New one is well worth a watch. Instead of remake, Villenue went with continuation of the story

And masterfully. Was a huge fan of the original, like all the different cuts, etc. I had trouble admitting I thought 2049 was even better but ¯_(ツ)_/¯. Also Bautista was a very welcome surprise getting back to post topic.

And I don't have trouble admitting I liked 2049 more than BR. What a film!

Saw it 3 times in theaters. By the second viewing I kind of made up my mind it was.

I would love to have seen it on the big screen. Unfortunately, I somehow slept on it initially

Always glad to see this thing being brought up whenever the subject is Bautista in Blade Runner. 👌

The movie is just....sad

The scenes are beautiful...the message is a strong and independent on, but it's just soo much

I have to mentally prepare myself to rewatch it while knowing the ending.

There's an anime short series that covers the gap between the two movies, like how all the replicant production records were lost when K goes to search for them

Thanks for heads up. I wasn’t aware of this, now I will have something to look forward to
