Just watched this film yesterday for the very first time.
Such a gorgeous and compelling movie, very intense. Neither better nor inferior to the first Blade Runner movie, just 100% different and standalone.
You can't truly compare them. They are two different movies and I don't think it's fair to compare them. I would say BD 1982 is a timeless, groundbreaking masterpiece wherever BD 2049 is a modern masterwork --- not "revolutionary" in any way but surely an awesome and fantastic cinematic achievement.
I would like to think that BD 2049 is a spin-off and not a sequel.
By the way, some plot issues I "spotted":
WARNING: SPOILERS
1- How many memories of Ana did K store in his mind? He told Deckard that her memories were the "best memories" he got...
2- Does Ana know to be the daughter of two replicants? (or the daughter of one female replicant?). She doesn't recognize Deckard at all, but I guess she clearly remembered when the replicants brought her to the San Diego Orphanage... or so I guess.
3- Once people would have scanned Ana... would they be eventually able to create "reproductive replicants"? I guess so. Because Ana is supposed to be a "revolution", despite her genetic anomaly.
4- How did Ana acquire the wood-made horse toy coming from Las Vegas? When Deckard left her (and she was a baby), he hadn't established in Las Vegas yet... right? So weird.
5- Is K's DNA similar to Ana's? I guess not. When K searchs into the DNA database, he just discovers the two DNA files of the "twins", but one of them is 100% fake --- as we later find out.
6- Was the snow falling on K (at the very end) generated by Ana? Holograms?
Thank you so much.
K is outside. It's just snow. He dies alone, his job done, no one around to hear him any kind of monologue. In the end he lived and died for purpose.
