Has anyone noticed Tricky @1'38"? TBH I'm a little wary of this one. I love both ScarJo and the original animes but Aeon Flux looked good too in the trailers. Also, it feels odd that the characters aren't japanese anymore. Wait and see...

I liked this; another intense modern western from the director of Sicario.

Awesome trailer... I hope it is not too far away from the former anime (which I loved !)
.. and the Depeche Mode "Enjoy The silence" revival sound track makes it more enjoyable :)
Can't wait to watch it now... /me going to re-watch the anime... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGQvn7yCuSc

Yeah, this sounds like a cool version. I hope it's in the actual movie and not just in the trailer. Anyone knows who did it?

Westworld

Uhh holy shit this is the most impressive show I've seen on TV for quite a while... I'm sure some of the consciousness/AI stuff would be open to criticism, but it sounds to me like they at least tried to get it right in relation to current discussion on these issues. Astounding production value, compelling script and fascinating dialogue (Jonathan Nolan is a genius), excellent cast, and a total mindfuck on top of that (I'm very partial to "mindfuck scifi"). I've heard the new Black Mirror is great but even it will have a hard time being insane scifi after this.

I wasn't too excited about it since I never was a big fan of the original film to begin with, but your post has raised my interest significantly. Thanks Tronyn. On a similar AI theme, the swedish show �kta M�nniskor (Real Humans) is a must-see.

Black Mirror And Westworld Are Great

Seen all of both. Black Mirror has some excellent moments, but Westworld is shockingly good. So so so so well crafted, production quality through the roof. Brilliant twists and so much depth... I've watched most of the episodes at least twice, and going back the 2nd time, there are so many hints of whats to come later on.
Everything holds together perfectly, and I love how they wrapped it up by the final episode. They told a complete story and still you desperately want more. If you even vaguely like scifi, AI, great dialogue, Nolan brothers films... what are you doing not watching this! Oh and it's 9.2 on imbb... the last episode is a 9.9. Nine point nine!

Arrival.

Late to watching this, but bloody brilliant. Everything works well, characters, story, and particularly the realistic unfolding of earlier events. Some elegant and iconic images too.
FOTY by a long way.

So I went to see Rogue One yesterday night but the theater was fully booked, so I bought a ticket for Arrival instead thanks to the comments in this thread. Needless to say I wasn't disappointed one bit. Great film! The music was excellent as well, to the point of making me think about grabbing the soundtrack album.
I'm still pumped for Rogue One.

main theme was very distracting to me because I knew it already but couldn't remember where from until after the movie when I immediately googled it.
actually quite a a fitting feeling, all things considered.

Have any of you guys ever read this book?
https://www.inverse.com/article/7110-remembering-blade-runner-2-the-novelized-sequel-to-the-movie
I never did because Phil Dick = my absolute fav writer and K.W. Jeter = an insipid laborer who committed some uninspired & uninspiring Star Wars novels. The article seems to indicate I was right in not reading it and I hope the upcoming film isn't based on it. But considering the filmmaker, I guess there's little chance of getting a half-assed quasi-remake that would be an insult to both the first movie and the book.
