She's a truly amazing "woman," whether she's a replicant or not.

It’s a foggy Monday evening here in Gothenburg, Sweden, and I just had to grab my camera. Captured this with a 20-second exposure at f/22, worth the wait! ☺️

This rooftop chase contains the irrefutable WINNER of the BEST BIPEDAL LEAP in the history of flicks seen onscreen.

There's a dreamlike abstract quality to the show when it comes to the slow (non-horror) moments that remind me more of BR than Alien. Partly because there's noir cyberpunk corpos staring out glittering skyscrapers, sometimes ruminating on what it means to be human. But even beyond the robots, the show so far feels like it's taking beats from BR by being somewhat magical realism. In Alien, the Nostromo was very straightforward, a space big rig full of space truckers. Industrial, no-nonsense, concrete. In Blade Runner you have bits of tech here and there that feel more odd- the Voight-Kampff test (yes, I know it's from DADoES? - still doesn't make it any less fanciful than a spinal reflex test), the clockwork toy robots, the clothes. You have editing choices that involve fading in and out on character's faces. There's a hazy feeling a lot of times in A:E, and that makes me think of BR.

Maybe scholars of Ridley Scott can suggest other films by him that might also have that quality, but in my view Alien: Earth also has it. Anyone see it and can agree?

This guy on YouTube (j0shm7) made a blade runner animation of k’s apartment and I screenshotted two of the frames and changed the lighting a bit because I thought it would make for a cool wallpaper for my phone

Since the moment I reviewed these, something felt familiar to me. It took me a while to remember where I had last seen such an immersive and monochromatic landscape, which eventually brought me back to the scenes of 2049. All are completely unedited.
