What's the antithesis of Arrested Development, Firefly or The Big Lebowski? Those may never have 'found their audience' but over time seemed to recognised by everyone. What are the deep cuts that you liked but it feels like everyone has completely forgotten they even existed.

Blade Runner 2049. Extremely highly rated, just wasn't popular enough

I watched Blade Runner 2049 about half year after its release, and about 15 years after I watched the firs movie. My reaction was "I do not understand all the criticism of 2049 - it is a good movie". And then I decided to rewatch the first movie. And then I understood. And that's despite of the fact that the first movie is really old.

People just don't have the patience anymore to soak in a mood and atmosphere while a story slowly unfolds.

I feel like it also wasn't marketed at all. The only reason I knew about it is because I check what's playing in IMAX every month.

I never saw a single ad or any hype for it

I must say that I felt the atmosphere was forced in 2049. In the original, the atmosphere was part of the setting and not lingered over. 2049 forced the audience to look at it, “soak” in it as you say, and I thought it was detrimental to the progress of the film. JMO, of course. Still a great movie.

I missed seeing the original in theaters (just a bit too young, then only got to see it on VHS) but caught a theatrical showing with my son and his friend just before 2049 came out and man, two great flicks to see on the big screen. TV just do not do these types of movies justice.

It's a worthy successor to the original, which is remarkable.

Blade Runner PC game by westwood was also amazing, but didnt seem to get any traction.

Fucking fantastic game, though. Everyone should play it.. theres an enhanced now, so you don't have to do the weirdo workaround shit with the 16bit installer.

Like, it’s fine, but I don’t feel like it was anything special?

If you've only seen it once, I'd recommend a rewatch. I feel like subsequent viewings just get better.
