I have reasonably high expectations because the creative people involved, from Hampton Fancher to Denis Villeneuve and Harrison Ford, not to mention the hundreds involved in the costumes, sets, practical and visual effects, will make this a visually arresting film which should not shit over Ridley Scott's sci-fi noir masterpiece.

My hope is that it lives up to those high expectations and does not sully the Blade Runner name. If I can use a Star Wars analogy, perhaps being one of the sequels and not one of the prequels.

I think both expectations and hopes have risen as I've heard more about the film from those who have seen it and seen more clips from trailers and online reviews.

Any chance you could go back to adding scores to these admittedly quite cool posts, b_e?

I'll see what I can do.

Dick is poorly served in the visual front. Like Lovecraft. So the semi decent ones you tend to go overboard with. Well, I do anyhow ... the trailer for it did suggest style over substance, even with who is at the helm.
Regardless, it does scream "cinema viewing" imo.

While not quite as good as the original it's a fantastic movie, that's well written and directed and has to be seen on the big screen,like the first it has great soundtrack with stunning visuals, at 2hrs 45 minutes it might be a tad on the long side, also like the first it's quite light in action and is about building the story, like the first it explores what it means to be human and how those who are seen as less than human are treated by society, so if you don't like the first I highly doubt you will like this. Also if you are expecting to see a lot of Ford you will be disappointed, where two women in front of me who when it finished the first thing they said is it was the most boring thing they had ever seen an don't be buying it on DVD, I do expect this to be quite common response with the average viewer as heard the same things with arrvial. 9/10

The Pit and the Pendulum
Set during the Spanish Inquisition, the story is about a baker and his who are both tortured by Torquemada. It's up to the baker to save his wife from burning for witchcraft.
It's a very enjoyable watch. Some fantastic sets and great acting from Jeffrey Combes, Lance Henrikson and a nice cameo from Oliver Reed. However the performance of our hero is awful, but luckily enough it's ignorable.co.
7/10
