It was better than the first movie.
It was so beautifully shot that I am still speechless.
The story does justice to the legacy of the original.
The acting, direction and score all combine to make this the film of 2017, and one of the best ever made in my opinion.
After the movie I walked around with the soundtrack playing for an hour just reflecting on the film. Its that special.
Go see it.
It is not better than movie 1. In a lot of ways, this was flabby (the edit) and overly indulgent
It is beautifully shot and the audio work is great.
It is very slow moving and I dont think the macguffin of the "child" was strong enough as a propulsion factor for the plot.

Just saw it an hour or so ago.
6/10 < -- Score
It's competently made and its not bad but I can't help but feel it plods. It was very slow and felt much much longer than its runtime and I can't help but feel the central plot was a bit contrived - there was a twist, that K wasn't the baby but it didn't feel like a big one or interesting one. There wasn't enough sense of jeopardy or consquence in this one. Also, the dream maker being the daughter was sorta eh. He goes to see the top dream maker, and rather conveniently she's the one. To me, its funny how they pulled an idea from BR (do androids dream?) and made it into an actual plot macguffin also. Bad. Not only is she the magic baby, she also creates dreams for replicants. ugh
I love Robin Wright but in here, her character was so one dimensional. I was surprised they got her, and they made her so wooden in this.
Best thing about the movie surprisingly for me was jared leto. He was mesmerising on screen.
Might have to think about this one a bit. As for how it ends. would have been happy to it to end outside with gosling dying instead of the almost unneccessary scene with harrison and the boring ass chick in the bubble - I think she was poorly cast. She was just so uninteresting that you can't help but not care. They also spent so little time with her that she's not a character that the audience can care about.
Gosling was great in it and Denis pulled some great acting out of harrison ford
+ talk about specific scenes
The minute he got to orphan town and walked into the incinerator, they didnt need to spend anymore time with the black guy, he should have just wandered off and found the horse
the scenes in tyrrell with the water and lights were beautiful
I dont know how he got back to the city from junk town considering how fucked his vehicle was.
Luv as a villian had no dimensionality compared to Rutger. She was like a female terminator.
I don't quite believe they would get Rachel's eye colour wrong.
decker vs K/Joe with their punch up. I'm watching it going, why don't people just talk right away. "etc el". One of those scenes in movies where the whole thing would have basically not happened had someone just talked quickly.
Rebel Replicant woman with the bung eye bringing that photo with her was such a show the audience bit and totally unneccessary. I thought that whole sequence was expositionary. "oh you thought you were the child #TWIST!!"
in the future, with their tech and whatnot - some random woman can walk into the morgue and steal the bones and kill co co? Um, okay? Where's the survelliance/witnesses/audience? Same random woman then goes to LVPD and kills robin wright? Um, yeah okay?
anyhow. might need to watch this again in 3D. I liked it. I didn't love it.
