Eventually got to see Blade Runner 2049 last night.
An incredible 8.5 on IMDB, with a shed load of votes.
Looked great, deffo a big screen movie.
And I liked a lot of it.
But like the first one, just think the plot is a bit thin, hard to really 'buy in'.
Worth a watch, but for me it's more like a 7.5/10.
My thing with 2049, and the original for that matter, is the plot in itself may be simple - it's all the themes that go along with it. What is real, what is not real, the idea of creation, self determination vs destiny/purpose etc etc. After I read the book it's all based on ages ago (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, highly recommend) I was a little (okay, a lot) drunk and had a massive conversation at my wife about if you're a god believer, then does that make you an android/replicant? Since he is the creator, and we are just his tools (in theory, I'm an atheist anyway)
My brain does weird things sometimes. Anyway. I loved 2049, absolutely loved it. Slow burner sure, but man does it just grip you. Beautifully made.
Watched Baby Driver on my flight to LA a couple weeks ago. What a great little film that is. Also Table 19, nice little drama/comedy that gets you thinking about life and love and all that jazz. The Founder, about the start of McDonalds. Not bad for a little bit of history.
Also watched Baywatch. Alexandra Daddario... About it. Absolutely worth watching, then
