Blade Runner 2049 looks really good based on this elegant and visually gorgeous trailer. Better yet is Vox's well written blurb about the film that indirectly echoes BRT's long range take on the ever increasing impact of science & tech on society and the world.
Blade Runner’s corporate dehumanization gets even more explicit
Leto’s replicant-whisperer has the first line of dialogue in this trailer, and what he says is telling: Corporations created replicants to be a “disposable workforce.” That dehumanization is prominent as a theme throughout Blade Runner, and 2049 makes it even more explicit. An early shot from the desert world gives us the classic sci-fi “naked bodies in containers” image to reveal the assembly-line element of replication, while virtual images of sexualized women appear in the city’s 3D ads repeatedly throughout the trailer, suggesting that the line between the commodification of these different bodies is a thin one.
This film looks to be a keeper without question.
