For those previously watched the first installment of Blade Runner or haven’t seen it, it’s safe to say that the latest installment of the Blade Runner franchise is easily one of the best sequels ever made PERIOD! Since this film is directedFor those previously watched the first installment of Blade Runner or haven’t seen it, it’s safe to say that the latest installment of the Blade Runner franchise is easily one of the best sequels ever made PERIOD! Since this film is directed by the man who made jawdropping films like Prisoners, Sicario, and Arrival, his articulation of direction and storytelling really does capture the right atmosphere that Ridley Scott has set since the first Blade Runner. Most people that worked with Ridley Scott had already returned for another ride, but this time with Denis Villeneuve. The things that Denis had done for this installment really shines without a shadow interfering at a splitsecond while watching this. The new characters and familiar faces for this latest installment impressed me, futuristic-like production design, electrifying visual and sound effects, kickass performances, spine-chilling orgasmic soundtrack, and the god-like cinematography that Roger Deakins set really does spark a lot of amazement for the sequel. (Get Roger Deakins his OSCAR ASAP!!!!) However, there’s a thing that kind of caused a very little ruckus throughout the movie, but it doesn’t affect the movie’s quality that much since there will be another sequel readied for us to see what lies beneath the door (If confirmed...) Like Deckard said “I did your job one—I was good at it” it clearly refers that someone else besides Scott or Villeneuve will take control and finish the story (if confirmed..) Without a doubt, Blade Runner 2049 is an outstanding achievement and a technical masterpiece that will be enjoyed by many sci-fi fans around the world.… Expand

It deserves no less than a dream team of talent and thankfully that's exactly what it got. The direction is sharp, the visuals pop, the performances emanate, and the writing is true to the source without merely aping all the old notes or ruining all the mystery. Core themes of the genre it helped create like the line between illusion and reality or defining humanity and one's identity are both upheld and explored in increasingly nuanced ways. Those worried about a neo noir film devolving into an action fest can breathe too as that was oversold by the marketing. The one trademark I do miss though is Vangelis' multilayered, ever present composition. 2049 strikes a different tone and isn't afraid of quiet moments, but the absence of one of its predecessor's most defining features remains conspicuous. Still, nearly everyone involved in the project is at the top of their game and should be proud of the work they've accomplished. Time will tell exactly how well the sequel stacks up to the 'original', but in any case it comes as close one could ask for today. I can still scarcely believe it, myself.… Expand

An absolute feast for the eyes {and ears} and despite it's running time and pace, absorbing and captivating. Unlike Arrival which I thought was very overrated and dare I say dull, Villeneuve has triumphed with this definitely worth the wait sequel.

True homage to the original. A great sequel. Truly refreshing. The ending tapered off and some characters should have been better developed for a trade of some of the other scenes. A must see, especially in 3-D.

Some philosophical topics are treated without getting boring. What's the meaning of destiny or sense of purpose? What's the difference between man and machine if both are capable of having feelings and emotions? Denis Villeneuve, his crew and the cast just set new standards to what a masterpiece can be. Well done guys.… Expand

Blade Runner 2049 is honestly a masterpiece and a half, the movie's got a great story.

The story is pretty much about this lad called Officer K (Ryan Gosling) who's an officer with the Los Angeles police department, he finds out a big secretBlade Runner 2049 is honestly a masterpiece and a half, the movie's got a great story.

The story is pretty much about this lad called Officer K (Ryan Gosling) who's an officer with the Los Angeles police department, he finds out a big secret which could end up starting lots of chaos.

He later goes on a mission to find a former blade runner called Deckard (Harrison Ford) who's been missing for the past three decades.

The acting from all of the cast throughout this movie is honestly brilliant, especially from Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford, those two are honestly amazing in this movie.

The dialogue which is given throughout this movie is honestly brilliant, the dialogue never feels too forced. It just feels very natural and it's really well given from all of the characters who are in this movie.

Also, the chemistry between Officer K and Deckard is great and it's built up so well throughout this movie.

The movie's even got some beautiful music composed by Hans Zimmer, Benjamin Wallfisch, Ron Bartlett and Michael Hodges. Those four do a great job on composing this beautiful soundtrack as a whole.

The pacing throughout this movie is honestly great and each moment is built up very well.

The cinematography from the man, the myth and the legend Roger Deakins is honestly so beautiful. He captures the scenes so beautifully and he does such a great job at capturing the moments so well.

Finally, the action sequences throughout this movie are very clever and very graphic and they're also very well done.

The CGI effects hold up pretty well and they don't look very outdated at all, which is really good.

The green screen effects throughout this movie also hold up very well and they're very aesthetically pleasing to look at.

The movie's even got some great visuals which also hold up very well and they have such a unique look to them.

The set designs for this movie have a very beautiful and unique look to them, which I thought made them look very unique.

Overall, Blade Runner 2049 is honestly a masterpiece and a half. The movie's got a great story, brilliant acting, brilliant dialogue, great chemistry, beautiful score, great pacing and some beautiful cinematography.

The movie's even got some very graphic action sequences, great CGI effects, aesthetically pleasing greenscreen effects, great visuals and some very beautiful set designs. I'd honestly recommend to watch this movie straight after watching the original Blade Runner (1982) it's honestly worth the watch.… Expand

I remeber my biggest fear was that they would drop the slow pace and noir atmosphere for more action and explosions, but thankfully, the film remains just as slow and just as great for it as the first one.

The effects are outstanding and sure to stand the test of time just like the original's. Roger Deakins' cinematography is stunning in every way. The performances from Ryan Gosling, Ana de Armas and Harrison Ford are spectular.

I love how realistically the technology has progressed since the first once. Everything's just a little more advanced after thirty years.

I also love how it subverts the "chosen one" trope.
K may not have been a real human bean, but he sure was a real hero (sorry).

Rarely does a movie come around and blow away all my expectations like this.… Expand

My only gripe is, that we knew from the trailers that Harrison Ford will be in it. Could have been a nice reveal. Denis Villeneuve is clearly, after seeing Dune, one of the best film makers to date. Too bad, we live in a world where this kind of movies doesn't attract the masses and does good money for the studios. Films like this is why I go to the cinema.… Expand

This is a Denis Villeneuve film, and anybody versed with the man's filmography will realize that this is an artist of the highest order. Had Blade Runner been given to anybody- even Ridley, I can guarantee you the final result wouldn’t be half as good as what we see here. Ryan Gosling takes over the role played by Harrison Ford in the 1982 original and he essays an effortlessly cool protagonist living in the future of decay and destitute. Harrison Ford is also back in a glorified cameo but its glad to see the old man back in this Universe. The special effects are amazing with a careful mixture of carefully rendered CGI and practical effects. The film looks fantastic, but it is the plot that is the heart and soul of this great film. You should go and watch Blade Runner before seeing 2049 and then come and marvel at this masterpiece.

I'd dare to say that this even surpasses the original Blade Runner in manyIn an era where 35-year sequels and remakes are merely vehicles for a quick cash grab, Blade Runner 2049 is perhaps the only example that lives up to the original. I'd dare to say that this even surpasses the original Blade Runner in many ways, particularly in the plot, score, and moral implications. It also defines its own aesthetic, which while not as groundbreaking, is equally meticulous. What it doesn't do as well as the original is in the overacted, unmotivated villains and a bit of the deus ex machina ending... but we're just nitpicking here. Denis Villeneuve has proven that he can just about handle any subject matter with the attention to detail and care that the fans deserve. Its a tragedy that BR2049 did not get the financial success needed for Hollywood to explore this world further. Perhaps in another 35 years.… Expand

It's visually stunning with a semi-easy plot to follow with some of the best performances you'll see from Gosling and Ford. This will go down as not only one of the best movies of 2017, but also one of the best sequels of all time.

It was one of most profound and beautiful movies of the 20th century and it still affects me to this day..When I saw Ryan Gosling cast in the 2049 I was very disappointed. I swore to myself never to attend a movie of his again after the disgusting abomination that is "Only God Forgives" but I relented eventually, Blade Runner is that important.. He is the weakest part of the movie for me. I just don't like his voice or face. Thats personal preference.
And what is the movie? A continuation of the transhumanist question from Blade Runner 1. Can replicants ( or even AI's who receive very positive treatment here) have souls? Can man be a God and create life? My anwswer is no and the movie answers in the affirmative, understandably. Judge for yourself.
Symbolism and esotericism saturate every scene. Every line of dialogue, prop, stance, quirk, image,prominent and obscured has an obvious meaning ...and hidden one...It feels religious in its exposition because in a way it is. Its arcane and occultist. It makes one think and want to return for closer inspection. Whatever your philosophical position there can be no denying the beauty visually and aurally of this devastated dystopia. Gosling apart, a masterpiece..… Expand

It executes nearly everything to perfection, continuing to build upon some of the great aspects of the first film while being able to avoid some of the narrative blunders of the original. The setting and visuals of the film are beyond beautiful. It does a great job of building upon the already majestic world of blade runner while adding some unique aspects of its own that helps it not feel like just an extension of the first film. The music is subtly very good as it helps you feel immersed into the film while not feeling overbearing. The narrative and characters are the things that stand out most about the film. Despite being nearly 3 hours long, it almost never feels boring and is captivating the whole way through. The only time I noticed that the film slowed down a bit was around the end of the first hour of the film, but quickly picks back up again and is incredibly engaging the rest of the way through. Ryan Gosling gives a great performance as he usually does and Harrison Ford gives one of the best performances of his career. Ana de Armas also gives a surprisingly good performance, although her character occasionally felt underutilized. Blade Runner 2049 is an amazing film that both fans of the original and new fans alike should enjoy.… Expand

Blade runner 2049 is an exquisitely crafted sequel which stands shoulder to shoulder with its predecessor,Blade runner,one of the greatest movies ever made.

The neo-noir setting with an unwavering sense of impending doom amplifies the eeriness and adds dimensions to the film.The plot is solid , rich with characters and minor details all building up to an intense climax.Ryan Gosling , Harrison Ford, Ana De Armas, Jared Leto, Sylvia Hoeks act masterfully in their respective roles .Ryan Gosling plays the role of the lead perfectly .The characters are well built and rounded .Much is left to be desired out of Jared Leto’s character who feels kind of left out in the movie plot but is sure to play a major role in future sequels ,if any are made.The direction and cinematography is where the movie hits a homerun.Denis Villeneuve has created a mindblowing, sci-fi masterpiece no doubt.He is hands-down one of the best directors in the industry at the moment.Villeneuve has done a great job by skillfully integrating suspense and tension with the core of the movie plot.Roger Deakins does an amazing job as the cinematographer .The cinematography is one of the best I have ever seen in a movie.Every shot tells a story ,represents a theme chaos,beauty,love,fear,tension,insecurity etc.The production design and quality is top notch.The cinemascore and sound effects are amazing.
The plot pacing is where the movie dips and could be turn off for some moviegoers.The movie is long,plain long(163 minutes) and the pace is slow.Not all moments are part of the main movie plot ,but introduced for possible movie sequels

Final Verdict:Blade runner 2049 is a plot driven,intense,lengthy and a mindblowing sci-fi movie not less than a piece of art.If you love this kind of cinema this movie is for you.If your movie preference is the cars blowing,fights-breaking,explosion occurring every 15-min Michael Bay movie then this is not for you as you would lose all patience by the time movie reaches its climax.

Score: 9/10: Translates to “Must Watch”… Expand

I thought that I’d need to see and enjoy the original before this. Denis Villeneuve quotes you don’t need to have seen the original to enjoy his film cos this stands on its own. Though a lot of the film does involve the original in its plot. So I sat down to watch this juggernaut of a film, and juggernaut I mean 2 hours 43 mins. You do get sceptical as why it’s that long and think am I wasting my time and money here but. And big but. I watched Mark Kermode gives his review. He said that opening 30 mins of the movie surprisingly set the amazing pace and that in itself defines the greatness of this epic film. There are no standout performances here, not Gosling, not Ford, no one but there is one and that is the director Denis Villeneuve. What he delivers here is something of awesomeness, something astonishing. The visuals, the lighting, everything about the design and scale of this is just mind blowing. You definitely don’t have to enjoy the original to enjoy this. And at 163 mins, it doesn’t feel that long at all. This really is the creme de la creme of sci fi perfection. And ok I said earlier that Gosling and Ford aren’t the standout performers but there performances are brilliant. Gosling’s performance is of particular interest considering a year ago he was nominated for best actor for La La Land. But forget La La Land here. This is simply put the greatest sci fi, action thriller ever made. Denis Villeneuve your the man. Shame you didn’t get a best director nod at this years Oscars, just the nomination would have sufficed. 5 out 5, 10 out 10.… Expand

I'm so invested in this world eversince watching the first Blade Runner. Denis Villeneuve said that the original cut was 4 hours and I definitely want to see that cut. I want like a Blade Runner 2049 Part II. I never have this urge to see more of a world created by such amazing people, but I do for this movie. I love the way how the story isn't finished (except for Joe) and that it continues without us knowing how, It leaves open possibilities for the future. The cast was also very strong and I like the way how the movie just starts without us knowing who any of these people are. As the story moves along you get more and more invested in Joe's character and want him to find out the truth. The cinematography is also very well done, the best I've seen so far. Roger Deakins sure knows how to film a scene.… Expand

This new Blade runner a an excellent movie nonetheless. I've read some bad reviews before watching the film and was kinda sceptical, but in the end this movie is about as good a sequel can get. The visuals obviously are astonishing, the music is creepy and moody, and the story is gripping, good enough for me. Still It has some weaker moments, especially the last 20-30 minutes. The movie then become a bit messy and schizophrenic. But It's those crucial last 20 minutes that would have made Blade Runner 2049 a masterpiece like the first, but it kinda miss the spot. I also didn't like the Jared Leto character, the guru who speaks in parabolas and metaphors...it felt a bit cliché to me.

I had watched the first one before and was impressed by how little dialogue was needed to move the plot along and to convey the message. Most recent movies left me with a sower aftertaste and with the impression that it was numbed down by having a huge amount of dialogue and explanations. The original used the atmosphere, the sounds and the characters to tell it's story and the difference from the modern approach was really obvious. The feeling i had while watching the original i found again while seeing 2049.
It is a sequel but without making you feel that not watching the original was a big mistake. This was the one movie in a very long time that did not disappoint me. I have loved it. It is something else and i could go on and on about the plot twist that was introduces incredibly well but at the same time was not in your face and then what happened afterwards when you felt that you passed the traditional twist... Anyway, if you love SciFi movies and have felt violated by the abortions that came out in the last years (at most 3 were good) or the traditional Hollywood recipes i cannot recommend this one enough.… Expand

Thankfully, the film does nods and respectfully grows from itsI never had seen the first Blade Runner film in any of its versions, so when watching this film I was nervous that I would not understand certain parts that referenced it. Thankfully, the film does nods and respectfully grows from its previous entry and sparingly gives those references.

The visuals and technology used in this is phenomenal and this makes it one of the most impressively shot and well constructed worlds and society I have seen in films for years. The technology is believable and the apocalyptic-like world Blade Runner presents is creative and yet relative to the viewer. The acting was pretty dam good with Ryan Gosling , Harrison Ford and a few other characters putting a really impressive display of emotions and realistic humanity to the scenes. The action is a bit low, but it serves to move the plot forward and can be somewhat unnerving to watch. If you were expecting constant action in a sci-fi noir film, you will be very disappointed.

While I think the film was shot excellently, the cast did a great job on acting, I feel the story and certain scenes could have been better improved or toned down. The running length of the film has become a sort of like a joke for critics and they are not wrong as it is nearly two and half hours. Certain scenes could have been cut out and shorten a bit to propel the plot forward much more effectively. A couple head scratches came from me when certain plots were revealed and felt some moments were sort of cheesy to boot, so I would say that going in to see this film has to be under a certain mindset and test in patience. If you like constant action and ADHD style pacing, you will not enjoy this movie. Blade Runner 2049 is a well done film that successfully stands as its own sequel rather than a copy and paste of the original. Its world and visuals are award winning excellent, the casting was pretty good and only through excessive use of scenes and certain confusing areas do I feel the only cons for this film. If you like films and appreciate art, you are required to see this film. If you like a good detective movie, this is a recommendation. If you seen the original Blade Runner and not this yet, you should as soon as possible.

I have a love hate relationship for the original as it was a bit of a slow burn, but I respected it for its world building, unique cinematography and great ending. That being said the sequel did a great job of building upon the already established mythos.
Blade Runner 2049 did not feel revolutionary to filmmaking, but was an overall very good Sci Fi film. The acting was great, most notably the performances by Sylvia Hoeks and Jared Leto. Both actors really stole the show for every scene they were in. Some audiences reviews stated the movie felt too long, but honestly the pacing felt fine to me. My only critique of the film is that it did not have the bizarre vibe of the original. Gone were the mini clockwork replicants, crazy night clubs and claustrophobic streets. This is less of a knock on the film and more of a nod to how much work went into making the original film.
Overall I recommend this film to any fan of Sci-Fi films or those who like the original 1982 film.… Expand

The environment they create is perfect and even better than the one in the first one, with a better arraignment of colors and perfect acting from the cast, making me believe every action and phrase they said. The story is very good, much better than the first one, but leaving me wishing for more of this world, something that I would not have said from watching the first one.… Expand

We find our protagonist, played by Ryan Gosling, working with the police to hunt down replicants, cyborgs indistinguishable from humans. A special mission sets him on a particularly dangerous path of self-discovery. Gosling is superb here. I initially criticised him as a choice for this role, but I was hands down wrong. He portrays the character with an innocence and sense of vulnerability that is very touching and heartfelt. Harrison Ford is excellent but doesn't have as much screen time as I'm sure fans were expecting. The story is well paced for the most part and manages to keep the audience engaged. I saw this in a huge theatre that was packed to the brim and you could've heard a pin drop throughout the entire screening. The visuals are stunning and progressive without being separated too far from the first outing. It's creatively graded to emphasise certain atmospheres and moods which I found interesting. The attention to detail in the sets is impressive although most of it is CGI. The cinematography is also very impressive, and overall it's a beautifully conceived film. On the downside, at nearly 3 hours it's incredibly long, and you do start to feel that towards the last 30 minutes or so. Disappointingly, I also found some of the themes to be quite derogatory to women. Lots of brothels, hookers, nakedness, digital women created as companions. There was no gender balance in this somewhat sordid area. Although we did have a female villain, and head of police so at least some attempt at strong female characters admittedly. Overall, it's one of the best films of the year and will probably make the list as one of the finest sequels ever made. Highly recommended.… Expand

I don't know what can be possibly bad in this movie. It excels in everything it proposes itself.

It is slow, yes. But it is slow in a positive way. Every scene is carefully thinked to be audiovisually exquisite. At that pace, you can trulyI don't know what can be possibly bad in this movie. It excels in everything it proposes itself.

It is slow, yes. But it is slow in a positive way. Every scene is carefully thinked to be audiovisually exquisite. At that pace, you can truly think in the deep moral and phylosophical themes the movie proposes. You can suck all the main character's emotions.

The world both blade runners have created is extremely interesting and coherent. I saw the first like 2 weeks before seeing Blade Runner 2049 and I consider myself a devote fan now.

10/10 for me!… Expand

Dick tale in great form, great cinema, great story. I suspect some the criticism is from people to lazy to read the book, or, watch either movie, or have no semblance of imagination, and just read critiques and pile on. Needs to be seen in a theater, do not wait for Redbox, pretend its 1982 and the VHS store isn't going to see a rental issued for at least two years!… Expand

One of the best movies that came out this year, no doubt regarding that. The whole movie is simply mesmerizing, and the cinematography and visuals are indeed truly exceptional. This movie totally deserves your money.

Denis Villeneuve has made a $150 million art film that also happens to be a sequel. Roger Deakins' cinematography a career best here; the way he plays with natural light and color is breathe-taking.

Roger Deakins' cinematography a career best here; the way he plays with natural light and color is breathe-taking. The costume design is impeccable as well; the outfits look like they belong on a runway without feeling disconnected from the universe. Sadly it is not for everyone. While the pace is steady, some people will certainly find it slow and boring. However, in my humble opinion, Blade Runner 2049 is the best film of the year, and superior to Ridley Scott's original Blade Runner.… Expand
