Quintus 5,399 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Hopefully, for the backers sake, positive word of mouth in the social media era will help BR2 to gather at least some momentum at the other end of its theatrical run.

This is disappointing, in that it's just telling Hollywood that all people want are endless installments in mindless franchises. And that's probably mostly true. I guarantee you they're reconsidering those Dune plans right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt C 454 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 The length and pacing of Blade Runner 2049 is partially what crippled it. Villeneuve could've trimmed 10-20 minutes from the film to give it more momentum without making the plot more confusing. And the massive budget is another thing. Surely the company could've produced the film for $100M with the same cast (or with Gosling and Ford) and director, but made the story less lengthy. And lastly, it's a pure auteur film. Sometimes an auteur film made by a major studio clicks commercially (like Dunkirk), but for something as ambitious as BR2049, some of the younger audience is turned off by the length and pacing.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 The relative failure of both will encourage studios to cut investments in films with serious sci-fi themes. More superhero films will be ordered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminator? Every attempt to revive that franchise has pretty much flopped. It's nostalgia value is even less than Alien. Which actually had some nostalgia value until its creator screwed it up.

I'd really like to know which movies to avoid in the future. This "obnoxious" sound is between music and sound effects and more or less a trait of Denis Villeneuve. But it's just nasty in cinemas, cause the people working there just know bass and treble, nothing between that. Pieter Boelen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fancyarcher 350 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I think the music for Dunkirk is very effective in context, especially that "ticking" sound, though I agree that it doesn't need to be heard in the film 96% of the time.
