Aren't the replicants or whatever more like biologically engineered humans, rather than robots? The entire point of the movie is: what is human? Tyrell Corporation's motto is, "More Human, than human." When Deckard shoots the replicant stripper and she screams and thrashes you actually feel more for her death than when Rutger Hauer kills Tyrell. Deckard the Blade Runner runs off with a replicant. They aren't mechanical robots. |

This movie may raise more questions than it answers. When is a being considered human? If replicants breed are their offspring considered human after so many generations? Are original humans now Gods and what are our responsibilities to our creations?

Being a life long Blade Runner fan all I can say is, I hope this isn't just another empty nostalgia driven movie. I'll bet anything they kill off Deckard and Gosling's character is the one to do it. Those "I wanna ask you some questions" thing makes me think Deckard might get the voight kampff test. I only say this because Ridley Scott decided to make him a replicant to sell the Director's Cut. Everything looks way to "clean" as well. IDK yet....I just don't know about this one. I can hope, but being skeptical might make me pleasantly surprised.

I can't tell if this is a remake, a sequel, or one of the modern remake/sequel hybrid. If it's that, even if it looks good I don't think I'll watch. I'm so tired of recycled ideas. I understand all great stories are retellings of old ideas/plots, but I don't want to watch another Force Awakens/terminator and be disappointed. You'all can have your flashy graphics designed to woo the masses. |

Los Angeles Chinatown is all but gone now [same for Japantown which is only 1 block now] so that feature of the film is a bit off despite the number of Chinese living in California being double what it was in the 1980s, they all moved to the suburbs of Irvine in Orange County. The Japanese have all but vanished in California

One of my favorite SciFi movies. I enjoy synth/electronic music and thought the original soundtrack was perfect to set the mood of the film. I'm divided on a sequel. Hollywood normally takes a crap when they do a sequel or remake of a popular classic. One of my biggest pet peeves is when they don't carry over original actors. I totally get that it isn't always possible... so was very happy to see that Ford is playing Deckard. Would have been turned off to the whole thing if that hadn't happened. Very high hopes with very low expectations.
We'll see. Trailer looks good. |

My guess is they are going to use the "Final Cut" as canon and Rachel is long dead (having hit her four year life span, plus Sean Young is apparently on record saying she isn't in the movie at all and nobody returned her calls... and not just because she has a rep for being bat shit crazy now), Deckard is hiding in some wasteland as a wanted man most likely (because he can't show his face back in society otherwise he'd be arrested), Deckard is human (because his original story doesn't work if he is a replicant), and Ryan Gosling's character is brand new and in no way related to Deckard... but follows a storyline very similar to Deckard's.
My thinking is that the story will be something of a remake but continue elements of the old story ala Force Awakens. Gosling will be a new Blade Runner tasked with hunting down another group of renegade replicants, one of which will be a new Tyrell prototype (the brunette, made by a "new" Tyrell played by Leto). He will follow a similar path as Deckard (falling in love with the prototype as he hunts the others), but in the process he will learn about the story and whereabouts of Deckard and Rachel (possibly from Gaff) and how they disappeared 30 years ago. This will give him some sort of drive to find them to see if they actually did escape and live "happily ever after" (giving him hope he can do the same). In the process there will be some story development that makes Gosling's character question his own humanity, and we eventually discover at the end that he himself is a prototype replicant built to hunt down other replicants (finally bowing to the whole "Decard is a replicant" thing, but without damaging the original film's plot). |

I dont have high hopes, Ryan Gosling sucks, except when he's playing a semi autistic driver. And the bit about him being "special" didn't inspire confidence... unless he's playing a semi autistic driver in this, too. But who knows, maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised. I doubt it, but stranger things have happened.

They aren't mechanical robots. A replicant is a fictional bioengineered or biorobotic android in the 1982 film Blade Runner and its upcoming sequel Blade Runner 2049. The Nexus series of replicants are virtually identical to an adult human, but have superior strength, agility, and variable intelligence depending on the model. Because of their similarity to humans, a replicant can only be detected by means of the fictional Voight-Kampff test, in which emotional responses are provoked; replicants' responses differ from humans' responses. Nexus 6 replicants also have a safety mechanism, namely a four-year lifespan, to prevent them from developing empathic cognition and therefore immunity to a Voight-Kampff machine. A derogatory term for a replicant is "skin-job." |
