Blade Runner: Black Out 2022

A Blade Runner Lo-fi ASMR experience.

One of three short films serve as prequels to Blade Runner 2049.

They need to adapt this into a full season tv show.

This is by far my most favorite piece of the Blade Runner films.

A great prequel to Blade Runner 2049 that expands the universe well. Visuals are absolutely amazing and adds to the story well. Too bad this one was so short.

Tbh nothing much to say here a 15 min short on the origin of the Blackout which was a catastrophic global event in the Blade Runner universe that led to the the fall of the Tyrell Corporation.

The story was alright alot of things left unanswered but you could make out some parts. The animation was flawless with a respectable artstyle and the music choices were amazing. We honestly didn't get to know much about the characters so I can't say much for them either.

Overall an enjoyable short flim that was fine for the most part. If you just wanna watch more Blade Runner then this it.

It's 2022. Tyrell is producing the new Nexus 8 series with a natural lifespan. They are indeed more human than human. Human supremacy movements rise up to hunt down Replicants using registry databases. The Replicants rebel against their human masters attacking the databases including the use of an EMP. The resulting blackout leads to the prohibition of Replicant production and the end of the Tyrell Corporation. It's over a decade before Wallace Corp starts manufacturing a new breed of Replicants.

This is very much like the animated shorts in Animatrix. It helps paint a picture of this movie universe and fills out some plot elements connecting the original 1982 movie to the upcoming sequel. It taps into the old movie to prepare fans for the new movie. I can't explain why seeing the Pan Am logo feel so exhilarating. This is good for both plot and for stylistic reengagement.

I loved this movie. But once I watched it per se and not as a sequel. And I think this one is far better on many aspect (easthetically, actors, etc) than it's elder. The original was cult (overrated, IMO, even when it was released) and this one won't ... but it's a better movie.
