In Reply to: "Bladerunner 2049" HD is now on Comcast pay-per-view, if anyone is interested. nt posted by free.ranger on January 27, 2018 at 16:13:36:
Having viewed this movie a few times by now I have some thoughts.
Like: If 'Androids Might Dream of Electric Sheep', Replicants, in 2049, have electric girl friends.
Like Bladerunner before it, Bladerunner 2049 continues to present the largest corporations as evil entities.
Unlike Bladerunner, Bladerunner 2049 shows sympathy for replicants while putting on display no small amount of the human bigotry against them. A wierd fantasy.
If there were a third movie, would we viewers (all human btw) be rooting for the replicants to eradicate all human life on Earth? It seems it might go that way based on this movie.
All the above said, I liked this movie.
