This is going to sound pretentious, but I think some people just don’t enjoy the artistic aspects of film making beyond plot and action. It can be the most beautiful, awe-inspiring imagery ever put to film, and if there isn’t a clear plot and a love interest and a chase scene, they just aren’t interested.
Interstellar is another movie that’s polarizing like that. To me, watching it in imax was just an overwhelming, powerful experience, but about half of the people I saw the movie with hated it because the plot is sort of a mess.
- Udik 8y agoI agree with you, but I didn't find BR 2049 visually appealing at all. Part of it is just rehashing the same stuff already seen in the original- just more artificial, less dirty and chaotic, with a monotonous palette. Looking at some low res clips from youtube I'm actually wondering whether it's the movie or just a videogame. And, as any videogame, it needs multiple levels with different environments: so the main character is wandering around, and each section of the movie is actually clearly delimited by a different palette- I guess some heavy-handed filter applied, instagram style: grey-greenish for the city, red for the desert, light orange for the interior of Wallace Corporation, blue-grey for the snowy place, etc. It's a videogame aesthetics, something that places itself comfortably in the "fantasy worlds" section of the current popular culture.
