Not seen this film yet, kinda sitting on the fence about it. I seen the first one when I was a kid and barely remember it other than it being long and boring because I had no idea what was going on. Shall watch it again soo.
Had 4 reports back, 1 being it was a master piece and the others saying it was incredibaly boring of which could have easily been cut down by an hour. Reading 1 or 2 IMDB reviews it seems this film is like marmite.
Would it really make a difference if I wait to watch it on TV? If so, is IMAX 3D a must?
I would disregard other peoples opinion and attempt to watch it in a neutral frame of mind. I am not a huge fan of the original. This one is better IMOHad 4 reports back, 1 being it was a master piece and the others saying it was incredibaly boring of which could have easily been cut down by an hour.

Definitely see it in the cinema. Its made to give you the most from the experience.
Anyway, my review:
"s
tting Peugeot!" (Did anyone else notice that - an advert on a building, the startup screen on the dashboard and even the current radiator grille design (at the waste recycling plant).
More seriously, I liked it, although I was rooting for K to be Deckard's kid all the way through, but that would have been too easy, of course. I felt as deflated as he did at the end...

Yes - i was amazed he flew around in a Peugeot too - you think with all the rain and snow it would have long conked out with an electrical fault."s

With regards to

that was one of the nicer touches - i think the prospect of K possibly being 'the one' spurred him on to complete the quest - and he was clearly deflated when he found out it wasn't him.

Another quite point worth noting:
Last night, we were the only two people in the whole screening. So, it may very well not be long for this world...
Saturday night it was packed when I went. But I'm guessing that's when the majority of the intended audience could find time to go? Last night, we were the only two people in the whole screening. So, it may very well not be long for this world...
Finally got around to seeing this tonight. Good grief, I came extremely close to nodding off part way through - and that's not a throwaway comment for comedy effect. I had to properly shuffle in my seat in the run up to K going to see Deckard as my eyes started to get properly heavy.
It just didn't seem to do anything. I'm quite disappointed.

Finally someone else agrees with me, it’s a 90 minute film at best, stretched to 3 hours. Some interesting themes certainly but diluted by the directors insistence on trying to make the most brooding film in the world.It just didn't seem to do anything. I'm quite disappointed.

But possibly could have done without the virtual girlfriend bit.
The whole film is about what it means to be real/intelligent/exist, this shows another level and imo is a great addition In the first part of the plot, she is clearly the mechanism by which the Wallace Corporation were learning what was going on. Yet she was devoted to K - including the 'love' call out right at her end. What if her conscious learnt that her subconscious had been betraying his confidence? How would she have dealt with that? Would have been really interesting...
