As Rook Pointed they are only using Genome as well Black Goo to ensure Humanites Survival also Caliee Spaenys Rain is like Ripley not a preachy Girlboss but just a competent character who happens to female .
shareThe worst part is the portrayal of Weyland Yutani colonies as some kind of Soviet gulag where they condemn people to x amount of years in the mines.
In the alien universe, colonies are administered by a government entity known as Colonial Administration. W-Y is just a corporation that builds and supplies the atmospheric processors and employs people to run them as contractors. W-Y does exploit people in the name of profit, but they don’t keep them as indentured servants and they’re not an all-powerful monolith, as they still have to answer to government bureacracies like the ICC. They just have a lot of pull within the government due to their lobbying.
The movie felt like bad fan-fiction by people who didn’t understand the lore.
I like The change of the portrait of Weyland, makes this world much more dark and desperate, Blade Runner style.
shareMaybe if they were replicants, but they’re not.
It’s a very simplistic portrayal for people that have trouble grasping political dynamics.
There are replicants too, in fact I have always thought it's same universe.
Anyway, for me IS realistic Weyland behaves this way with their workers, don't forget this is a depressive corporative dystopy.
It’s alleged that blade runner and Alien shared the same universe. Maybe if this movie had any balls they would’ve made the connection.
The problem is it’s never explained: what is this mining planet, how did these people end up here, how do they plan to get past ICC quarantine with all these diseases they carry, if they hate their lives so bad what’s stopping them from revolting…. It’s just very dumbed down and turns WY into the Galactic Empire from Star Wars, whereas in previous movies the Company was always shown to deny any culpability or direct responsibility for causing deaths, as they would pull the strings in the background.
Well the connection IS there, although in Blade Runner It's said there are only replicants in the space colonies, which has sense because... Why the hell send human to space when you can use droids?
Sadly there isn't any Alien movie which explores the society of this universe...
I think synthetics are expensive to produce and maintain which is why there’s so few of them.
If we assume Blade Runner is a shared universe, replicants are cheaper slave labour for this very reason because they’re essentially test-tube babies with a built-in shelf life, instead of androids.
There is a Kurt Russell film “Soldier” from 1998
that is allegedly a spin-off of Blade Runner and Kurt Russell portrays a military-grade replicant.
But It has never been clear how replicants are inside their bodies, right?
shareIn Blade Runner, replicants are shown to have red blood and are essentially put together using organic body parts grown in labs. Unlike synthetic/androids in Alien, that have some kind of milky white blood and are electronically engineered on the inside with circuits, semi-conductors and wires.
Synthetics are meant to be artificial persons, whereas replicants are human and said to be “more human than human.”
Would be fun if the true reason for the nuclear explosions in Blade Runner 2049 were because a xenomorph infestation beginning in LA & Las Vegas.
shareBoth Blade Runner movies bombed at the box office because they suck. Only freaks on the internet like Blade Runner.
shareThat's the reason the first one IS consideres one of the BEST movies in Cinema Story?
Tell me, also The Thing, Alien and Star wars are only liked by freaks?
Alien and Star Wars didn't bomb at the box office like both Blade Runner movies. Are you so ignorant you didn't know that?
shareWhat does the box Office matters? What matters is that Blade Runner IS considered a classic today and one of the BEST movies ever, as The Thing, that also bombed, are you ignorant of this or what?
shareAccording to chuds its too woke.
