Just watched it. Was very satisfying. I'm still processing it, but I thought it was awesome.

I haven't watched it yet but the reviews saying it was slow must not have watched the first one. The first is a great movie but people expecting non stop action would be disappointed.

Yeah, those people should just catch the next Fast and the Furious movie. In the meantime I think Nickleback is touring again.**
Lol.

Some people can't appreciate an actual story that builds. Not everything needs to blow up every 10 minutes. Our attention span is for 10 minute intervals now, it is hard for people to actually pay attention for 2 hours. Fast & the Furious or the Transformers are crap movies. They are just cool to watch the special affects or stunts but as far as an actual plot, there isn't much there. Transformers seems like they write the script as they go to match whatever Michael Bay wants to blow up. Ok, getting off my soapbox now.

Well said, and totally agree. Just think if a film like The Godfather was released today, how would it be received? And Blade Runner 2049 is a great example of that phenomenon in today's cinema culture: it's being overwhelmingly praised by reviewers, yet it is bombing at the box office because people don't want to be challenged to think when going to the movies.

Chris Nolan is about the only guy that somehow makes movies that are great at the box office and seem to also make you think. You can watch his movies several times and still come away with something new.

Nolan definitely has the star power other directors don't. Denis Villeneuve is one of the best directors working today. Obviously 2049 will give him some recognition; I hope he gets at least nominated for best director. It's deserved.
He was nominated for Arrival, which also was amazing. Sicario was nominated for best picture, and his films Enemy and Prisoners were ****ing great, too.
