Just got out of Blade Runner 2049. I really couldn't say if it was good or not. It was very Blade Runner. It was stunning looking. It was certainly art. I think if you're into Blade Runner you will probably like it, maybe love it. If, like me, you are in-different towards Blade Runner, you probably won't know what to think about it.
Went to Winchester last night with my buddy. This thing got some horrible reviews but when it was over I don't understand why. It's a decent ghost story. Maybe my expectations were so completely low dog food would have seemed entertaining. Maybe people get bored when there aren't explosions every two minutes or someone getting decapitated. It's probably not something I'd buy for my collection but if someone wanted to watch it I wouldn't mind it.

Maybe I need to watch it again.Last edited by Sock Monkey; 02-14-2018, 09:33 PM.

The Cloverfield Paradox: After hearing the rather dismal reviews the newest installment in the Cloverfield series has received, my expectations were pretty low. In fact, I was pretty much expecting to see a train wreck of a film when I sat down this morning. The film is pretty flawed, but it isn't the unmitigated disaster that most reviews make it out to be. It's merely a mediocre film that REALLY needed another draft to eliminate some of the plain stupid plot holes and work on a little more character development. One of the film's biggest flaws is that it gives you the reason for the mystery from the get-go, eliminating any suspense because the viewer already knows what's going on, leaving the cast of characters to play catch-up. The actors do the best the can with what they got and some of the set pieces are kinda fun, but it all feels rather inconsequential and uninspired. Grade: D+

Originally posted by Sock Monkey View PostI just sat down to watch this yesterday. I really liked Blade Runner 2049 and felt that it felt true to the original while not being hampered by it. Granted, I have watched the original since I saw The Final Cut five, six years back. 2049 doesn't feel as cutting edge since we've seen the Blade Runner aesthetic down to death since the original, but I thought this movie had more heart compared to the original which always felt rather detached emotionally. Overall, I'd give 2049 an A-, keeping Denis Villenueve's streak alive for me.

Originally posted by Dan Hocker View Post2049 is one of those movies that I think you either love or you're just "meh" on. I don't think I've seen anyone who hates it. For me it took me awhile to process my feelings on the movie. At the end of the day I think I fell on the "love" side of the line. Which is kinda surprising, because I don't particularly care one way or the other about the original. Mostly though it was just beautiful to look at and I honestly didn't see the twist coming.

Originally posted by Dan Hocker View PostHmm interesting. Like I said I only saw the first trailer, so maybe the other trailers / tv spots where what made people think it was an action / sci-fi movie. Then again I think Paramount did a terrible job of marketing the movie. Basically very few people even seemed to know it existed (as evidenced by the box office).

I'm positive I'll like it. Just need to find the time to actually go and see it. Maybe this weekend. I've heard it compared to Arrival, which I really loved, so I'm all about that.CD Email: [email protected]
