Introduction
This was seen at Reading Cinema with 2 friends after a good dinner.
Ethos
- I heard this was made by a strong team with lots of money.
- Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford are the big names, obviously.
Pathos
- General cyberpunk vibe: the raining cities, dust over the sky, nuclear bomb remnant
- Strong Japanese influence in the US for some reason
- The holographic AI girlfriend, and its much bigger version
- Little japanese shops
- The Peugeut automobile
- Good looking guns
- Actors/actresses were good looking
- Movie title fonts and colours
- Sometimes noises are a bit too much
Logos
- The main clue was to “find that child”
- Obvious nuclear war happened years ago, from the long-lasting dark sky and radioactive Las Vegas, a random place to bomb.
- The ending was a bit unsatisfying.
- The acting of that scary lady was meh.
- The boss’ bilateral cataract need treatment.
- Artificial intelligence and network security was fundamentally incorrect.
- Did not show the life of normal human (non-replicants).
- Did not explain the rationale for using replicants cf. AI machines, which looked quite capable already.
- Single DNA nucleotide comparison to identify people was not very convincing.
- At the start, everyone was a radiologist!
Conclusion
- Good movie, worth watching just for the cyberpunk vibe, and the hologrpahic girlfriend.
