Seriously? You have never seen Blade Runner?
What the f*** is wrong with you...go watch it, right now.
You sir no longer have the right to call yourself a movie nerd. Consider your nerd card revoked.
Sci-fi, not normally a fan. Two genres, period pieces and six-fi. It takes a special movie in those genres for me to like, or even see. Other than the new Star Treks, never seen an episode not movie other than Rath of Khan, which I didn't like. I'll eventually watch Bladerunner though.
Check it out. It is an impressive movie when you think of when it was actually made.
Looking forward to this.
Saw the movie and read the book it's based on Do Androids Dream of Electric sheep.
I think anyone who enjoyed the story themes in WestWorld would find this interesting.

I still haven't watched Westworld.
Any show that sells me heaps of nudity without showing the full hog, is obviously affiliated with Trump, or people who kick puppies.
Wondering if this will borrow more from Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep or other Philip K. Dick stories like Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said.
It makes me think of Ghost in the Shell, but much more refined in paying attention to lighting and color. I think Cyberpunk is supposed to have a Noir look and GotS didn't have that consistently.
Aside from that comparison, this looks and sounds great so far. Very curious to see how this film score shapes up under Johann Johannson.

I've been speculating on whether there could be an overlap or crossover between the Scott's ALIEN and Bladerunner. In the original, Deckard goes after Nexus 6 Replicants and also meets a prototype Rachel who might be considered a Nexus 7.
In Prometheus, we have a more artificial series DAVID 8. Even these 'Androids' seem grown or organic almost like cyborgs eating food or drinking milk which they seem to actually bleed if injured.
I'm probably way off, but just thought this might point to an interesting side to these stories. It would be weird to see Weyland or Yutani referenced in this movie though.
