When I left this theater I immediately thought: “That was my most satisfying theater experience ever”

[@sameehkins5957]

Cool little detail. When K comes into the apartment and you hear Joi for the first time, she says she's getting "cabin fever". Basically subliminal advertisements to K to purchase the eminator (which he already bought). Clearly JOI as a product is working effectively for the company owning it. I love how the movie sets up a whole detailed world just with a fee lines like that. Like you could really believe a product like that being sold and have an idea of what kind of impact that would have on society all just from watching the movie.

Saw this in IMAX. It was absolutely life changing on imax.

[@johnbernhardtsen3008]

lucky u! saw it on the biggest screen in my area, not in Imax though, my jaw hit the floor when Kay held Luv underwater since I love good cinematography and the framing was so amazing!So nice of the Academy Awards finally give Roger Deakins an award for this!

[@benhs1898]

@@johnbernhardtsen3008 just a shame there weren’t more wins for this film. Then again, the academy is a joke.

[@CollideFan1]

First movie I saw in IMAX. Perfection

[@HellionRex]

Same. It was a pleasant reminder of what good cinema is suposed to feel like.

[@mogg34y]

Masterpiece. The Beauty of this film its an extention of the first film. Not just a random pop corn sequel. The opening sequence on the farm was originally sketched in 1980 for Blade Runner. Deckard had a hat in the sketches. Ridley Scott and Producer Micheal Deeley met Harrison Ford in London 1980. He came straight off the Radiers The Lost Ark set costume hat everything. When they saw the hat they both went oh shit 😂

[@Algoraphobic]

Some, like myself, assume that replicants are some kind of android, but they’re literally 100% biological. They’re basically people that have been “born” fully grown, which is why they’re not seen as human. The issue is that, like Joy, even if they become self aware, it’s entirely possible that they’re MADE to do so.

[@calvintyler9281]

The real life word would be "synth" or "synthezoid" as In synthetic human. Android implies a proper ai with a metal body no flesh bone, nothing that's even remotely organic. Is there really a difference between chemicals and code?

[@danielskinner5346]

Is Joi sentient, are replicants human, or is that dog artificial? The answer to all three is it doesn't matter. K loved Joi, K was capable of love, and the dog provided Deckard with companionship.❤

[@alexserbelfit]

This movie is a masterpiece

[@guilhermeatreides5343]

Nah, its a masterpiece

[@Dysanagnosiaa]

@@spanishprisonerno one asked

[@genecoo3710]

It is. And @spanishprisoner a masterpiece doesn’t mean it has to be flawless.

[@travisfoster1071]

It's a travesty compared with the original.

[@Evil_Peter]

@@spanishprisoner You sound funny when you try to be elitist and talk about having seen a lot of movies, yet talks like you don't even understand the concepts of objectivity and subjectivity.

[@moviescenes6838]

This movie is a Flawless Masterpiece! It's also better than the original film for me, I can re-watch this film all the time and never get bored of it, so much detail went into this film, the cinematography by Roger Deakins is sublime! Nobody does it like he does. The direction, acting, production design, visual effects, sound, story, writing and everything else is just perfection! This is cinema, this is how you make a good film but also make one of the best sequels ever made! It's up there with Aliens, Terminator 2, The Godfather Part 2, The Dark Knight, Die Hard with a Vengeance, The Good the bad and the ugly, Toy Story 3, The Raid 2 and Paddington 2. There is not many sequels that live up to the original film, but these are some that came up to my mind and the sequels that stuck with me, the ones that I can remember instantly because of how good they were!

[@GreyMagee74]

This is my favorite movie of all time, it's what cemented Denis as an S tier director!

[@oskarfjortoft]

Fun fact: this is in the same cinematic universe as the Alien, and the Predator franchises.

[@tobiaslundqvist.71]

You mean Earth... In the future? 😂😅

[@oskarfjortoft]

@@tobiaslundqvist.71 no. I mean that the original blade runner was made by Ridley Scott, who also made the alien franchise. Even tho the two movies are from different studios, Ridley snuck inn a few tidbits linking the two series together. F.eks. Captain Dallas from Aliens(1986) had ‘Tyrell corporation’ listed as a previous employer in his personell file. That is the company that manufactures the synthetics in the blade runner series. And also an extra from the Prometheus (2012) Blu-ray, there was a note from Peter Weyland about how the Tyrell corporation collapsed because the ceo was unoriginal and tried to ‘copy god’

[@CharlieOscarDeuce]

Don’t forget about the Kurt Russell movie “Soldier” is also part of the same universe. It makes mention of the Battle of Tannhauser Gate which Roy fought in.

[@crispy_338]

Maples nails are wild 😂

[@ShiftyWolf117]

I've been waiting for this since you uploaded the reaction to the first one. As much as I love the first one, this one is a such masterpiece, visually it's stunning and the story is perfect. I wish I got to see it in cinemas when it released.

[@IsdudeMe]

The best cinema-going experience I’ve ever had, was incredible seeing and hearing this in a theatre

[@puppetmaster8551]

This movie Fuckin rules, all time great sci fi movie and one of the best sequels ever

[@woeshaling6421]

when i left my old job at an arthouse theater, this was my choice as my farewell screening. BR 2049 is tied with Amelie as my favorite movie of all time

[@CollideFan1]

This movie is near perfection, a masterpiece. I love movies that make you think. There's no mindless violence like you find in superhero movies, violence only used when its needed. Movies like this make you think about the questions it presents to the viewers hours and days after you watch the movie. The soundtrack is perfection, it was awesome in IMAX

[@robdilauro4344]

Denis's cinematographer was Roger Deakins who is the absolute greatest in his craft. I'm certain you're aware of his work.

[@hettbeans]

Watched this on a 6 story IMAX screen high as a kite. Denis Villeneuve is a visual genius.

[@jamezmcc]

Ryan Gosling is so so good in this. Denis Villeneuve just doesnt miss.

[@markchapman5811]

If you want to find out why Wallace got eyes like that, watch Blade Runner: Black Lotus. It’s a prequel anime for this movie.

[@cedarandsound]

I saw this in IMAX about 5 times when it came out.

[@imthewolf1]

The protein farmer is Dax from Guardians of the Galaxy

[@wewhofly]

I believe that opening, or something very similar (the foggy location with the dead tree) was storyboarded for the opening of the original but not used. I remember seeing the drawings for the proposal somewhere.

[@rcpaskus83]

I too have been waiting for this since you posted the reaction to the original. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@planeguy95]

When the eye opens at the start, you know shit’s about to get real

[@nigeltrotter2886]

13:10-Loved this guy's robotic, "Mr Above it All" character. How he talks down to everyone. 15:09- You jealous. You make angels, but he topped you with Rachel and you can't top that.

[@pastormolez8235]

Would recommend the short film involving Dave Batista's character

[@MZ-bl6wg]

One of my favorite Cinematic experiences of my life was seeing this movie for the first time. One of the others is “Arrival” ANOTHER from this amazing director .

[@aSSGoblin1488]

everybody wants to be special... but none of us are. when K finally meets the memory shaper. wow.

[@WadeWallenstein]

I've never been able to see the original Blade Runner in a theater so when this released I had to see it. It was such an experience!

[@kevincucumber1118]

Such an underrated piece of art. Prob my fav movie of all time

[@davidwilson3568]

omg maple your face, you look so sad when dave b got retired. omg girl those nails!!!! fierce

[@nigeltrotter2886]

9:07- It is possible. Tyrell is the man and Niander knows he won't be able to be on that level. He'll never be Tyrell, because of this.

[@kingboolkoo]

My favorite part he picked the guy up and did the back beaker 😮

[@BenKIKON99]

I love and enjoyed your reaction to this awesome movie. It was honest, genuine and you spoke and gave your views always at the right time. Love you. And oh One more thing, I love your nails. It's gorgeous❤

[@vishalvenkat6]

One of my favorite movies of all time.

[@SRXT09]

0:45....not many of us did Maple, not many. 😂

[@kneelread]

friendly request to Chad to put the "Part 1" etc on the left side of the thumbnail so the runtime doesnt cover it

[@Diegesis]

I see what you mean but the parts are also in the title and the images in the thumbnail are from an early moment and a late moment so it shouldnt be impenetrable

[@crigarsha]

The most interesting thing i learned from this reaction was that Maple does not call in missile strikes while she is getting her nails done. Or does she!?!? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@offworld_coop]

A gem fr, there's a pretty dope anime prequel as well.

[@odorousobject8165]

Yo them claws on point

[@ZelindaMarildaTacluyan-wz6vj]

This movie never gets old

[@crazychase98]

One of the few movies that surpasses the original

[@nigeltrotter2886]

9:54- Aye Coke is still a thing. Much better than Demolition Man, where everything is Taco Bell because of the Franchise Wars.

[@rosskl]

After watching this movie, I knew that Dune was in very good hands.

[@willwhite6110]

best opening ever.

[@Jolar70]

It's just not a masterpiece, but it had a proper amount of distance in time from the original. I thought everything with the original cast was the weakest part (fan service, etc.), but, truly, Jared Leto, as a Bond villain, was really the weakest part(!). All the other actors were great. I personally think Robin Wright should have been the main Blade Runner because she was SO cool as the police captain, and Sylvia Hoeks, was brilliant as the most terrifying assassin in the movie. It was a very strong successor to the first film. Also Deckard's locked-in daughter was a surprise, and felt most like the original book, to me.

[@wilder11]

I was so pleased that this film was at least attempting to follow in the first one's footsteps, and didn't resort to cheap storytelling tropes. Just like the original, the visuals and the soundtrack are incredible. And while I can understand how someone like Wallace would inflate his own identity to godlike proportions...I always cringe at Jared Leto's performance. XD

[@stefanforrer2573]

yeah, leto and his performance are probably the only two things i don't like about this movie

[@iamrashid850]

good thing he didn't do the batista bomb on ryan lol

[@HerbSparks]

I think you described the birthing process at 13:00 without knowing it.

[@j9lorna]

A lot of people, girls especially are disturbed by the 3 some scene, but i honestly think it is beautiful, and a bit tear jerking.

[@heli1256]

😎

[@GFS695]

Hate that this didnt do well in the box office, its a shame because its a classic, not sure of there will be another bladerunner.

[@maxducoudray]

Let’s fucking goooooo!
