Just saw it on Netflix for the first time and loved it. It was amazing. Absolute Sci-fi masterpiece.
>B-BUT IT'S TOO LONG AND NOTHING HAPPENS! 2 hours 40 minutes wasn't enough. I could have happily watched 4 hours of this. Luv is best girl. Joi is literally soulless.
It was the movie of a decade and maybe even a century
Brody Kelly
It's on Netflix? I know what I'm going tonight, haven't seen it yet
Wyatt Allen
wow what a total patrician and such a discerning viewer!!
Brayden Parker
Ironic shitposting is still shitposting.
Kayden Howard
Amen desu.
Not only was it possibly the best science fiction movie, it certainly is the best sequel ever made.
It took all the interesting things from the first movie (replicant - human jealousy / identity crisis), and then took them in a totally interesting new direction.
Jayden Young
No it isn't, retard. Stop repeating whatever you read.
Carter Brooks
It's dragged down by its forced ties to the mediocre original.
Cooper Cooper
You're dragged down by your immense faggotry, cunt.
Luke Edwards
How new are you? That has been a saying here for YEARS.
I saw it yesterday and it was total shit. It was so slow because they had to spend minutes showing K walking around and "muh beautiful kinotography".
Plot was shit too. So basically he thought he was special but then he found out he actually wasn't and then died. Woah so based. Also Leto trying to play the ebin god complex man talking about angels was just cringey. Literally only reddit likes that
It's decent bait because it's convincing. 8/10 enjoy your (You)s.
Benjamin Butler
No really I thought it was boring. It's brainlet tier too. Literally only reddit enjoys that movie. >OHMYGOSH LIKE IF YOU'RE NOT SPECIAL YOU CAN JUST KEK YOURSELF AND DIE FOR SOME OLD BOOMER AND A ROASTIE
Alexander Foster
>(You)ing your own shitpost whew lad
Carter Martin
Fuck you dumb faggot CUNTS. This is kino of the absolute highest quality.
You're weak and full of cheap attempts at baiting. It's pathetic man. At least get creative with your craft.
Angel Ward
>DUDE WALLACE IS SO DEEP MAN. HE KILLS HIS OWN ANGEL (GET IT BECAUSE IT'S LIKE CHRISTIANITY EVEN THOUGH I HATE RELIGION) BECAUSE HE THINKS HE'S LIKE GOD DUDE SO DEEP. DUDE I FUCKING LOVE THE CINEMATOGRAPHY >DUDE IT'S SO DEEP BECAUSE K THINKS HE'S SPECIAL BUT HE"S LIKE ACTUALLY NOT SO HE KEKS HIMSELF FOR SOME OLD BOOMER. BASED!
Woah so the moral of the story is...be yourself and try your best
WOAH MINDBLOWING
BONE
CHILLING
Colton Russell
You can edit on here?
Elijah Green
>on Netflix Don't do that.
With a crappy Netflix encode the ad giant JOI just looks like a whatever holo projection, while in 4K she looks like a literal moving mesh of lit up diodes.
Well if it wasn't in this state then you'd still be on Yea Forums or whatever board you crawled out of some time after 2013
Daniel Watson
No, no it's not. Read again.
Jacob Robinson
I like it because hes just like me
Colton Walker
if K just went with the "be yourself" meme he would only forever remain a corporate emotionless slave
you literally can't comprehend even the most simple narrative possible my dear soiphoneposting tranny friend
Ryder Smith
It insists upon itself
Elijah Brooks
Read some C.S Lewis and Kierkegaard instead of watching some reddit movie
Daniel Scott
To add on this it recycles concepts from Her, Ex Machina, Snowpiercer etc... why take from such recent popular stuff?
Dominic Anderson
>projection Never been to Yea Forums, or /vg/, or /vr/, but you seem to know a lot about them, hmmmm.
Austin Martin
Looked pretty good on my TV.
50" 4K HDR Yeah yeah, I know it streaming in native 4k, but I sit like 5ft away from my TV. It looked incredible even in 1080p.
Gavin James
To be fair Yea Forums is the best board on this fucking site.
Lucas Moore
>Her It's funny how BR2049 made a ten times more genuinely emotionally investing romantic story in just a side story of the film compared to Her where that's the entire film.
For most people the actual physical "love" part falls apart completely in Her, especially in any scene where the love part wants to be materialised (the prostitute sex scene, that sex scene where Joaquin just lays and talks to her) which come off as extremely cheesy and "quirky" which in result end up falling completely flat. Funny how there is the exact same concept of the threesome between an AI, a prostitute and a man in Her and literally no one ever talks about it because the execution of the scene is like any standard rom com flick, the AI part is completely secondary. Not to mention that in Her the prostitute is entirely meaningless in the act itself, while in BR2049 all it's a very character involving scene for all three characters, not just literally but in narrative terms also. It's a physical manifestation of K's character development.
In short, Spike Jonze didn't know how to approach the concept of a man falling in love with a computer in a serious way so he had to make it extremely quirky to have an excuse for most scenes, while in BR2049 it's executed completely direct and tasteful with zero pretense at all.
Also the core script of BR2049 and the "concepts" with it were already made far before any of those flicks were even released.
The relationship between K and Joi is garbage. It's even worse when the film reveals to you just how artificial Joi really is. At the end of the scene depicted in your image you're taken through the cityscape to reveal an ad for Joi which says "Anything you want to see. Anything you want to hear". You're being outright TOLD the relationship between them is utter nonsense. Joi isn't real. She's a bunch of 1s and 0s, which she herself says.
She didn't love him because she didn't feel anything. It's said, multiple times throughout the film. The A.I isn't capable of it.
Matthew Edwards
>In short, Spike Jonze didn't know how to approach the concept of a man falling in love with a computer in a serious way so he had to make it extremely quirky to have an excuse for most scenes That was a smart way to handle it, yes. When K stares at the hologram he just comes across like a dumbass because he should know it's a fake hologram.
Anthony Cruz
>She didn't love him because she didn't feel anything. It's said, multiple times throughout the film. The A.I isn't capable of it. All factually wrong. She is programmed to do what the owner wants her to do, and K wants to be genuinely loved. Joi was a physical extension of K's character development. What K yearned for, she expressed.
Yes at the start his Joi was a blank slate just like that giant ad, but through all their interactions and K's genuine "I'm special" beliefs (which he doesn't have anymore at the bridge scene) his Joi became special, unique and "real" to him specifically, seeing that entire scene as a mirror of Deckard meeting the fake Rachael, which is most evident by the completely black eyes of the giant Joi, where K could've easily had the same exact "I know what's real" line like Deckard did with the fake Rachael there. K wanted her to become like a real girl that really loves him and she slowly did so (as she is programmed to do), so where is the difference once she becomes the thing he desires?
>The A.I isn't capable of it. Or is it? The film isn't telling you anything, it's asking the question.
Liam Price
>it's a fake hologram. What? What is then a real hologram?
Joshua Bailey
Agree, still great though
Zachary Powell
Joi specifically says she's made of two digits (1s and 0s). She's an A.I.
Connor Cox
>What is then a real hologram? It's what's in your pants.
Jayden Sanders
Yes, and?
Christopher King
Are you still in highschool? Take your time, think about it again and you might see what you missed, if you're lucky.
Ian Williams
>She is programmed to do what the owner wants her to do, and K wants to be genuinely loved. Wasn't this done in Ex Machina also? The main white knight beta character gets fucked over by a robot except it's written in a more convincing way.
Angel Turner
Denis is rolling in his grave hearing people speculate about whether the AI was alive or not. BTFO waifus is the only original thing he brought to this film.
Gavin Torres
Are you fucking stupid? 1 and 0 is a binary language. Everything you look at on your COMPUTAH is in binary.
Nathan Williams
In what way does Joi "fuck over" K? The very last words as she dies in panic is claiming how she loves him, the polar opposite of what happens in Ex Machina.
James Torres
I said for you to take your time, you obviously didn't. If you don't take your studies seriously you're in grave danger of failing this class and then you can kiss goodbye to getting into a "good" college.

Joseph Collins
>Wasn't this done in Ex Machina also? No. Ava was never programmed to love Caleb, Caleb was chosen precisely because Ava was his "type". You should stick to Chinese cartoons.
Jaxson Collins

She's an artificial intelligence. She's no different from what you're looking at right now. Broken down into binary form everything you're seeing here, from the words you're reading now, to the images in the catalog; is all just a series of two numbers.
Do you you understand this? Because you sound fucking stupid.
Gabriel Watson
>She's an artificial intelligence. She's no different from what you're looking at right now. Broken down into binary form everything you're seeing here, from the words you're reading now, to the images in the catalog; is all just a series of two numbers. Yes, and what is your point? Maybe I'm also just an AI bot writing this reply to you right now aswell, what then?
James Richardson
See me after class, Jenkins. I'm not wasting any more time on you.
Xavier Cox
I meant the part where he falls in love with the A.I. is more convincing
Elijah Young
>more convincing I disagree, I think it's exactly what you highlighted, white knighting. More to the point, what we're discussing is an AI genuinely feeling love, not a beta meatbag. Showing beta meatbags feeling love is easy to do, not so with an AI.
Ethan Ramirez
Read a book nigger. Your reddit film is not deep or particularly interesting. Also, as a film it's boring and not even fun to watch. I much rather sit down to some Bay kino like Transformers 3 or maybe watch an episode of Spartacus or maybe watch the new baywatch film
Why are you fighting me on this? You know I'm right.
Ayden Mitchell
I am asking what is your point.
Brody Price
*In what country is it on Netflix?
Cooper Jenkins
just switch tabs to the capeshit thread already
Landon Reyes
Did anyone else think the voice overs reminding the audience of plot points were unnecessary? Its trying to be a smart and thougtful movie but it wont even stop holding the audiences hand. Just like Arrival too actually. But yeah it was a nice movie
Joshua Reed
>what we're discussing is an AI genuinely feeling love Can you give me an example of 2049 showing this convincingly? I don't even think that kind of thing is realistically possible.
Do you think you're an artificial intelligence or an organic one? >I DON'T KNOW LOL
Yes you do. Now fuck off.
Levi Ortiz
How isn't it possible? A mother is also programmed to love her child. It's not some magic untangible voodoo shit
Isaac Stewart
The ending was amazing
Tyler Howard
The most basic of "what if you're actually living in a simulation" meme already ends your argument.
Kevin Mitchell
Because it's an A.I., it doesn't have a consciousness but it could probably fool you it does.
Dylan Martinez
Yeah those two or three audio flashbacks were unnecessary, but luckily they are just about 45 seconds of a nearly 3 hour long film so it didn't hurt it that much.
Ryder Morales
seriously though it's the most redd.it movie i've watched and this board loves it haha
Andrew Morales
Where do you live?
Ryder Torres
And where is the difference once it manages to fool you? Why do you think Deckard doesn't give a fuck about is his dog actually "real" or not?
Isaac Ross
Are you?
Luke Gray
Currently I'm living living in your head rent free.
Owen Flores
The whole "K fucking a prostitute" thing. This is something suggested by Joi. If Joi was simply following a program to make K happy she would never follow this risky gambit, the outcome is too incalculable. The whole point of a program to make someone happy is to never fail at doing this, voluntarily rolling the dice with an unknown outcome is a no no. This was an act of love and need, as much her own as K's.
Colton Campbell
Is this wojack faggot the same as the faggot posting about atmospheric horror? You're a fucking loser with no real friends or a girlfriend to give you hugs and kisses.
>ATOMSPHERIC HORROR >OMGOMGOMG I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE LIGHTHOUSE MOVIE! IT'S TOTES LOVECRAAAAAAAAAAAAAFT >DIRECTED BY THE DIRECTOR OF THE VVITCH WOAH BASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSED
>I just really like the premise/conceit of the movie so I just handwave all of its blantant flaws and expose myself as someone who can’t form an opinion worth respecting!
Op is cringe
Isaac Butler
Unironically read these books and watch BR2049 again.
I still feel I missed out not seeing it in theaters but I'm was too much of a social anxiety neet to bother
Camden Stewart
>I still feel I missed out not seeing it in theaters Wish I could sugar coat it for you but you missed out big time
Ethan Ross
Ex Machina was hyped way too much, that's a bs story anyways. With Joi, there's an ambiguity about if the A.I. loves K or not, you don't have that in Ex Machina.
Aiden Sullivan
kek notice how just because something is sci-fi netflix recommends you shit like nuwars and cloverfield
>story comes first Seriously nothing wrong with that. Doesn’t have to always be the case but there’s nothing wrong with that at all. >descriptive vs dreams Dreaming is kind of better, but I don’t think there the change in style of 2049 is a fault. >derivative and familiar No. Not enough to be a glaring problem and certainly nothing like most of the shit you see in theaters today. >kitsch; often tawdry Not at all. Posturing hard here. >familiar imagery/boring Sounds like the complaint of a retarded contrarian child while also being untrue. Anything that looked like the previous Blade Runner, and there were a few things of course, come as an homage. >narrative dependent Holy shit stop repeating yourself to make a longer list you retard, this shit doesn’t fly outside of high school and undergrad which is like high school 2.0 >safety/clarity/forced Moreso than the original Blade Runner. I can understand that. Still nothing was done in an overtly bad way regarding these things in 2049. >left/right brain Both right brain >REPETITIVE SHIT TO FILL SPACE MORON >REPETIVE SHIT >Looks like work No. Not in the slightest. >Done for money Holy shit no dude holy fuck, you think the average person even gives a shit about something as commonly regarded as blade runner, wrong. Audiences are literally less receptive than ever to anything like this. The people who made 2049 wanted to. >understood vs challenging and memorable Both are very memorable, but yes the original Blade Runner is a little more challenging >detail Your whole fucking argument and even the inclusion of it is retarded >technical argument Fucking retarded. They really are hardly different here.
