I don't understand why this movie is so highly rated.
Basic plot, flat characters, harrison ford's shitty acting, unrealistic behavior, half of the scenes take place in darkness
The futuristic setting isn't explored very much
The philosophical questions are very predictable
I wanted to like this movie but there's nothing special, so why do people talk about it?

>I wanted to like this movie
Why, did you owe this movie something?
i thought harrison ford was great
It seemed promising at first and I thought there'd be more to it so I had my hopes at
The 80's standard futuristic cyberpunk atmosphere was what stood out at the time. However, I can see why people dislike it. It hasn't aged well, and it's actually quite funny when you're supposed to be convinced this movie takes place what is actually the current year in 2019.
Beautiful visuals and and even better music. The cyberpunk setting wasn’t done to death back then and the philosophical questions still haven’t been answered.
Also BR2049 is superior as a movie
Comparing BR to BR2049 is like comparing 2001 to 2010
what do you mean? those few city shots?
>and the philosophical questions still haven’t been answered
have you read any science fiction book from the 60s?
>cyberpunk
it's not
>and it's actually quite funny when you're supposed to be convinced this movie takes place what is actually the current year in 2019
Well I don't expect it to be accurate but I can't even make the judgement because the movie barely shows the world
It's the foundation of the cyberpunk aesthetic
Next you'll be telling me RoboCop isn't cyberpunk
>harrison ford's shitty acting
he's fantastic, did you watch the version with narration or something?
2049 blew this movie out of the water
I watched both
he's a non-actor in almost every movie of his, in this one especially
>Robocop isn't cyberpunk
It's not
>Basic plot
stopped reading here
but it is
He's a charisma beacon in the Indy and Star Wars films, there's a reason every child of the 80's loved him. He emotes a lot less in Blade Runner, but that's because it's a completely different character. If you don't like Harrison Ford I have no choice but to believe you're a massive faggot.
I think you made a similar thread once, and it looks like you still don't get it.
You talk in big words like 'flat characters', 'unrealistic behaviour' and 'philosophical questions' but you do nothing more than scratching on the surface. You didn't think any further than what the movie made obvious.
If this thread is genuine and not some shitty bait you should watch it again, even though you should have understood it the first time
What do you think cyberpunk is?
he always plays himself
It's a shitty movie but it's famous for the atmosphere and even more so the music

>You talk in big words
how are those big words
then explain what is beyond the surface that makes this movie so special instead of doin whatever you're doign here
Because "nerd culture" came to dominate cinema criticism following the death of intellectualism in the 1970s, hence "nerd classics" such as this film, "Alien", "The Thing" etc. became memes.
why would I explain it? You have to find out yourself, anything else is pointless
what's 2010
>your opinion is bad and you should feel bad
>but I won't explain how or why that's the case :^)
you're the worst kind of poster
why should I take your opinion seriously into consideration if you're acting like this?
>It hasn't aged well, and it's actually quite funny when you're supposed to be convinced this movie takes place what is actually the current year in 2019.
it honestly doesn't feel that far off, a lot of countries feel like dark dystopian hellholes
Don't bother, OP. It's impossible to criticize this movie because it's fans are so defensive and butthurt when you point out flaws and have dozens of rationalizations for all of them. You're better off not getting involved.
>so why do people talk about it?
some people just have bad taste...
>better music
This was the biggest disappointment for me. This movie barely even has a soundtrack you fucking idiot. Point one track I'm supposed to listen to and be impressed by.
The "standard" atmosphere you're talking about was basically invented by Blade Runner; it was the very first cyberpunk film. As for it being "dated," I disagree. The special effects and sets still look excellent. Yes, it doesn't look like the current year, but EVERY sci-fi film about the future gets tons of stuff wrong. For instance, 2001: A Space Odyssey was totally wrong about 2001, but I never see anyone hold that against the film.
Fine, then can you give me an example?
If you say Johnny Mnemonic isn't cyberpunk I'm going to have to disregard you as a retard
sequel to 2009
This, aged like milk. Even the main plot is generic.
2001 a space odyssey has a sequel called 2010 the year of contact or something
LOOK AT IT
JESUS CHRIST EVEN IF EVERYTHING YOU SAID WAS TRUE THE VISUALS ALONE SHOULD BE ENOUGH FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE LIKE IT
>underrated
every teenage Yea Forumsedditor on this board jerks it off as the peak of cinema
This. The visuals were 10/10 in 1982 and are 10/10 to this day.
not 10/10
they're 10/10, it's one of the best looking movies of all time
them fitting your taste doesn't make it a 10/10
it's not my taste, it is an objective fact
Post 5 films that have 10/10 visuals.
you can't cherry pick to make your point on visuals
Unique atmosphere. Also i think it is interesting to explore the meaning of consiousness.
End titles
Fuck off bitch. Don't ever talk to me again.
It came out in 1982, it was revolutionary for its time
See:
in what way
It’s better than the vast majority of movies released in the last 20 years.
It was the first cyberpunk film.
At least I can completely disregard you now that you've confirmed yourself retarded, thanks
It’s highly rated because people find the idea of genetically engineered sex slaves to be subconsciously appealing
>subconsciously
It is absolutely stunning and still is one of the best looking sci fi films. The story is simple and perfectly told.
>The futuristic setting isn't explored very much
Which makes Roy's speech even more profound and sad. All that world and universe he saw, all those memories that Deckard (and the audience) could only dream of having, were designated unreal by the Blade Runner program because he wasn't human.
its pure cinema you pleb
go read a book
this is visual language at its peak
