Blade Runner, anybody see it and thoughts?

I just saw it tonight... wow is it LOOOOONNNNNGGGGG.
There's about 30 minutes of footage they should have taken out and I think it would have been considerably more enjoyable.
Lots of great throwbacks to the original (which I haven't seen in 30 years) which was nice.
I'd rate it a B-
I have no idea how it rated so high with the critics.

Worth it for brief scenes with this beauty.
Ana de Armas - muy Caliente!

How long the movie was didn't bother me which is surprising being that it's not really my genre. Much like Dunkirk, music is used effectively to drive up the intensity. It worked for me and I really enjoyed it.
saw it last night and enjoyed it. very methodical and moody, like the original.

What makes us human? We're apes - nothing more, nothing less.
And, most likely the reason this planet has never been visited by E.T.
What reason would an intelligent species have to visit a Planet of the Apes?
I liked it but not sure it was as good as all the critics were raving about.
My biggest issue with it was its too long. Cut about 30 minutes out of it and its a much better film.
I felt the last 45 minutes were perfect, but agree that - for a theatrical film - about 15-20 minutes in the first half was good, but excessive
You might be an ape, IDK. I definitely am not; certainly a lot more than a chest pounding banana eating bush wanderer.
Oh, I assure you, you ARE an ape. After reading your response, it's obvious you're a DELUSIONAL ape.
Go eat a banana, you'll feel better.
Maybe they haven't visited because the closest star is at least four light-years distant? What makes you think that alien civilizations are more "intelligent" than ours? After all, if they exist they would be made up of the same stardust as we are. They'd have been through the same sort of evolutionary pressures we've gone through in the last 4 billion years. One other thing: Our atmosphere would almost certainly be toxic to any alien life form. If there were actual aliens out there and they'd want to visit Earth, they'd send robots; they wouldn't come over themselves.
One of the problems with your posts, and the main reason I usually have you on ignore, is that nobody on this board can ever tell when you're being serious or when you're just trolling for reactions.
The length didn't bother me at all. I could have stayed in that world a lot longer I liked it so much, and apocalypses and androids really aren't my thing.
1) If Naked Apes are the best the universe has to offer, that would be the most saddest thing ever. But, I digress.
2) If you're smarter than me, you'd know if I'm trolling or being serious.
3) Naked Apes aren't intelligent. You should know that. Just because you can say you're smarter than a chimp doesn't mean you're intelligent. And, just because you can look at another Naked Ape and say you're smarter than him/her STILL doesn't mean you're intelligent. All it means is you're smarter than a chimp and some Naked Apes. Big woop!
4) Thank you for your speculations. And, thanks for implying YOUR speculations make more sense than MINE.
BOTTOM LINE...Naked Apes are - AT BEST - a peculiar species. And, IN MY FVCKING OPINION, that's why we aren't worth visiting.

Well, I surely think that Neil DeGrasse Tyson would be worth visiting, wouldn't you think?
I didn't say anything about us being smarter than chimps. I didn't even mention chimps. I'll ignore that part of your response.
As for your whining that I implied my speculations make more sense than yours, well, you're the one who didn't try to refute my arguments. If you think your speculations make more sense than mine, well, then by all means make an argument to refute mine. I used a scientific argument. Maybe it's a good one, maybe it isn't. What the hell, I'm only a mathematician. But you offered nothing in response other than a pout, so, yeah, I'm going to assume that my speculations on this do make more sense than yours.
This must be the fiftieth thread where you've brought up Earth being visited by aliens. I finally respond that, nah, it's really unlikely and you end up with your panties in a twist.

Probably Weinsteins' final victim.Worth it for brief scenes with this beauty.

I'm betting he takes a flight out of Sky Harbor on his private jet tonight for Europe, and then remains gone. He's toast if he stays in the U.S., they have him dead to rights on at least a dozen charges of sexual assault and probably half that many on forcible rape. New York has no statute of limitations so he can't use the Cosby defense. He's going Polanski.
