If you are adventurous, give Sing Street a try....guarantee will give you a giddy good feeling. It's a really nice movie that does not get enough love.

It is one of the best movies of 2017 ... I really like the first Blade Runner movie and the world it envisioned ... among the most influential sci-fi movies ... even played the PC game last time, and had read the short story "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?".

After watching the three shorts on YouTube, BR:Black Out 2022, BR:2036 Nexus Dawn, & BR:2048 Nowhere to Run, I was ready to immerse back in the bleak plausible future world ... and I'm not disappointed at all with Blade Runner 2049.  Actings were top-notch & moving, cinematography was captivating, soundtrack was minimal but effective (still wondering how much of Johan Johansson's score was altered, and how much was Hans Zimmer's), sound effects was superb (wanna watch again with a good home theatre system for the LFE rumblings), visual effect mixed with more grounded practical effects were not too jarring, the noir detective + 3-sided conflicts + AI romance storyline was interesting enough ... most importantly, the message and theme of the movie is meaningful for me.

Nonetheless, I couldn't recommended the movie to most people,  ... mainly due to the deliberately slow pacing, and the actively churning grey cells required while watching the 2hrs40+mins film.  Hopefully though, Blade Runner 2049 will also be a cult-classic and has a huge following in the future, similar to its predecessor.

Haha...malaysia tastebud can not lari from capes and tights. That is high art in the eyes of general audiences.

Do agree 2049 is one of the better movie for this year and destined to suffer the same fate of it's predecessor. A very good film that bomb big time, so does a handful of influential masterpieces.

A definite Oscar nominee for Best Picture & Best Actress... 

She has come a long way since 'Atonement' (that ending... *gulp* so sad) and 'The Lovely Bones'.
