We finally went to the Blade Runner #SecretCinema in London.
I feared it could be cheap & tacky, as often with cyberpunk.
Instead, I was amazed by this tasteful, thoughtful event. The overall scope of the production is mind-blowing. You can't miss it. Let me give you an idea:

1 - Smartphones concealed, no photos allowed, so use your imagination.
2 - Yes that is an actual press photo of the event.
3 - Yes it really looks that insane when you're there. Yes it's really raining indoor.

Let's talk about the set 💫
• Massive indoor rain wetting shops & people ☔️
• Delicious street food with a twist 🍲🍻
• Thick atmosphere lit by giant ads, genuine CRT monitors & neons 🉐🏮🚦
• Open places like a bar, a police station, a lab, and way more secrets... 🍷🚔🧪

All the actors & staff are in character, even security.
Bartenders, chefs, cops, replicants, activists... We got scolded in the entrance queue by a "cop". Later a random suspicious dude convinced us to buy a few vials of his mauve spicy whisky. It was delicious.

The place is designed like a video game.
Buildings you can enter, "NPCs" to talk with, mini-quests to do, global events triggered for everybody. It can be a bit confusing. I think we easily missed 60-70% of the content available. Some characters of the movie can be seen, too...

All of this puts you in a otherworldly mood.
You start to feel like a part of this world. You're really conditioned when it's finally time to watch Blade Runner together. I was truly moved to see so many fans of the movie. All ages, women & men. It felt special.

It's the final cut of course. The projection is "augmented" live in a beautiful, non-intrusive way. Almost felt like VR. I don't want to spoil, just go there & enjoy. It was easily my best visioning of the movie. And I've seen it like 20 times.
Secret bonus: there is a room where you can take GIFs, so here we are.
Those are not our complete outfits, we removed some layers to eat & speak more easily. What a night ✨

There is now a great video of it.
Best event I've ever attended in my life, easily.
