Holy shit this movie is pure art. The visuals and aesthetic are spot on for Cyberpunk and the sound direction is so good. Literally every set had me engaged because how good they looked. The scene with K just going around the city with these big ass logo's of dead and alive companies was so good. Visually, this movie is a masterpiece.

The whole plot of K finding a purpose and then losing it to then making up one himself is great. Pretty similar to Detroit become human. The plot kept me hooked throughout. The whole section in the ruins of Las Vegas was peak. The pacing was also so much better than the first movie.

And then there is the Ryan Gosling is literally me propaganda which I fully subscribe to. K feels very similar as to his lack of purpose and being stuck in a society that fucking sucks. The AI Girlfriend thing has gained a whole new meaning since ChatGPT dropped. God I love this k-pain scene.

The ending was great. K did the most human thing possible after breaking his shackles even when he was not HIM hence proving that every single replicant is a living being but lack purpose and memories which shape their personalities.

And Jared Leto somehow gave his best performance in this movie. This is his peak after Paul Allen.

    They don't really answer the question so it's upto the viewer about how to perceive it. I personally believe that she's ChatGPT on the inside. Then again, it's entirely possible that she became fully sentient and all their relationship actually became real.
