Although Blade Runner has been receiving good reviews since it was released, but the box office rushed, so after watching it, I was very disappointed. The end of the film clearly tells the audience that this is endless. The declining human beings, the Nexus8 that wants to revolutionize, and the Nexus9 that Wallace produces absolutely obey orders, conflicts will surely erupt in the future, triggering drastic changes in the entire human society. But I guess I can’t see it anymore, maybe it's another sequel that won't be seen until decades later.
It's normal for the box office to flop. This kind of movie is difficult to watch for people who are not science fiction fans or those who are used to watching action special effects blockbusters. The director and screenwriter must have overestimated the audience’s ability to appreciate sci-fi movies. If he wants to make more money, he would not choose 2049 to shoot, but 2022, but he chose the most commercialized one. An animated short film made in just fifteen minutes. The advantage of shooting 2022 is that it is definitely greater than 2049. First of all, the conflict of the plot is more intense and the scene is more grand. The background of 2022 is that the conflict between humans and Nexus 8 is very serious, and it has reached the point where the human group publicly tortured and killed replicators, and Nexus 8 also rebelled in this situation, using the power outage caused by the nuclear explosion to destroy the files of the replicators. Looking at it this way, 2022 has many attractive elements that science fiction movies should have in the eyes of the public. Although the end of 2049 hints at the coming of war, the layout of the whole movie is very small. Although the alien colony has been mentioned from the first part, the movie does not give a single shot. The plot still revolves around Blade Runner. Hunt down the cloner. The bombing point is that the two previous generations of Nexus7 gave birth to a daughter in an unprecedented way. Most people don't feel much about this explosion, because what appears on the screen is that two normal humans gave birth to a daughter, and then this is a miracle? Is this the leader who will lead the clone to the revolution in the future? This is simply making a fuss. What does it matter whether a person has a soul or not. Therefore, the most critical plot of the whole movie, many people will not take it seriously, because not many people think about what a person is, what is really alive, or that they are not interested in such issues. There is a reason why the human cloning problem is so noisy.
In recent years, the commercial blockbusters in the United States have given people a misconception that aliens and space exploration are science fiction films. This type of movie only stays at the very surface of science fiction, or put on a coat of science fiction, but it still talks about things we are familiar with, such as Star Wars, which is a space family drama. Setting aside stories and worldview settings, showing the development of science and technology is secondary, showing what happens when a civilization develops to a high-tech level, and its social problems, social structure, policies and laws, people's ideological forms, and religious beliefs. This is the important change. Excellent science fiction works, whether it is movies or novels, should have a deep connection with philosophy and sociology. To write a science fiction novel is not enough to be imaginative.
