2036: Nexus Dawn – Blade Runner 2049 Prequel Short

As explained by director Denis Villeneuve, 2036: Nexus Dawn is a small collection of stories that take place in a time period between the end of the original Blade Runner (2019) and the new Blade Runner (which takes place in 2049). The film is directed by Luke Scott (Yeah, that’s Ridley Scott plugging his son into shit he’s working on again). Enjoy!

Blade Runner 2049

Pretty bleak, no? People who know me personally know that I don’t have a very bright history with Blade Runner. I fell asleep 6 times while trying to watch it (on different occasions of course) and I only appreciated it the 7th time I saw it. While I loved the book, I found the film exceptionally boring. I loved the performance of Rutger Hauer and that’s what’s given me an appreciation for it over time.

I tried again to watch Blade Runner and I just can't finish it. This is my 6th attempt. Is there something wrong with me?
