It is crazy to think 2049 isn't long off, but I'll be dead before then.

That's terrible.

Sounds like a bad straight-to-video sequel from the '80s.

Is... is that actually on purpose?

Nah, if there was any purpose at all to this atrocity, they would at least release it in the year 2019, not 2017. How could anyone actually resist releasing the movie in the year that the original was set? Especially since they've left it this long without... well, without tainting a masterpiece. Let's not beat about the bush. That is the risk here, if not the inevitability.

Good director. Good talent.

Blade Runner is one of the best sci-fi films ever made.

This sequel has big shoes to fill.
