compared to the first blade runner. was it because the weather was cold or was the population depleted or did the director hold back?
share*fewer.
But seriously, I had to check that this wasn't filmed during the #covid19 pandemic.
I suspect that it was a director decision, and having only seen it at home on telly, I'd love to see it on a massive screen.
I bet all that space looks good on, well, all that (screen) space.
well , in the book (of the original) there was mass immigration to the "off world colonies" and the weak / feeble / poor / undesirables were left behind , hence the general decline of the city and all the virtually empty grand old apartment buildings shown in the film.
and the sequel is after 50 more years of that
Agreed. Not to mention 50 years of people choosing sex bots or virtual girlfriends over breeding.
It would be hilarious if they did a spin off set on one of the major colony worlds, and it was a bright, happy place, with happy families and optimistic societies. and it turned out that 99 percent of the human population lives like that, and Earth, where the first two movies took place, are just the worst places in the universe, ie like filming a movie set "in America" and the entire film is set in the homeless camps of la.
