Watched this for the first time after people talking about it for decades

>Which version of this movie is best?
Final Cut

Conversely I’ve only watched 2049, and love it. Should I watch the original? Or does it not hold up well

>Should I watch the original? Or does it not hold up well
the Orginal is superior in every conceivable way and honestly feels ahead of its time still
br49 is modern jew trash

ok, I’ll check it out

Yes, the original is even better. The style is very similar, you will love it.

>The style is very similar
No, it isn't at all - are you autistic?

Where did 2049 touch you? Show me on the doll.

>watching 2049 without having seen the original

Why even bother dude the best part of the sequel is seeing what happened to the characters

It is almost identical in style. The mood, sets and themes are basically a direct continuation. Watching them one after another, it feels they could have almost been filmed years apart rather than decades.

checked.
2001:A Space Odyssey

I don't think it's that big of a deal actually. Both of them stand on their own pretty well, and can easily be enjoyed. Seeing how a prequel unfolds after watching the sequel first has its own merits.

>Where did 2049 touch you
that's the irony, user - it's one of the least touching, clinically sterile, and punishingly dull films that has only surface level connections to the original at best
the OG had balls, a french canadian beady eyed faggot directed the sequel, pathetic

so yes, you are autistic
I bet you're faceblind too

The workprint.

>Many people even consider the sequel to be better
I'd say it's a case of people expecting it to be pure dog shit considering reboots the last 20 years. Its not "better", but it is actually a decent successor to a classic which was surprising.

Except the entire crux of the plot was the relationship between Rachael and Deckard and what came of it. If you didn't observe all of that, you absolutely cannot fully appreciate what became of them in 2049. Many of the most powerful moments were just them replaying what happened in the original.

>but it is actually a decent successor to a classic which was surprising.
no, it isn't - at all
br49 is one of the best filters I've come across and I can confirm literally only beta male incel faggots enjoy it, 100% without exception

>you absolutely cannot fully appreciate what became of them in 2049
which was what again? whole lot of nothing, desu

You need to shut your whore mouth. It's a miracle that 2049 exists and is as good as it is. Do you realize how bizarre it is that a 3 hour art house film got that huge of a budget and nationwide showings in theaters in 2017, when studios were scared to put money into anything that wasn't a super hero flick? I literally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing it the first time, because I held the original so dear and was worried they were going to fuck up its legacy. They didn't. It was better than we could have dreamed of having. It's a great movie and completely worthy of continuing the original's legacy. Get your head out of your ass.

>Or does it not hold up well
mmmm it has rape sweaty
pretty problematic in the current year

Well, if you think that, then the sequel is even worse than I thought.

First is one of my favorite movies, and I thought the sequel was terrible and pointless. 2049 was visually stunning, but not necessary. Covered the same ground as the first movie.

>The style is very similar
no it is not
Blade Runner was film noir in a cyber punk setting. 2049 is neither noir or particularly cyber punk. There does not appear to be much cohesion in 2049. The world doesn't seem very lived in the way Blade Runner did.

also the music sucked compared to the original

>2049 is neither noir or particularly cyber punk
It literally is both of those you fucking retard.

Either way you shouldn't set yourself up for disappointment. I liked 2049 when I saw it, but I didn't really start to love it until it sat in me for a while.

All things considered, I'd say it was a decent sequel. It had big shoes to fill and didn't hit the Last Crusade, but hit the Temple of Doom.
I'm incredibly jaded about reboots (which is why I said that everyone expected dog shit), but all things considered it was alright. The biggest fail was the nostalgia baiting. It should have been a story independent of the old one.

Especially if it isn't a childhood memory (which it is it basically everything pre 2000).

>All things considered, I'd say it was a decent sequel
no, it wasn't
it was pandering tone-deaf simpleton baiting trash
devoid of heart, soul or any redeeming quality whatsoever

The sequel is not necessarily bad but it's boring and clinical. The incels on here love to self-insert as their beloved" goose" so they love it. However it's not as good as the original.

completely agree, well said

Sequel is too long and Ryan Gosling is too dry, OG Blade Runner was made by Rutger Hauer's performance.

I liked the idea of watching the scenario from a replicants perspective (which was before the imbecile Ridley decided that Deckard was a replicant).
Gosling did a good job, it just got too complicated since they wanted to tie it in with the sequel.

>the
So he got the quote wrong for all eternity. Some "fan."

I'm sure it wasn't meant to be verbatim but an homage

copying a movie quote verbatim for your own brothers funeral is a massive dick move, he put his own spin on it and made it personal.

Villeneuve originally wanted Bowie to play Wallace, but he died before he got the chance.

honestly a shame, would've made 2049 a much better movie.

>h-he did it wrong on purpose!
kek cope

tbf the original theatrical release is boring, it's amazing how much better the final cut is

literal, clinical autism, jesus christ.

>Will I love the sequel
nah. it's capeshit compared to original

2049 is on the same tier as the original imo though I do place the original slightly higher in my personal favourites ranking (BR Final Cut is my favourite movie ever)

2049 has better pacing and is more consistent thematically and plot-wise. It doesn't try to have its cake and eat it like Ridley Scott wanted to with the inclusion of the unicorn dream leaving the original with two conflicting themes: "Android love interest and android outlaw are ironically more human than the flesh and blood man and help him rediscover his humanity" VS "Android man is the product of cocky humans trying to play god and cheat nature and although he is set up to believe that he is a human he ends up rejecting human society anyway"

However, the original is better in terms of aesthetics and music. 2049's visuals are fine, just not nearly as iconic, and the soundtrack for 2049 leaves A LOT to be desired.

Both have pros in their own areas and cons in others. I'd say they are equals.

I suspect all this hate for 2049 is an effect similar to what's been happening with the Star wars prequels here. Just contrarian hipsters trying to rewrite history and defy the mainstream opinion (2049 was well received by Norman audiences even if they complained it was too long). EVERYBODY ate that movie up when it came out.

Happy that you're discovering two of my favourite movies for the first time OP. They're great on rewatch too. You'll find a lot of little details the next time you watch it.

idk what u want bruh I just didn't like 2049 much.
It's themes weren't as interesting and Ryan Gosling is boring and Jared Leto is Jared Leto.

Agree on Leto

I loved the movie but his scenes dragged pretty fucking bad. Character should have been cut entirely

Also I hate looking at that hack's face. Oooo look at me I'm a professional actor I walked around on set wearing opaque eye contacts because I'm a method actor

Fuck that guy and fuck that character

>honestly a shame, would've made 2049 a much better movie.
so slightly above irredeemable

jesus, he's just a handsome middling actor bro relax
why are br49 fags like this?

Surrender

I've seen the theatrical. It would've been good if it wasn't for Ford's lame voice over naration. He ain't bogie.

Dude just give up already.
2049 is excellent. Builds on the original without being its repetition. Strongly recommended.
How is it possible that every BR thread has to be infested by your samefagging sperging ass?
Give up.

>Give up.
make me faggot

I'm copying this down for the next time one of these threads comes around, I share the same sentiments.
