Sounds fucking great. Absolutely cannot wait.
This is dumb. Star Wars isn't going for the same thing as Blade Runner, not even remotely. Nor do I even understand what the "live-action Lego movie" dig is supposed to tell me... Because The Lego Movie is a fucking masterpiece.

This is a pretty solid group of initial impressions via a sampling of the enthusiast press.
Deakins is finally getting his Oscar this year. Been feeling like that since he got announced.
(then again, I always feel like that)

Most of these are professional critics and film bloggers. You could've clicked through and seen that for yourself.
I believe the embargo ends sometime this weekend, but I'm not 100% on that.

Wow, I actually thought this was going to be terrible from the trailers.

Deakins confirmed to not only not get his Oscar this year, but be taunted by the Oscar Meyer Twitter and Weinermobile

Neat.
I'll keep my expectations in check though since I thought Arrival was a tad disappointing.

Be happy he didn't call it "the Citizen Kane of Sci-Fi movies"

Crashing this plane... with no survivors!
Dang, didn't even realize this comes out next week.
What could possibly make you think that? The trailer looked amazing!

"Pretentious" isn't something I use often but that is pretentious.
The true "tensai".
I'm curious too. These "first impressions" are usually extremely hyperbolic and not a great indication of how good the film actually is.
I really want this movie to be great (and it sounds like it is), but keeping my expectations in check.

I think "hard sci-fi detective drama" has sold me on it.

I am so happy.
Only you can answer that question. Read up some of their thoughts on other films and see if they align with yours.

Damn, those impressions are hype. When is this due out, by the way?

All hail the new King in town. I absolutely think this could have a chance of being better than the original.

Hopefully the reaction leads to great reviews. Everything prior, including an interview with Villeneuve had me worried that it was going to get mix reception and not do well financially, but this is very encouraging. The detective drama aspect could turn the film off for some people though, and it needs to do a lot to be successful, since its budget is so big. Fingers crossed that the reviews are actually superb.
Yeah that's just a critic probably being pretentious as all fuck.
