[IJustWatched] Blade Runner 2049. What do you think about it? (reddthat.com)

Second time I watched it, first time was during its theatrical release.

Still a very powerful movie. The slow rhythm and the cinematography create a very heavy atmosphere, fit for the universe and message the movie conveys.

Some of the shots give a Dune vibe, nice to see this so many years before the first Dune movie.

Definitely recommended if you like SF and dystopian universes

Heavy spoilers ahead for anyone who is, for some reason, in this thread having not seen it

Obviously you're 100% entitled to feel however you feel about the movie, but I am a little confused by this. Wallace (Leto's character) was the driving force behind basically the entire film. K got accidentally wrapped up in Wallace's attempt to find the replicant child. That's what Dave Bautista's character was hiding at the start, it's why Luv went to capture Deckard, and learning about it is what ultimately motivated K to go rescue Deckard in the end.
