What do you Grexer sci-fi fans think of Blade Runner 2049?

I thought it was a little too long, but was otherwise a worthy successor to
the original in tone and emotional impact. Ryan Gosling was great as K and
Harrison Ford acted more than I've seen him do in years.

After viewing, there were a number of science-fiction issues that were not
completely satisfying, like what would be the point of designing a slave that
requires personal time, living space, possessions, etc.?

But while the lights are down, it's a world you melt into. Quite a trip.

I miss Roy Batty, though. "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe...."

The power trip is elevated with a sense of equality?

I can see a few custom jobs for rich egomaniacs, but wouldn't it be expensive
for a mass-market model?

I've often wondered the same thing about cat owners.  My conclusion is
the illusion "I don't live alone"

There would definitely be demand for replicant house-mates, but why one like
K that lives on his own with apparently no owner?

At this moment I am binge-watching Westworld on the airplane entertainment
system. It's a lot of fun. I think the WW "hosts" are more realistic than the
2049 replicants. The hosts' "private lives" are just a programmed loop
designed to present the guests with opportunities for interaction, not because
the hosts have a need for leisure time.

One day, Wal*Mart greeters may be like this

I would shop at WalMart if I were greeted by a robot that looked like Evan
Rachel Wood.
