The trailer looks really cool and I think it will be a great movie. The director always delivers and he will with this one.
On that note, it doesn't really feel like a Blade Runner movie at all though. It feels different and almost a stand alone film, which isn't a bad thing. I still think it has traces of that "bad remake that doesn't match the original" elements to it but I think it will be better than the crap we've seen with the remake to Total Recall and others.
I just wonder why they couldn't keep the worn look of the future in the first Blade Runner? In that future, things actually looked as though they were used. In this one, everything looks right out of the box new. Some of the world looks as though it was created by Apple. The noir element is totally gone.
And did I see hints of an underground tribe of people sub-plot? That the big secret is that replicants are living in the sewers or something? Or perhaps that everyone is a replicant and the last remaining humans live in tunnels? It looks interesting but I am surprised that a film of this caliber would resort to such a tired plot, if true. The secret people living underneath society has already been done.
Yes it was. Probably for the brief nudity and extreme violence. Although I do think one character can be seen smoking in one scene, and you know how that drives the MPAA crazy.
R ratings tend to be more often from pandering to non-adult tendencies.
I hear you, and you're not wrong on 90% of movies these days. R-rating tends to mean adolescent humor of the DEADPOOL variety. But I'm hoping this movie will prove an exception to the rule.

Well, nobody cared about movie smoking in the 80s. Must have been R-rated for violence, but that must have been barely.

By the standards of 1982, BLADE RUNNER was very violent. Rachel shoots Leon in the head. Deckard shoots Pris twice and she dies in shrieking convulsions with big, bloody holes in her. Batty kills Tyrell by shoving his thumbs through his eye sockets (some cuts of the movie actually showed this).
It may seem fairly tame by today's standards, but in 1982 it earned its R-rating. My parents wouldn't let me see it, no matter how much I begged.
I guess I'm comparing it to pre-MPAA movies like "Bonnie and Clyde" and "Jaws."
It was different in the '70s. "PG" back then was more equivalent to PG-13 or even R-rating today. I grew up with kids whose parents would ONLY let them watch G-rated movies. Most Bond movies were PG, and I knew people who thought Bond movies were borderline porn.
