It was way too long. Every scene dragged out for no reason. Just actors staring. It has its moments. It's worth the $5 but I'm not seeing this groundbreaking special movie some people are saying they saw.

That's exactly what I thought. No need for 3 hours. For example, the scene where he first enters the old Vegas casino, there's a scene of him slowly walking through a dark cluttered area. He's approaching the camera. I swear it takes a full 2 minutes, him just slowly walking though this area. I stick to my time-honored belief: the original "Star Wars" was almost exactly 2 hours long. If you can tell that story in 2 hours, you can tell any story in 2 hours. Shit, I remember when "Gandhi" came out in the theaters, they had to put an intermission in it because people weren't used to 3 hour movies. Now, thanks mostly to Peter Jackson and his 153 hours of "LOTR", people think 3 hours is a perfectly reasonable length of time for a movie.

People are being indoctrinated into thinking terrible, shallow movies set the standard...and when they see something that challenges them, they gravitate back to what they are conditioned to and compare.
I thought is was the first "real" movie I've seen in over a decade...reminded me of when going to the theater meant something. It wasn't perfect...but I still remember the vibe in the theater during Full Metal Jacket and the private's suicide. The tension in the room was real..the energy. This wasn't close to that level...but gave me hope. Last edited by BlackOp; 10-27-2017 at 01:48 AM.. |

...and it's gone from my local theater. But we now have "Saw part VIII" and "Boo 2! A Madea Halloween.'' Awesome!
Much like with their politicians, Americans get the movies they deserve. |

For people who liked the movie: what were your thoughts on Ex Machina (2015)?

Grabbed this book the other day about the art of BR2049 and what went into making it. It is a really interesting dive into the look and feel of the movie. Huge book.

Seems like the internet generation has lost touch with things that arent spelled out for them...and left to interpretation. They need to be told...and prodded. I would imagine they hate the ending of Kubrick's 2001 too...just not fast enough. (FTR the ending of that movie is brilliant...IMO. No ****s were given if the audience understood what it meant.)

Loved it. Saw it with very low expectations but was very happily surprised.
