BLADE RUNNER 2049... (spoilers)...

Just went and saw it again. Some of my favorite ID aspects:

  • Dr Stelline’s ‘CAD mouse’ for building memories - like two big camera lenses mated together with buttons where the fingers rest
  • the ‘raw data’ DNA viewer, with audio feedback in American accented Japanese. Seriously what is it about dystopia movies where design and ergonomics are as bad as they can be?!? Or is it because they are not off-world, where everything is like Wall-E Axiom easy.
  • The wearied sequence of handles and buttons K uses to start up his v.2 Spinner
  • seeing Deckard’s original Spinner
  • the absolute negation of anything ‘technological’ in the Wallace HQ…they have surpassed tech so far that its completely serene
  • gestural interfaces to control autonomous surveillance drones
  • interior of the Wallace spinner-transport, kind of 2001 or James Bond villain retro
