It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

For me, her character and the relationship to K were the most visceral, gripping parts of the movie. Considering what they were in reality and the emotional connection they shared was magical, to the point that I described it as perfect love. I really don't want to expound since there are some who haven't seen the movie yet, but for me it is bitter irony that love like that is, in a sense, only possible as an artificial construct.
Just saw it. Great, but not as good as the original. Still better than anything else showing by far.

I want to see it, even though I do not like the original.
Different strokes, for different folks. Granted with 30 something years better ability to do special effects, it wins in that area.
The storyline just doesn’t do it for me though. Good, yes. I guess because the first one was so great, I was just expecting better.
Funny though, after all of these years, I can’t think of another movie franchise that has nailed the probable future of the big cities and how they are going to look.

I wont get into specific spoilers but now that the initial ooh and ahh has worn off....
I still say it was better than BR2019.
There was a certain point where I wanted to believe something too. The Christmas Miracle so to speak. I was right there and it wasn't an asspull and it wasn't like Law & Order. It was there but you get so caught up you actually believe.
No movie in recent years has had me that emotionally invested. Not since A Walk to Remember.
The film was so meta and post humanist that it was pretty deep.
I dont consider it a spoiler but seeing the Sulaco in port was neat.
The movie Soldier (1998) was kind of a shared universe movie with Blade Runner and they stopped using replicants as Soldiers and went back to humans (I guess for the same reason of Storm Troopers over droids).
So part of me likes to think the Sulaco was in port at the Colonial Marine/Space Navy port and Marines were either home to see their folks or a fresh batch was getting ready to head off to quell an off world hotspot.
I think showing some dudes in USCM Chucks heading downrange for replicant tang woulda been cool.
I like the new Blaster. It is like a Glock whereas the original blaster was a Model 19.
It suffers because its a long moviecand hard to market without spoilers but this is a beautiful film.
Not just visually. It touched on both Nostalgia and Futurism.
People wondered for years if Deckard was a replicant and this movie makes the solid case of "Does it matter?"
Ever see D.A.R.Y.L.? When does a machine become human? To paraphrase Turing, When you can no longer tell the difference.
And contrariwise. when does a human stop being a human? When they become wholly and morally unrecognizable.
Movie of the Year if not the decade.
Yeah, you nailed it with Deckard, does it matter if he's a replicant? Same with Joe (and Sapper - cool name, BTW), he "humanizes" himself, while the "real" humans demonstrate no admirable human qualities. They all end up being more human than the humans. We've seen that message before in movies, but rarely is it as well done as BR2049. That line was blurrier in the original - Batty was more of an anti-hero, and while you could empathize with him, he and his crew were not "human".
