Blade Runner 2049 is a masterpiece! Best film of the year hands down! The people and the public in general are too stupid (I have to say it) to appreciate true artistic story-telling and vision. And the vision of a dark and lonely future Blade Runner paints is perhaps too scary for most to handle. Shame. I honestly think the movie was just too "serious" without much humour in it for the mainstream to care.
When something as bad as Star Wars: The Last Jedi (haven't even watched it but won't considering how much I hated Force Awakens - the only star wars film I have seen!) makes over a billion dollars at the box office and Blade Runner 2049 bombs well then you know something must be wrong. I was in heaven in the theater. The film was atmospheric, bleak and dark. Too dark and grim (painted a very scary future) for most people to appreciate, I guess, which makes most people "generic" and not open-minded enough. Kudos to all the Blade Runner fans out there!
Blade Runner 2049 is a work of art and what an insult to not have it included for best picture nomination. It's an insult to cinema. But you know what??? SCREW the oscars! I stopped caring ever since they did not recognize The Passion of the Christ either. Why even care what the Academy thinks anyway??? Why care what ANYONE thinks??? Everyone should just enjoy what they enjoy.
