Theatrical trailer

When quiet, aimless and amiable Vann Siegert (Owen Wilson) drifts into town, no one suspects the evil that lies beneath the surface. Despite his easy charm, he is merely a reflection of what those who encounter him want him to be. The more Vann tries to make a go of his new life, the stronger the mysterious forces are that pull him in a darker direction. When locals start to disappear, it becomes clear that an eerie subtraction is at work among the lost and lonely of this sleepy, seaside hamlet. People look toward Vann, but no one can quite put their finger on who he really is. Through it all, he carries on a surreal dialogue with imaginary detectives who question his crimes and motives.

Pre-order The Minus Man.

Blade Runner 2049 (2017)

Blade Runner 2049 is one of the few times I've seen a film’s intelligence work against its own third act. This is a sci-fi pic with a brain, a great successor to the original Ridley Scott classic thanks to its themes and stunning visuals. So much thought has been placed into the workings of its world you can tell this film is too smart for it to go in the direction it’s pretending to go. Is that a legitimate flaw? Hard to say. One thing’s for sure, the picture is too long, even when watching it at home. Nonetheless, those who want a thinking man's story about robots and what it means to be human will not be disappointed.

In the future, artificial humans called replicants serve mankind as slaves. "K" (Ryan Gosling), is a blade runner, an advanced replicant charged with hunting down his rogue brothers. When the remains of a once-pregnant replicant are discovered, the thin line that defines humanity is threatened. K is charged by his superior (Robin Wright as Lt. Joshi) to track down and eliminate any trace of this anomaly. His only lead is a name: Deckard.

Before its theatrical release, Blade Runner 2049 was preceded by three short films that help enrich the world and clarify this view of the future. Included in the home release, they bridge the gap between the 30 (in-universe) years between the first film and this sequel but the quality varies. The first, Black Out 2022 is animated but the graphics are only ok. Otherwise, I’d say it’s the best of the three. 2036: Nexus Dawn shows the rise of Niander Wallace (Jared Leto), but it’s a bit over-the-top in just how evil he seems… though this may be appropriate considering the film is, ultimately, about a race of artificial humans who are enslaved. The third, 2048: Nowhere to Run focuses on Sapper Morton (Dave Bautista). It's fine but doesn't add much to the overall experience. Ultimately, these little stories are worth seeing. Altogether, they run about a half hour so I say watch them all three in a row, then take a break. Next up, the whopping 163-minute ride that is 2049.

Blade Runner 2049 is a dazzling presentation. Even at home, you’ll be impressed by the rich cityscapes, particularly the futuristic advertisements projected on the streets. The look of Blade Runner 2049 blows away the competition, particularly 2017’s Ghost in the Shell, which I gave a pass to but seeing this, regret doing for so many reasons. That’s only the surface. What's most exciting is what this film is saying about humans, artificial or not. When K goes home, he is greeted by an artificial woman, a hologram confined to his apartment who simulates small talk and a relationship. We’re talking about an artificial being interacting with another, completely different artificial being. What does it say about this facsimile of a man that he still longs for companionship? In the world of Blade Runner, the line between real and artificial humans is solely defined by whether or not one is born or grown in a factory. We’re shown that Replicants are as capable of emotion as people are, and it seems so unfair that they are considered property. If the artificial intelligences we keep developing continue the way they do now, how long until the only difference between a human being and a computer is that one has a body and the other doesn’t?

Blade Runner 2049 is what all sequels should be. It stands firmly on its own but you’ll have a greater appreciation for it if you’ve seen the original. The world and characters within it are complex, sometimes in unexpected ways. Sometimes it’s not so much what someone says or does, but what they don’t say or do that shows what they’re really about. Like its predecessor, this was not a box-office champion but it’s got the intelligence, the story and the dazzle necessary to endure. (On Blu-ray, June 29, 2018)

ok so i'm trying to watch blade runner for the first time. but i got distracted wondering where the title blade runner came from, bc i've read "do androids dream of electric sheep?", and iirc the term blade runner isn't even used there. right? WELL turns out it's borrowed from a 1979 novella Blade Runner: A Movie by William S. Burroughs (not actually a movie but screenplay in book form, and, according to reviews, mostly incomprehensible and thoroughly unfilmable) WHICH in TURN is a very loose adaptation of the 1974 novel The Bladerunner by Alan E. Nourse (who wasn't a nurse but was a doctor. btw). and screenwriter Hampton Fancher just thought it sounded cool

Blade Runner is a 1982 science fiction film directed by Ridley Scott from a screenplay by Hampton Fancher and David Peoples.[7][8] Starring Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young, and Edward James Olmos, it is an adaptation of Philip K. Dick's 1968 novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? The film is set in a dystopian future Los Angeles of 2019, in which synthetic humans known as replicants are bio-engineered by the powerful Tyrell Corporation to work on space colonies. When a fugitive group of advanced replicants led by Roy Batty (Hauer) escapes back to Earth, burnt-out cop Rick Deckard (Ford) reluctantly agrees to hunt them down. Blade Runner initially underperformed in North American theaters and polarized critics; some praised its thematic complexity and visuals, while others critiqued its slow pacing and lack of action. The film's soundtrack, composed by Vangelis, was nominated in 1982 for a BAFTA and a Golden Globe as best original score. Blade Runner later became a cult film, and has since come to be regarded as one of the greatest science fiction films. Hailed for its production design depicting a high-tech but decaying future, the film is often regarded as both a leading example of neo-noir cinema and a foundational work of the cyberpunk[9] genre. It has influenced many science fiction films, video games, anime, and television series. It also brought the work of Dick to Hollywood's attention and led to several film adaptations of his works. In 1993, it was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress.

Blade Runner 2049 (2017), screenplay by Hampton Fancher and Michael Green

[byneddiedingo]

Blade Runner has endured in part because it isn't over-infatuated with the technological whiz-bang of so many sci-fi films, especially since the advances in CGI. Its effects, supervised by the great Douglas Trumbull, have the solidity and tactility so often missing in CGI work, because they're very much in service of the vision of production designer Laurence G. Paull, art director David L. Snyder, and especially "visual futurist" Syd Mead. But more especially because they're in service of the humanity whose very questionable nature is the point of Hampton Fancher and David Webb Peoples's adaptation of the Philip K. Dick novel, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? It also helps that the film has a terrific cast. Harrison Ford can't help bringing a bit of Han Solo and Indiana Jones to every movie, but it's entirely appropriate here -- one time when a star image doesn't fight the script. Rutger Hauer makes Roy Batty's death scene memorable, and even Sean Young, a problematic actress at best, comes off well. (I think it's because when we first see her, she's dressed and coiffed like a drag-queen Joan Crawford, so that when she literally lets her hair down she takes on a softness we're not accustomed to from her.) And then there's Edward James Olmos as the enigmatic origamist Gaff, Daryl Hannah, William Sanderson, and especially Joanna Cassidy, who manages to achieve poignancy even wearing a transparent plastic raincoat.
