Is the abandoned city supposed to be the city from the original Blade Runner? Some of the interiors look a bit art deco-y there.

Blade Runner 2049 Official Trailer

- Start date
Not a fan of the trailer.
Giant holograms everywhere etc seem like a cliched vision of the future, the originals was so stylistic as it showed an incredible future, but one past it's prime. Worried this is just going to go for anything that looks artsy and ditch tech-noir. I want some old school fucking curved CRT screens and things that make clicking noises!
That 'change the fate of the world' shit can fuck right off, the original film was a small slice of life about a guy doing a dangerous job in a world going to shit, I felt like his story was just a very small glimpse into a very big future. They don't need to raise the stakes to make it a better film.
"Let me ask you a few questions" to Deckard was good though, I'll give it that.

Looking at these more carefully, it kind of sucks how plainly visible digital noise is in some of them, most notably in the wide shot of the girl walking towards him on the roof. Another shot that bothered me is this one:

That looks a lot like a poorly done green screen.
you mean next year? Oscar season is over.

Did it peak your interest stylistically? Did it make you want to see it?
Your opinion is important for the success of this film, because its been so many years since the original.

Few more snapshots from the prores trailer:

it's a pretty film but it's nowhere as charming as the original. excuse the lq grabs.
These are some great sceengrab comparisons. Best way I can sum it up is the original just had more ambition in every frame, it's almost like the new film is stripping out elements of it and creating a minimalist version of that movies visual style.

Regarding the clean look does anyone remember this Concept Art that was shown in EW?
It wouldn't suprise me then if we see more vehicles like this one above cleaning up the city.
I think the opening shot of the first trailer had a couple of these, but they look a bit different, or just harder to make out the details.

Leto's character is blind, just like Tyrell.

You're acting like they only showed one set for the whole two minutes. We get a variety of locales shown off in this trailer. I think it's fair for people to judge the visuals based on that. And while I'm excited for this film and am prepared for something new, I do agree some of the sets look too clean. Even the areas that are supposed to be abandoned and desolate look too clean.

How is it cherry picking when all those comparisons are of visually similar shots and scenes?
Edit: Also, that dog in the gif barely gives a fuck. lol

ATARI poised for the big bucks now, finally an arcade of your very own
and Ford put more years of life into that punch than I did making this line a Millennial joke about '80s Han Solo
My money's on Ford getting paid off screen during that mansion attack scene, early in the movie as it should be for this.
also, that 'I always told you, you're special,' line, it's bothering me a lot. Like, in a 'ohhhhh commmmmeeeeeee oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn' sort of way
Anyway, solid trailer. I hope this cyberpunkpunk gives us the satisfying conclusion to the '80s vision of the future we deserve
pls no. So tired of people being family. Can a sequelagonist ever meet the old cast and not have them be ancestors?
bleh

If you don't want to participate in the conversation, don't post. The comparisons are completely valid.
Even ads are thirsty for The Gos.

it peaked my interest because of the cinematography and the incredible colours and style, however it makes me want to to see the first one to get a grasp on wtf is going on.
It's weird how huge hes gotten.
I remember as a kid coming home from school and watching some Young Hercules.

All the complaints about this film not looking as great as the original are driving me bananas.
Is this different? Absolutely. Is everyone entitled to an opinion? Again, absolutely.
But for the love of God, the sheer amount of people here that are trying to look at a gift horse in the mouth is asinine.
This film is stunning. Shut up for two seconds about it not being "grimy enough" and compare this to every other film that's out there nowadays and actually appreciate the high level of effort that's being poured into these shots. It makes Rogue One look pretty ordinary, for crying out loud!
By all means, prefer the original if you will (It's a classic after all), but at least take the time to appreciate just how damn good this movie looks. Clean or not.

People are already doing both. You're just focusing on the negative comments.

It's missing that grimy lived in look that the first movie (and a lot of sci fi in the 80s) had
Thats disappointing. I miss that kind of aesthetic a lot
But otherwise this shit looks really dope. I totally thought they were gonna make Leto a crazy Replicant similar to Roy Batty since that kind of performance is totally in his wheelhouse but I guess that would be redundant. This role looks cool too. Some beautiful shots in here

It is cherry picking because the selected shots from the original and the new film share only very surface similarities. Oh, look a shot of an eye compared to another shot of an eye, wow let's glean some glaring qualitative difference between the two. The shots in this trailer were chosen with intent and us attempting to match them without being privy to context is just silly, not mention that they are fractions of a second shots from longer scenes.
Here, I quoted you and am in the process of actively engaging with you. I hope that meets your standards.

No. The score is done by the same composer who did music in Sicario - Jóhann Jóhannsson, but the music in this trailer is the rework of the original theme.

Considering what can be done with computers today, I'm surprised the original looks better.
It's hard to put in words what better actually means though. Richer, more detailed, moodier?
I felt the exact same way with Ghost in the Shell. The look of the Anime has a life to it that the movie lacked. Personally, I'm not a fan of the huge hologram people in either GitS or this new Blade Runner trailer. It makes it feel more digital, cleaner.
Of course, this is just the trailer, but I don't see why they would want to hide the good stuff.

Why would it look the same as the original? It's a different time period.

I disagree that the visuals can't be judged from a trailer. Every trailer thread there's people saying, you can't judge anything from a trailer. So why make a thread if we're not allowed to share our impressions based on a trailer? Can't judge story from a trailer? Okay fair. Can't judge the film's quality? Of course. Can't judge characters? Fair. Actors? Maybe. But visuals are totally fair to judge outside of some heavy CGI characters and action effects that probably aren't done yet.

Technology doesn't just stop progressing. No one said the overpopulation situation got better, but it's not like these are the only humans. Blade Runner isn't in a post apocalyptic Earth. There are still major cities, new models of replicants being made and manufactured
We're talking about the shots themselves and the decisions made within each of them, divorced from the script and story context of each. You don't have to have seen either film to be able to see the differences in each of them. The visuals and composition of a shot can be appreciated on their own merits.
It wasn't a stylistic choice, that was the tech available to them in 1982.

Do it, watch the final cut on Blu ray. Its one of the most influential movies ever made.
Its so far ahead of its time. It can be a little slow in spots, but visually its stunning. If you watch it, thinking my god this was made over 30 years ago, Its mind blowing.
