Why confusing?
I'd love to hear your take on the discussion thread.

Wasn't there some type of dimensional / time loop sort of twist to the movie ? Might have to rewatch , but it seemed a tad hinky to me. That's all. Not in a bad way, of course.

That was integral to the beauty of the story. Since you've already seen it, check out our discussion thread, see if anything resonates.

Hang on to your hats...I just read an article by Joshua Rothkopf, and he gave it 4 out of 5 Stars. He says it is worthy of praise and captures the essence of the original without being repressively derivative.

Oh, I'm getting goosebumps......like Christmas morning.


SGG

Funny, that 5 1/2 years after this thread was started, we're just now seeing trailers.

I hope the anticipation doesn't fall flat. I liked the original, but wasn't crazy about it. I respect what it was, and also what it wasn't. I hope that what set it apart is more in line with what carries over to the sequel, but it's so rare such things happen.

Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull comes to mind. ( sorry, it was just painful to watch )

So many overt clues seem to suggest that he's also a replicant, which I think doesn't make for as good a story.

I think you'll like BR2049. It's not a reboot.
