Dune new trailer reaction please
ONE OF THE MOST UNDERRATED MOVIES EVER!
The 7 minute 15 second music video ''The Divine Comedy - Infernal Machines / You'll Never Work in This Town Again.'' [ by The Divine Comedy - Official ]
I love that the protagonist isn't the main character, he's just a side character that the story follows. He's not the chosen one, he's the unsung hero. Nobody will really remember him, but none of it would have been possible without him.
I think you just explained why I felt deja vu for this film when watching star wars andor
He will be lost in time , like tears in rain ( but seriously they used tears in rain as music for the scene
@@LordOgr1312 He will not because he served a purpouse
His entire arc is learning to construct his own meaning and by saving Deckard and reuniting him with his daughter, Joe makes himself apart of the miracle. Roy Batty dies a meaningless life in the dark rain looking at the ground, forgotten. Joe dies in the light looking up at the sky, a truly meaningful death, who’s purpose will always be remembered.
@@Jellybob69 I disagree with Roy having a meaningless life, his point in the end was to change Deckard’s perspective and showed him that replicants are just as “human” as humans. He knew that replicants should have rights from the start, that’s why he was rebelling. What’s different between him and K is that K didn’t realize his value as a sentient being at first, but grew to do so by realizing that what defines him is not what he is but what he does, so he decided to help Deckard in the end, making him as much “human” as humans.
It's almost too subtle, but it's an awesome reference. The wooden horse has a broken spot on the forehead where a horn used to be. It's not a horse, it's a unicorn.
Wow I've never noticed that.
Good eye. Wow
Never noticed that, brilliant spot!
Goodness, you're right!
DUDDDEEE
Roger Deakins finally got his well deserved Oscar for this movie. The greatest cinematographer in film. Sad he isn't returning with Denis with Dune
Denis does however has the cinematographer from Rogue one. Which for me is the best looking Star Wars movie so he should be in great hand. But I do admit I would love to see what Villeneuve, Deakins and Zimmer would have done together in Dune
Deakins was working on a different movie at the time, so unfortunately he couldn’t work on Dune.
The film still looks great 👍🏻
Greig Fraser did the cinematography for Dune. He was nominated for the Oscar in 2016 for doing the cinematography for Lion, and he may get nominated again, who knows?
@@Max25670 Yes - I believe he was working on 1917, actually
Blade Runner 2049 deserved to do better at the box office.
Yeah, but these types of movies never sadly do well :( Besides Blade Runner wasn't a box office nor a critical hit at first either.
It's a philosophical sci-fi movie and that's a hard sell for regular movie-goers.
In a way, I'm kinda glad the film didn't do well only because it would attract a large and vocal audience that can ruin your enjoyment of a film. Not that I care too much of what everyone else thinks, but I'm someone who likes 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' for example... so you can imagine the shitstorm I keep reminding myself of when I see that film.
'Blade Runner 2049' fortunately, is a movie I can enjoy in peace.
@@stormtraitor6545 TLJ sucked
@@shaba21
Ok boomer.
@@stormtraitor6545 Boomer? Who says that shit anymore I'm prob younger than you lmao
Blade Runner 2049 is one of the best sequel of the last 20 years for many reasons...It adds to the original, pay respect to the style of it and is not taking anything away from it ! The best sequel do that, it doesn't break, but add and let you go in different directions and make you analyze the original in other directions ! Deckard is the best exemple in that movie...was he a replicant or not in the original ? 2049 doesn't answer it and the way it is built, it can still be both way ! It's kinda amazing !!
The cherry on top of it is god tier direction that rivals that of the original.
This movie needs to be seen on the big screen, one of the best cinema experiences I've ever had alongside Interstellar
Doctor Sleep (director's cut) is another amazing sequel to a film from decades earlier. Mad Max Fury Road is another as well.
@@arnodk2852 I agree with both and they add, not remove from their original source material !
@@jean-philippedoyon9904 It's really sad that not many people are even aware of Doctor Sleep.
What a masterpiece. Easily one of the best movies ever made, maybe the best post 2000
Aliens is one of the best sequels ever made. This film tops that 10 fold. But, that’s just my opinion
my top 3
This movie will grow in stature over time and be considered an all time great.
@@jeffreyletourneau299 like Shawshank
It’s without a doubt in the top ten sci-fi movies ever made.
Denis Villenueve and Alex Garland are making the most interesting cool designed sci fi films right now. Arrival and Annihilation pair so well together dude
Facts
Incoming dune
Have you watched Garland's TV series DEVS? It is fantastic. He wrote and directed all episodes. It is one of the smartest TV shows i have seen for quite some time.
@@carlossaraiva8213 I'm on episode 3! It's nice to have a show that really gets into the uncomfortableness that determinism has on people's self conception
@@OlPalJoe The show basically has the same view on life and human nature as i have. It seems the queasiness americans have about determinism is a very american thing, but Garland is british so he is not as an exalted opinion of free will as americans seem to have.
And by the way, the series gets better with each episode. I think it is Garland's masterpiece.
This is the movie that FINALLY got Roger Deakins the Oscar for Best Cinematography after almost 40 years of being long overdue. Before this movie he did The Shawshank Redemption, The Big Lebowski (as well as almost all of the other Cohen Bros movies), Skyfall, Sicario, and 1917.
Also I honestly wish that Cyperpunk 2077 had felt a bit more like this movie.
1917 was AFTER this movie, and his 2nd Oscar.
@@jp3813 had to get all his most significant credits
Cyberpunk nails the feels of this movie when you get into an acid rain while being in the city. It happens very rarely but oh my god it's perfect Bladerunner
@@u-topia5447 Good thing there's a weather mod that lets you set the chance or even make it permanently acid rain.
It would have made the game better, that's for sure.
I was so devastated that Joe wasn't the replicant/child. I gasped in the theater when that woman said the baby was a girl. 😭😭😭
Referring to Joe's car: "It looks like it could be a Batmobile."
Christopher Nolan used the original Blade Runner as inspiration for his approach to Batman, as it is an example of a rather unreal world given a very grounded sense of realism. Also, the futuristic animated series Batman Beyond also draws quite heavily from Blade Runner's aesthetics with its hover vehicles and monolithic buildings.
"The first one had models, and this one had CG"
Actually a lot what you see is still models. Most of the city shots are actually huge sets of miniature models. Some of the buildings were as tall as a grown man. The entire scrapyard where K got shot down was also miniature sets. Watch some behind the scenes videos, the practical craft that went into the movie is insane!
The Cinematography in this movie is amazing.
Honestly, no other movie has come close to the sheer level of perfection of this film's cinematography. The Oscars made the right choice here.
Anyone who watched this movie without watching the original won't fully appreciate this masterpiece of a sequel. The visuals of this movie are forever ingrained in my mind.
@k Yea but if you watched the original you would even appreciate it more!
i hated the original, it didnt have a single good quality in my eyes
Denis Villeneuve...That guy is chasing crazier and more difficult projects all the time ! In sci-fi movies, there is a before and after Blade runner...it's that influencial ! To not only make a sequel of a cult transformative classic like that movie, but also make it good, deep, witht he same style, atmosphere and respectful of both potential ending of the original is pure insanity ! The fact he did it is incredible...You think he would take a break but no, next movie will be Dune aka the movie that many consider impossible to direct and make it equal to the original source material...Apparently he will do a Cleopatra movie after that ! He has no bad movie yet and is getting better and better...THE most underrated director in all of Hollywood right now !! Je suis fière de notre réalisateur du Québec !!!
Im soo hyped for Dune
Arrival was more tightly written; 2049 is just good, but not his best… has me nervous for Dune
@@hellfish2309 Prisoners and sicario are way better imo
@@trevpilled ‘Prisoners’ structure threw me, but I still need to see ‘Sicario’... I liked 2049, but it’s the middle of Dennis’s work
@@trevpilled Arrival is his best...His Inception ! Dune will be his Dark Knight !! He is a fan of the books and from the trailer, know the right atmosphere and points to take !
You should have seen this masterpiece on an IMAX screen where it just looked outstanding. It would have also helped its box office, which it definitely deserved better. Also, this movie was directed by Denis Villeneuve, director of Prisoners, Sicario and Arrival, one of the best directors working today. He is also the one directing Dune.
@@Blitz-dm3kv don’t play stupid, you know what I mean.
One of the best things about the writing in this movie is how well it plays with the theme of ambiguity like in the first movie. For example, regardless of whether if Deckard is a human or a replicant, the implications of the fact that he had a child with Rachel is equally tremendous: If Deckard is a replicant, then replicants are sapient species. If Deckard is a human, then that implies that replicants would be subsumed under the human species. Both of these situations subvert the justification that people have in-universe have of treating replicants as merely biological machines.
Another bit of ambiguity is with regard to Joi: Was she truly self-aware or were her actions only done in accordance with her programming to please her owner? In the scene with the billboard, is K/Joe thinking that his love for Joi was all a lie? Or did he conclude that it was real for him and that's all that matters?
RICK: "he's the kid."
ME: *"Well YES but actually NO"*
I loved how stoic Calvin was during that
Please explain. You can't possibly call a young blade runner "the kid!"
@@o.m.a.r3311 he was referencing the early guess in the reaction that K was the child of Rachel and Decker
@@Chyll07 That I knew. I meant why the response was "Yes but no!"
@@o.m.a.r3311 because the whole film leads u on to think he's the kid from the flashbacks but in the end its her....also don't u know the meme from the pirates band of misfits
"Ive seen this once."
I personally have watched this movie about 20 times fully. twice in IMAX. bunch of times on Blu Ray.
Denis Villeneuve is one of the best director since 2010. He made movies like Prisonners, Sicario, Arrival, Ennemy, this movie and a couple more. Hes gonna direct the upcoming Dunes movie as well. I really hope they watch sicario, it has one of the most intense scene i've seen in a cinema.
Bruh watch Incendies. That shit's a masterpiece.
One of the main things I love about this film is Leto's character and not actually knowing if he's human or a replicant. There's enough clues in the film and the short films to suggest he's a Replicant but also a human so there's never a 100% answer and that's the scary thing because if he's a Replicant then he wants a child bearing army and if he's a human then its all simply business but eitherway he wants to be a kind of God essentially.
Therapist: Eric at the shoe store isn't real, he can't hurt you.
Eric at the shoe store: 8:25
I feel like this might be Harrison Ford's best performance in recent years. Compared to Star Wars I feel like he gave it all in this one.
You can tell when he's passionate about a character.
I remember seeing a interview with him and he said this film was, “F’ing awesome” I felt Deckard’s pain in this film. He indeed did a amazing job
Man, i kind of disagree. Like, the whole movie i felt like i was just seeing Harrison Ford, not Deckard. I know it's cool now to shit on the new Star Wars movies, but personally, Force Awakens convinced me really quickly that i was seeing Han Solo on screen, and not just "hey, the actor is back"
@@argonauta9044
I think Ford did great as Han in TFA, proving he hasn’t lost it. In ‘Blade Runner 2049’, he gave a very dramatic performance. I think both are equally effective in different ways, but to each their own.
@@stormtraitor6545 and to be clear, i'm not shitting on his work in 2049, If anything, this is just a pet peeve of mine
Since y'all don't know about Denis Villenueve... Would love to see y'all react to: Prisoners, Sicario, Arrival, Enemy.
Don't forget Incendies. Maybe his best one
@@jkbxofficial I haven't seen it yet! I have seen Polytechnique tho
@@SidPhoenix2211 incendies is 🔥..
Probably the most effort Harrison Ford has put into a role in 30 years.
You're not wrong.
True
He shows a surprising amount of range in Shrinking.
It was once considered an impossible task to even imagine an okay sequel to the original Bladerunner.
2049 went above and beyond the impossible. It matches the original and in some ways exceeds it.
Denis Vileneuve is the greatest director of our time.
Dune will show the world why.
Speaking of Denis. His other films are all 10/10 aswell;
Prisoners
Enemy
Sicario
Arrival
BR2049
What's amazing is that all of these films were released yearly. From 2013 with Prisoners to 2017 with BR2049.
That alone is a herculean feat.
The fact that Denis has spent the last 3 + years focusing on Dune alone makes me think its going to be an unmatched masterpiece. His magnum opus
Can't believe you guys don't know Denis Villeneuve
I have to agree with Aaron here when it comes to Wallace. He was constantly comparing himself to god, and his speech to Decker sounded like he was insinuating that god had a plan for Decker, the same as Wallace had a plan for the replicants.
yes, Rick got the wrong meaning out of that moment, this movie pretty much definitively says that Deckard is not a replicant. Mainly because he survived that long, replicants in his time can only live a couple years
It can be read both ways, and that was definitely intentional.
What made me think Deckard is not a replicant was also because of that reason, if Deckard was a replicant then he would have had to be made with the same Tyrell technology that Rachael had in order to conceive Ana.
Part of the technology he is looking for is right in front of him, why would Wallace ignore that fact and just have him shipped offworld and tortured?
@@TheOTA101Yet the Bautista replicant was old...and the old one-eyed woman was a replicant - somehow she survived a blade runner who took her eye.
56:03 JOI is portrayed by Ana de Armas who also plays Marta in Knives Out, she's a tremendously talented actress
Is so talented and so gorgeous! Can’t wait to see her in the new 007 film
"tremendously talented" ? She is talented, but there are far greater actresses working nowadays.
@@hoya1178 I never said she was the greatest actress but yeah okay whatever
@@hoya1178 I assumed they were talking about her talents on display in this movie.
JOI is also a catorgory of porn lol.
I just wanna say, I think it’s great that - towards the end of the film - when K hands Deckard the wooden horse, to Deckard meeting his daughter, I love that none of these guys say a single thing. They just sit there in complete silence and watch the last few minutes.
Those last few minutes of ‘Blade Runner 2049’ is just the masterpiece of cinema. Denis Villeneuve and his cinematographer Roger Deakins have crafted gold with this.
I think this scene is so subtle but its so meaninful. I think these short lines of deckard's dialog really completes his arc. He fully understands that even though K memories are implants he's feelings are very real. And then as K lays to die Deckards daughter says 'just a moment... beautiful isn't it?" and I think its a reference to the tears in rain monologue. His life/death is just a moment in time but is also beautiful. I think the snow is also a nice contrast to the rain in the OG movie, since snowflakes are unique in a way. God I love this movie.
The track "Sea Wall" from this soundtrack is AWESOME
That Bryan Rosling is a great choice for a lead character!
Uhh it's Byron Moseling
Bryan Rosling and Jarrison Bord did such a stunning job in this movie
@@kirani111 Oscar worthy
@@kirani111 Myron Bosling is one of my favorites.
Masterpiece of a movie. A big screen experience, visuals, sound, everything.
It's Denis Villeneuve. You guys just reacted to his DUNE trailer, lmao. And this movie is cinema. If Blade Runner was a flawed masterpieces, Blade Runner 2049 is a perfect sequel & a masterpiece. And this movie is a better movie than the first one.
I'm surprised you saw the short stories of F&F, but You guys didn't watch the three prequel short stories for this movie inorder to connect some dots, like how the black out happened.
Also, you guys need to watch Arival as well. Another Denis Villeneuve masterpiece.
"just reacted to his DUNE trailer" - I can only find the reaction to the old trailer. Are you sure they reacted to the new one?
@@toh786 They didn't react to the new trailer because they said it showed too much
@@toh786 But they will be reacting to the movie when it comes out
This is one of the best movies ever made IMO
At least one of the best post 2000.
YESSSSSS When I saw this leave the poll I was SOOO sad!!! I was hoping it would be a crew pick you have made my day!
Same!
I went to the theater to watch this. Wanna know how many people were there to watch this movie?
Less than 15.
Yeah...
It's criminal how this movie was looked over by the masses. But then again, not many people are into watching great art.
It just shows you how people tend to gravitate towards the blockbuster movies that are action packed that give you what you want.
Blade Runner 2049 is not such a film. It's a visceral journey and an experience. You are merely a witness. I was in awe of how the movie was made and it reinvigorated my love for filmmaking and it reminds you of the pursuit that a director goes through to develop and morph an idea into his vision. Something that is singular and truly their own. A modern day magnum opus.
And Roger Deakins shot the film. What more do i need to say...
I love watching films, and I love both 'Blade Runner' (The Final Cut) and 'Blade Runner 2049', though, even as a "Blade Runner buff" myself, these films are hard to recommend. I wish everyone loved movies like I do.
I love this movie because it feels like it tries really hard to stay true to the original. It tries to keep the same gritty/dirty tone of the original, but soften it just a little bit. The cinematography of this game is absolutely gorgeous. The color scheme, the mood, the characters. I just love how this movie flows so well from the original. It's some terrific storytelling that really makes you feel as if you're clever early on only to have the rug pulled out from under you by the end. This movie is so damn good.
So sad you guys watched it in such circonstances, I love you, like a lot, love your channel, love your personalities and all... But THAT movie, is an ambient movie, an experience, made to be watch in a dark, silent room with volume at 200%..!!! Keep up and thank your for sharing your passion
a movie should be good no matter how its watched.
@@Commander_Shepard. Never said the movie was bad in their condition... I said it would've been a better experience.

Cinematography and music in this film is brilliant.
This was like seeing a Christmas present pop up in my subscription list. My favorite movie I’ve ever seen! Absolutely love every second of this, thanks for putting up this content for free you guys! Legendary!
This was a movie you had to experience in IMAX, it was such a phenomenal experience.
I guess many people were not ready for this movie at its release, as it failed at box office.
But for me, its among the best Sci-fi movies of all time.
The greatest sequel ever made. My absolute fave film of the 2010s.
This is my favorite movie of the last decade!! Die hard fan of the original for so long and the fact that this lived up to it is a movie miracle!!
You guys really need to get into Denis Villeneuve, arguably the best In the business.
Still the most beautifully shot movie I've ever seen. A masterclass in lighting, cinematography, sound design and editing.
I'm shocked you guys don't know Denis Villeneuve! This film and Arrival have made me so excited for the upcoming Dune.
3 hours drive to see this in an IMAX theater. No regrets.
Every time I rewatch this movie if grows on me even more. I already liked it from the first time I watched it but I think someday it'll reach the level of how much I love the first Blade Runner (the proper cut).
One of my favorite films of all time. Thank you for covering it.
I can't believe a film as incredible as this one was a commercial flop. I had my doubts when it was announced but I can confidently say I think I like this one better than the original. Very rare for a sequel.
We need more movies like this. This is art. It feels like such a realized world
Love this movie! They managed to exceed the original in almost everyway which I would have thought impossible before seeing it myself.
I remember going to watch this at the cinema with some school mates. And the sea wall scene was just amazing, the sound send vibrations through your ribcage and you could feel everything with the base.
Aaron: man she's getting wet now"
*crickets*
Me: NO ONE?!!!
Had the opportunity to watch this in imax few days before it left. One of the best films I watch with extraordinary sound design and music. Especially the scene wifh Harrison Ford and Ryan fighting each other in that showroom.
What a fantastic movie this is. Seriously underrated.
This might be one of my favorite movies ever. I just recently watched it with my dad and I was blown away. Visuals are off the chart, great acting, a imo perfect continuation to the first movie, music that gave me goosebumps the whole end-part of the movie, a great twist that I did not see coming at all and a nice (kinda) closing ending. I was so fucking bummed that I didnt know the blade runner universe when this was released in theaters, that mustve been such a freaking great watch.
Favourite film of the year it came out so many amazing sequences, details, the score, the sound, just amazing
I saw this in IMAX when it came out and has been by far the best movie I’ve ever seen with the cinematography and soundtrack plus a great plot.
Check out his film Prisoners. Edit: All the director's films are amazing, but that one stands out for me.
you know it's not a bad idea to do SOME research, how do you not even know the director of the movie you just watched yet alone remember the director of the first one? Staying through at least some of the credits might help too. Let the movie wash over you, let your experience of the film simmer a little...glad that you guys enjoyed it though.
i genuinely gasped seeing the title of this video, what an incredible sequel
Deckard is not a replicant because otherwise he could not live that long, the replicants in his time could only live a couple years.
He was an experiment. the replicants with 4 year life spans were the regular commercial models being sold to customers. the 4 year span was a designed feature for safety.
@@werdle92 but there is no evidence of this, I appreciate it as a theory but all there is to prove it is the unicorn dream sequence that Ridley decided to add in after the movie was already out
They don't know who Denis Villeneuve is? lol
This is one of the greatest and most beautiful films ever made. Also the best CGI ever put to film. A masterful film.
Blade runner has been my favorite film since I was little. Being born on the mid 80s. I was so hesitant to see this film. I watched Prisoners one night and I said, ok! That film was amazing let’s see what this director has done with this film. My only regret is not experiencing this in IMAX. I F’ing love 2049! Dare I say I like it more than the first film. The soundtrack is outstanding, Roger Deacons cinematography is perfect, everything was so beautifully done. So much respect and admiration for the first film but this film just sent me through the stratosphere. Especially the sea wall scene when K is saving Deckard on the beach and that music is kicking in. I had tears and goosebumps. Love your guys reaction! Thank you and it was a pleasure watching this experience with you
got so excited when i saw u did this one ♥
Both Blade Runners are fucking masterpieces.
One of the greatest movies imo.
Wow shocked you guys haven’t seen this yet. One of my favorite movies. Can’t wait to see what you guys think!
Criminally underrated movie. Every shot could be hung in an art gallery
There are so many other good films that this director also directed that you should check out. Personal favourites from him is Arrival and Sicario
The Blade Runner movies are science-fiction at its finest!
The opening city shot on way to lapd and maybe other city shots were actual large miniature model sets that they added cgi to in post , pretty cool video of behind the scenes available on youtube
Oh man you don't know how happy I am! This film is an Artistic Masterpiece, Hands down! I will go as far to say that this is even better than the first film, for me. It's one of my all time favourite films! a modern classic. So happy for this reaction, this is a great, great film from start to finish.
he directed Arrival, and the new Dune movie, between others, obvi.
deakins cinematography is on another level.
Wallace was just taunting Deckard and trying to make him doubt his humanity, but Deckard says "I know what's real".
8:26 - thats it.
Had the pleasure to watch this on the big screen, I'd pay a second time if they put it in theaters again, simply beautiful
I think have mixed feelings about the fact that they don't know who Denis Villeneuve is. 😒
All the smoke and ash in Reno today giving me Blade Runner vibes.
You guys have to see Baby driver, 22 jump street, Snowpiercer, Birdman, The imitation game, Hackshaw ridge, Ford V Ferrari...
I will keep adding if I can remember more🙃...
I've been waiting for this...
Nobody from the Blind Wave crew likes K's coat? This is the first reaction video I've seen where the reactors didn't mention his coat 😄
This is such a visual stunning movie
love the atmosphere of this movie.
My favorite movie, loved seeing your reaction! Just so you know, the volume of your voices is all over the place, sometimes I can't hear, other times I almost get deaf.
I feel it a better experience watching the shorts then watch 2049 too have better understanding going in
You have to since they do bring up the blackout, you meet Wallace and Batista's character beforehand.
This movie is a modern day masterpiece.
One of my favorite movies ever made!
First time I watched this movie was on a dark plane and I don't know why but it was the perfect atmosphere to watch it
I’m so glad someone finally got to watch this movie without knowing about Ford ahead of time. I always thought the movie would be just a bit better if you didn’t see the trailer or posters
One of the greatest films ever made! And my favourite cinema experience!
Had never seen the original but the night 2049 came out they a double feature, Final cut then 2049 with a 10 minute intermission. Great way to see both
You guys should really see A Cure for Wellness, it's a fantastic psychological horror movie that flew under the radar when it came out.
Love this movie. Villeneuve is my favorite director in Hollywood at the time, and Deakins is the greatest in his work. Shame u do not recognize Denis, watch Prisoners, Sicario and Arrival! Cannot wait for his Dune.
Literally one of the greatest films ever made.
Pretty surface-level observation but to add to the discussion, i feel like the point of Joy was for the story to ask us the question "If you can't tell, does it even matter?". If Joe loves Joy, does it really matter that she's not real? His love would be real either way. Just like if you can't tell someone is a replicant, does it matter that they're a replicant? Are they not still people? They breath and feel and hurt and love like we do, their experiences are still real.
12:40 His reflection appears to be looking at the back of her head…and it turns out the memories he saw were HERS. K is literally looking into her head. This movie is FULL of details like that.
