Now that the dust has settled, which one is better?
Now that the dust has settled, which one is better?
2049 of course
yes
They are both shit. It's funny how incels will bitch about how vapid women are and only care about "muh feelings" yet they call this slop a masterclass with the same reasoning
2049 is the best film from the last 20 years
original is a masterkino. 2049 is a glib facsimile
The original ofc. 2049 is okay, but inferior in some aspects (like the scientist played by Jared Leto is just a generic bad guy while Tyrell was a genuinely interesting even if minor character).

weak bait but watch it gather 10+ replies from twittergroid tourists
Everything in the original is good except the romance between Deckard and Rachel. Nothing in 2049 is good except the romance between K and Joi.
I rewatched the original recently and I actually liked it significantly more than I remembered. It has so much soul and the production design is all really fantastic. Literally nothing feels like that movie, including 2049. After finishing it kinda reminded me of the importance of living and made excited to live. 2049 however makes me depressed and gross. It's such a sterile look to everything and the pacing is more like a Kubrick film than the original. It's still really good but leaves me feeling empty. If I had to choose which one to watch it'd be the original.
The original Scott film is a masterpiece that needed no sequel. That said, as far as sequels go i would say 2049 is pretty respectful on it´s approach. Villeneuve actually seems to have thought about how to organically build up over the established themes and cinematography.
For example, if we can agree that the original film questions human nature the next logical question once that is answered would be to question the nature of individuality, of who we are. 2049 asks that question so there is a thematic connection. Moreover where the original movie decided to take after classic noir and play with low key lighting to build it´s world and manage information 2049 takes the next natural step and uses color coding.
These kind of things give 2049 far more depth than your average modern sequel or reboot which, more often than not, have no problem being shallow flicks that trample over the original movies identities. That alone merits some respect these days.
2049 is really pretty good but the original is still an untouched master piece.
2049 could've been cut a little shorter. I just seen them as different movies, and both are good.
kino vs slop
what do you think?
original isnt slop though
Bladerunner then MY A.I. Blade Runner: 2 - Cold Fish movie.
The "sequel" was an awful story and terrible directed.
Considering 2049 is full of worthless memberberries calling back to the original, the original is obviously the best. It might be flashy, but it ironically lacks a soul.
Bruh.. I seen some shit
Vs Nabokov Pale Fire. Hmm much to think about.
Sorry you grew up in an era full of fake shit meant to wring you dry of cash and nothing else.
the sequel, no question
I watched both a long time ago. I preferred 2049, although I thought it was merely decent. I also watched an older version of the original, and apparently it was altered in later versions, so I can't comment on those. I'd also like to add, that I watched 2049 before I became le ebin inkwell, so maybe if I rewatched it these days, it would hit harder.
The original for me. I find that the dynamic between deckard and Roy is way more interesting than anything with k.
2049 is a 6/10. It's overrated by the literally me crowd but it's a functional sci fi detective mystery. The original, outside of the visuals and soundtrack, blows. It's boring, ponderous, juvenile, and filled with terrible action and dialogue.
OG appeals to me more. Street atmosphere is like no other. Sequel was too sterile and different, and also a couple of casting choices I didn't like (robin wright whore and worst joker). However, it's clearly a passion project story because of the tight plot and how both options can work without Ridley spelling it out, either with Deckard being a replicant, or him being human and making a child with replicant Rachel; both can be considered 'a miracle'. I value this aspect the most in the sequel.
Sequel movies after like 2010 think they need three fuckin story lines in each. If you chopped android revolution and maybe Deckard entirely (definitely cut the callback literal audio clips etc), maybe you could whittle 2049 down to the original's notability. Remember, the original had to be revised twice before it was good.
As released it's good but has a bit of a Last Jedi type over-plotting problem. Plots are fucking gay ok
Villeneuve actually seems to have thought about how to organically build up over the established themes
Yes too much 'thought', and not enough young-ridley-scott-style "fuck it!" can leave your film sterile. Denis is the main guy doing this
2049 explains the world and stakes in the first 10 minutes much more effectively
in a future where the land is bar remand maggots are farmed
I'm a skilled slave catcher
but also a slave
people hate me and I will die if I ever slip up
I watched all of the original and never connected with anything in the screen
*barren
Goddamn software keyboards
You are right. Original is still a better movie though.
The Scott film has a better script, cast, visuals, set design, costumes, music, themes, pacing
I'm sorry but you're artistically deficient if you think the Villeneuve movie is better
also, the Lynch version of Dune is better than Villenueve's attempt
Villeneuve is the best director of our times though
truth
Sorry I'm just not impressed by the scene where a retarded meathead mumbles some nonsense about a miracle baby like its a Star Wars movie or something.
lol nah even Nolan is better
out of curiosity I looked at the letterboxd reviews for Brade Runnah. 3 out of 3 of the most-liked reviews were nothing more than "what is the plot????"
audiences can no longer even comprehend movies that lack marvel-tier exposition.
I feel this is leagues worse than people "not being able to read books anymore"
a lot of reviews are also troons complaining it's misogynist for some reason
oh my God.
