Z dweller said:Great interview with composers Hans Zimmer and Benjamin Wallfisch about the challenges of scoring the film.
While their main aim was to come up with something completely new and appropriate to this second chapter in the story, they still went and dug out a specimen of the old CS80 synth used by Vangelis back in '82, in order to achieve some sonic consistency in key scenes.
Good stuff!
Got my tickets and can't wait for tomorrow...

All Kudos to Dennis, though. A well executed film. For what that's worth. It's art, to be sure. Cinematic Art. I applaud that. As to the rest, you can get it in my spoiler, but undoubtedly it'll **** some of you off.

Which brings me to my next point: some on here had guessed the movie's main plot device many moons ago (SPOILER WARNING: don't click this link if you haven't seen the movie yet).
But it certainly did not prevent them from enjoying this sequel.
There are only so many way you can skin a cat, after all.
And when the story is wrapped in such a magnificent, immersive visual universe, does it really matter that much anyway?

So do I, but they were smart enough not to provide a "conclusive" answer in this sequel.Joe Brody said:I prefer my Deckard human.
Vangelis' "Tears in rain", which implies he dies like Batty. |
"There is nothing more human that dying for what you believe in" |
Watch it again, it's intentional.Joe Brody said:There's an intentional slackness to the plot (I'm thinking of Luv getting her nails done in one scene) that I haven't totally figured out yet.

Z dweller said:Villeneuve himself said so in interviews even before the movie opened, and the story stands whether you choose to consider him human, or replicant.
Z dweller said:BTW, I loved Hoek's performance: she's terrifying, mysterious and sad at the same time.
Those Dutch sure make good replicants!
