btw, the text blurring plugin seems to be broken, so be careful if you were hoping to use that.
‘Hide Details’ works OK though.

Just got out from seeing it. I thought it was great, I loved the premise, the performances and the cinematography.
I definitely got the feeling that the ending was setting the scene for a further sequel, but not sure if that will happen, given the box office figures.
Must get the soundtrack too…
I definitely felt room was left for sequels, but otherwise stood fine on its own which can’t be said of every movie these days.

“Sequel of classic movie used as launching pad for franchise” shocker.

I watched it on bluray last night for the first time and was suitably impressed with it.
Have to admit I dreading watching it due to being such a fan of the original.

Having being blown away at the cinema I tried to watch BR 2049 on the small screen and decided it was pretty poor and doesn’t bear repeated viewing (unlike the original).
Ryan Gosling is utterly devoid of charm or on screen presence.
I didn’t get to see it on the big screen unfortunately so this was my first viewing, I want to watch it again already so will shall see what the 2nd time brings to the party.
With really good films, hidden or unnoticed details usually come to light the second time around.
I’d avoided all reviews so far…

Can’t stand Gosling, think he’s an absolutely awful actor.
Watched the film at the cinema and though visually it was brilliant Gosling just got on my tits, having watched it a few times since I think it is a good film.

I just took his character to be essentially an android (yes, I know a replicant isn’t an android), necessarily dispassionate and emotionless to enable him to do the job he does. Given those criteria, I think Gosling did a fair job.
It definitely lost a sense of scale on a telly compared to the cinema, but I still enjoyed it, and will watch it again.

Gosling didn’t do anything, it was just a role that fitted in with his complete lack of acting ability.
