meaning behind it all plays well into the emotion of the viewer.
Also, the replicants in the first were much much more emotionally superior to the (assuming we're not all replicants, right deckard?) humans. Rachel taught Deckard about love, Batty showed him humility.
in this movie we had a great flick with evil replicants battling the good guys (seems like us humans are becoming less and less common in 2049).
I wish that the story had a deeper more emotional level than simply trying to figure out if Deckard is human or not and if it's possible for replicants to breed.
what did you guys take from it other than the cool story?
