Didn't remember anything about the first one. Saw 2049 tonight. Home theater enthusiasts will absolutely love the low-frequency content, crazy LFE. Beautiful film, I followed the story right up until the end, now I'm not so sure. Still have no idea about Deckard. For me, it was worth the trip just for the sound alone.
Finally saw it Monday night. Great movie. The sound was nuts. It really contributed to the "big" feeling of the movie. Everything about it in the theater was BIG. The world, sound, visuals, etc.
I went an bought a used copy of the Ultimate, Super, Duper, This time we really mean it, Director's cut of the original on DVD and watched it last weekend. It wasn't the same movie I remember. Still better than the book though
One of the few times I'll say that the movie was better than the book
I liked the book, I never thought the movie was worth much. I feel the same way about the new movie. Too long, and too boring. I didn't pay for it, or I would have been angry.
