I'll go watch it again tomorrow (Tuesday) with a friend of mine. I actually can't wait. The imagery and themes of the movie are still stuck in my head. Doesn't happen too often that a movie leaves such an impression on me. And it happens even less often that I'll go watch a movie again in theater.
Anyways, I was afraid that the movie might not do super well at the box office for various reasons (the movie's length, its pace, its R-rating, etc) but that's pretty much what happen and it kinda saddens me. It cost quite a lot of money to make it and I'm afraid if this doesn't do well there won't be another big-budget arthouse science fiction movie for a long while. I didn't expect there to be another Blade Runner movie after this anyways but Villeneuve will probably have to go back to movie with smaller budgets again because I doubt he'll change his style. Or at least I hope he won't change it.
And yet Transformers 5, Pirates of the Caribbean 5 and the The Mummy remake all made 100s of millions of bucks internationally. Not really buying the whole 'the movie's too long' argument either. Every single Transformers movie is that long and certainly not as good. Transformers 5 was critically slammed, film goers hated it too but hey, it made 550 million bucks worldwide anyways. People keep complaining about shitty movies and yet they sorta keep asking for them by buying tickets for them. Oh well...so I guess it'll be Transformers 6 then. And 7. And 8. And...
