  1. 2049 was a forgettable attempt to copy the elements that made the original memorable

  2. With Alien and Blade Runner he explored interesting concepts that made the viewer think and ponder but his latter films while technically good don't have much real substance in them to have critics and film buffs discussing and debating the characters and themes long after. Or they are pretentious but hollow like the Prometheus series.

  3. The reveal in 2049 aside, I always thought the idea of Decker being a human or replicant was not meant to be a literal one. It was to cast doubt on what it means to be human and what it means to be alive. I like the idea that the "human" tracking down the "non-humans" is more robotic and lifeless than the ones he is retiring. The movie is a more of a metaphor on what it means to truly be alive as well as the acceptance of inevitable death that comes with that life.
