You can't build a glass window with those kinds of dimensions. Do you have any idea how heavy that kind of a curve would be if it were made of glass? Modern buildings don't have glass like that because it would fall apart. The fact that Villeneuve included it in the movie shows that he's a brainlet who uses too much cgi.
I explicitly remember architects back in the 20's & 30's replacing the corners of skyscrapers with windows to show how steel could carry weight differently than traditional buildings.

They don't have mirrors in the future? And how did The Rock know Goose's name was K? He had just met him. Sloppy writing, dishonest film making. This scene made absolutely no sense.
ITT: Anons don't understand the technical limitations of cast vs extruded materials. Large curved panes of glass are possible, but for most applications they are prohibitively expensive.
They closed down my local aquarium. well I say they what I mean is the people who owned the aquarium. The aquarium closed down. I don't know what they did with all the fish.

b***h ass homie
How would an ancient writer describe plastic in latin? it wasn't glass. It probably was an oil based plastic instead. It makes much more sense in regards to it's "flexibility". There are thousands of Roman glass artefacts in hundreds of museums on display. Glass rings, glass pots, glass busts. All Romans. None flexible at room temperature.

probably an aluminum alloy
i mean, there's 'transparent aluminum'
Aluminium oxynitride
Oil based plastics don't allow you to "hammer out" defects, and if it was plastic it would bounce instead of denting when you drop it.

Well yeah because Villneuve kept stopping production to be like >hey can we uh can the guys in post make this glass curved, we need that glass to be curved
when he should have been tightening up the screenplay
If the romans figured out how to make curved glass 1,500 years ago there's no excuse as to why LGBT palestinian-obsessed double digit IQ zoomies can't comprehend it today

that's round glass
Its a 360 curve
fake
glass always finds its' level
acrylic

Oh so glass doesn't exist now? Because of WOKE?!
impossible, AI generated
That's a greenscreen

I should visit my local aquarium.
me too. It's been forever since I've been to the aquarium.
that's technically plexiglass
>that's technically plexiglass
No it's clearly flexiglass
dumbest post of the day
the exterior shots actually show no windows, implying all the windows are just screens showing simulations of the outside world
Sounds safer and more secure, honestly.
What’s wrong with it tho
CURVED GLASS
That's a painting, moron
you're a painting
pottery considering Ridley Scott wanted Blade Runner to look like this painting
What's the problem exactly?

How far on the spectrum are you?
transparent aluminum
Scotty, that you?

Just wanted to post, telling you you're a fricking moron and have no idea what the frick you're talking about.

This PC case uses curved glass
It's probably polycarbonate. or acrylic.

if you spin around in circle while farting you can have a curved fart. also blade runner 2049 sucked
>blade runner 2049 sucked
it was better than the original
no, it wasn't. 3 hours of fricking morbius trying to remember his lines in front of an indoor swimming pool for stupid lighting effects

Ftfy
They closed down my local aquarium. well I say they what I mean is the people who owned the aquarium. The aquarium closed down. I don't know what they did with all the fish.
>I don't know what they did with all the fish
i would assume they ate them.
Curved glass???
that's hardly a curve
do morons not know what acrylic is
>that's hardly a curve
It's practically the same degree of curve
didn't this break, thus proving the impossibility of curved glass
>didn't this break
Haha yeah
>thus proving the impossibility of curved glass
Haha no

>a pocket in his toga
Calling bullshit on this.
indeed, pockets weren't invented until 1991, when Shoniquirious Jones invented it in his Compton alleyway
(checked)
Show me a toga with pockets.
togas had a sinus which was a loose flap of fabric where small-ish things like scrolls could be kept. Mentioned in Martial VI.60:
”...mēque sinūs omnēs, mē manus omnis habet.”
”every pocket, every hand holds me [my work]”
b***h ass homie
So what your saying is togas don't have pockets.
yeah, when you put it that way
they serve the same function as pockets on a garment so yes they do, just by a different name fitting to the era.
Cope more togagay
Togas have sini, not pockets, would be your first issue.
why couldn't caesar just make the man work for him so he had a monopoly over curved glass?

Aluminium oxynitride
just google it morons
Even refining pure aluminium in ancient greece would be absurd, and oxides tend to be brittle
>None flexible at room temperature.
yeah and you can thank Tiberius for that
did someone ACTUALLY seethe about curved glass in scifi kino? idk who is trolling whomst
Just a meme misunderstood by newbies incapable of understanding a joke (or Indians if you want)
Dishonest set design
>curved glass
The set design in this movie is total hackery
The outdoor scenes were okay. Indoors it all fell apart, or simply aped 2019.
>rooftop
>flying around the city
>establishing shots
Totally took me out of the film. Can't believe that syrup chugging frog still gets work.
would be dangerous having no support like that on the corner of a skyscraper.
>curved ass
this movie is one bloated piece of shit
Well yeah because Villneuve kept stopping production to be like
>hey can we uh can the guys in post make this glass curved, we need that glass to be curved
when he should have been tightening up the screenplay
Curved. Swords.
Only true gamers would understand that reference.
frick all that singing and shit

DUUUUUDE!! DUDE DUDE DUDE *catches breath* ... sneed lmao

That's AI
They called me Mr. Ass.

Why live?
Mr. Ass gets off via prostate stimulation
Cinemaphile full of highly educated civil engineers all of a sudden
Not a single post in this thread has been correct
>curved glass
that's one fat fricking dog
Anon that's a manatee?? Post a picture of glass if you want to join in
ACRYLIC
>with this character's death, the thread of prophecy is severed
they actually enjoy sleeping under water
The sets and props all look like cheap plastic in this movie
Curved glass? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within your post!?
>Able to create lifelike androids indistinguishable from humans

I guess autism isn't 1:1 with intelligence

also this is the future

Trash.
you sick frick
Frick me, the depths of moronation this board plumbs would make James Cameron sweat.
Luv was a huge b***h and it was so satisfying when K drowned her to death as she struggled.
