Also please a good script, because the story for the last movie was terribad
Not a human being either, by the very definition
Wasn’t worth the hype/marketing
It’s basically a cyberpunk Conan.
Nothing like the book though, which is a great action-thriller that should’ve been made by Spielberg in his prime.
it was a rhetorical question, because I know your pasty arse isn’t working any crop fields or slaughter houses
he ran out of money while filming the final shootout and so had to get creative with the edit in post to make up for certain gaps.
Still not a “baby”
In 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.”
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.
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.
His parents cut him off
Maybe if they were replicants, but they’re not.
It’s a very simplistic portrayal for people that have trouble grasping political dynamics.
If you hate immigrants so much then who’s going to pick your crops?
**crickets**
The 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.
A zygote isn’t a baby LOL
The Armand family fortune is said to have been depleted to just a few mil after most of the assets were handed over to the University of California Hammer Museum. And, allegedly, Armie Hammer is cut off from any residuals.
