This is a beautiful movie and it captures the essence of what the first movie was about. It does so in a different way, and does so with heart.

My favorite movie of the decade. For my, everything fits in "Blade Runner 2049". The soundtrack, the acting, the story. I really don't know anything to complain about. I definitely have to see it again.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Spoilers ahead.

Updated Nov 2019:

I just finished reading Future Noir: The Making of Blade Runner by Paul M. Sammon, a decent enough book although most of the book seems pretty well covered by the superb documentary "Dangerous Days" by Charles de Lauzirika. The book (Future Noir) was written in 2017 so everyone is all agog about the upcoming Blade Runner "sequel" and it's so disappointing to look back on the movie in this light. I can't even remember virtually anything ABOUT BR 2049. Apart from the awful, pointless "fight" between Harrison Ford and Ryan Gosling. I saw the original in 1982 and it stayed with me for years, until I saw it again on TV or VHS. Great movies are like that, they linger and haunt you forever. I can't imagine anyone thinking again or wanting to watch BR 2049 again as it plays on HBO or elsewhere.

Yep, I own the 7 DVD European version boxed set. Yes, I saw it at the Electric Theatre in Brixton when it came out. I love the original. I wanted so much to love the sequel. Most of my peeves are listed above and below, mirrored by other reviewers with whom I have forged an unhappy bond of disappointment and disbelief. And I concur. Harrison Ford was too passive. Ryan Gosling was too dull, too toned down. Sean Young's CGI was awful. Why not have her at an age like she is now? HF is nearly 80, so how about a 55-year-old Rachel. CGI of real people is tough - it never looks real and it didn't here. The set lighting was sub-par, the CGI buildings didn't look real. This is all "by the by" - if there had been a real script, a real story then all would be forgiven. The movie started, for me, when Joe gets to Vegas. That's how the trailer editor saw it and that's how you should see it. Get a drink join the movie about 90 minutes in and it's really not that bad after that. Some of the stuff is great. But most of it, including the eardrum-bursting "Music" (which was interesting in Arrival) but here, merely serves to pretend to elicit emotion. As another viewer mentioned: when the film finished, the lights suddenly went on (this was Studio Movie Grill so they needed to clean the food trays etc.) as if the theater was embarrassed at the movie's length and wanted to shuffle us out in a hurry. There was no applause, heck even mediocre films in LA get applause since half the audience works in the industry as grips, extras, teamsters etc., even in the outskirts of town. We all just shuffled out, stunned, not quite understanding how $185 million dollars in Budapest (where they made it) could have born so little fruit. Heck, you could BUY Budapest for $185m right? ;) This seems to be a very polarizing film. Lots of critics seem to like it. My wife liked it. I hated it. I hated myself for looking forward to it. I woke up depressed. I wanted to slap the screen and say: "That's for making me care about you!" Wack!… 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.

Blade Runner 2049 Villeneuve returns the favor to the banner by first and foremost, respecting the genre andThe second round is big, beautiful and less selfish, for the crowds that has been cheering for so long, they did win their hearts.

Blade Runner 2049

Villeneuve returns the favor to the banner by first and foremost, respecting the genre and not the maker, as a result the installment is much more coherent and vocal about its perspective. Denis Villeneuve, the director, does cajole for you to reach out for the material outside the world. And through crisp clean environment, colored magnanimously and beautifully by the production design and visual effects. I'd like to draw your attention towards the enormous set pieces staged by the amazing artists working behind it.

The world, as always, starts with infinite choice and hence ambiguous never-ending locations and as this case moves forwards and Ryan Gosling finds himself closer towards the answer; if there is any, the set pieces grows definite and within the questioned boundaries, to a degree, that in its last act, three is a crowd, is framed on the screen. These tiny aspects of this chapter, is what makes this film a better storyteller, than it has to say. For as far as the themes are concerned, there is a lot of seen-this-seen-that phases. And yet, with splendid cinematography and its iconic background score, the film nails a work on the wall that cannot be interpreted as anything but art.

As this series has shown us, the characters are often mended as some puppets and the world they revolve around, the puppeteer. And filled with incredibly expressive details, even the behavior of the characters and the change in their perception is carried out through their surroundings. Gosling enters this franchise with a calm resilient body language and comes out from the mission shook and moved by the consequences of his action. And this action is a particularly noble one, in contrast to Harrison Ford's Rick Deckard in the previous chapter. And maybe, this is what's appealing and crowd pleasing to the audience, the hope that someone as Blade Runner, could melt down.… Expand

I know this film got recognition by the academy but I think the best recognition this film has received is its influence on modern day culture, storytelling and pop culture. The popularity of cyber punk has been looming under the surface with fashion and manga's, however, Blade Runner 2049 propelled this genre into a highly realised and modern genre that would cement itself as one of the most successful genres of modern day films.

it was very touching to me.
of course I would love to see in Rachel but this could not be the subject,If you watch this movie without watching the first movie, I think you can not understand.
I'm fond of this style as it is not very fluent in the slow music selections of the old blade runner-style transitions,but people who didn't know the blade runner could find it a bit boring.

he was nominated for oscar best sound mixed but he could not compete with dunkirk.
I like the film in general, if you look at the audience and the ratings,also received 81 points from the criticism, this is very good only at the box office did not catch the expected success more than I would expect

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the first time I've come out of a movie wishing I could have seen the producer's cut. You know, the way we normally see movies. Where the director's tendency to get too artsy is tempered by the necessities of expedience and concise storytelling and budget. It was visually stunning of course, with many memorable scenes and good performances. But the plot, not the writing, is by far the weakest element. And while it would be fun to dissect every stupid point (replicant procreation as the McGuffin; replicants who obey despite the lack of any substantial control mechanism; evil torture that can only for some reason happen off world so that Harrison has the chance to be rescued in transit), the real, core problem is the bad guy.

And the real, core problem with the bad guy is that he's bad. The key that held the original all together was the complete absence of evil - the full and total surrender to and embrace (narratively) of dystopia. In a proper dystopia, a truly depressing one, there are no bad guys. Everyone's just in it for themselves, trying to survive, trying to make the right choice if that's even possible. In the original we are misled into thinking anyone could be the bad guy: cops, replicants, the genius Tyrell, even hyper-objectified Rachel maybe? And they all just turn out to be self-involved and surviving, one way or another. Until ultimately we find out, if there was a bad guy at all, it's our hero: running around killing soon-to-die-anyway, often brilliant, and generally peaceful replicants as part of a full on genocide. There are no good choices, no right decisions in a proper dystopia. The whole system is broken and the only appropriate final response is depression and escape if possible. And the good stories about these dystopias are about the impossibility of behaving morally in these worlds, how our protagonists deal with it and either do or don't find small victories within the larger perpetual defeat. It's compelling emotionally, relatable to in our real and generally uncaring world, and wonderfully fertile ground for great storytelling.

What the new Blade Runner does is give us a bad guy. And not just a bad guy looking for profit, or power - not only. No. This guy is creepy, properly evil, kills one of his own wholly innocent and palpably afraid creations just to add emphasis to his evil speech (to himself basically - how's that for forced exposition?) about how desperately he is incapable of producing birth capable replicants. He is pure evil, he looks, smells, breathes evil. He has evil eyes and evil floating cameras attached to an evil port on his evil neck. He enjoys the suffering of others and wants to build a galaxy full of slaves. His evil minion is, again, repeatedly and unnecessarily and unbelievably just pure hateful evil. Our villain here is all one color. And being all black, he by necessity makes Gosling all white.

And, seriously, how boring is this guy - our hero? He basically just slowly mopes around all over the place, emoting real hard - when he isn't running through walls or shooting stuff (people, things, replicants... who cares). He has a digital girlfriend that he can't touch, and everything about both of them reads as uncaring of each other, but the plot says love is there, so let's just pretend. And how infuriating are the vagaries of how tough or strong, exactly, is this thing? He can run full speed through a concrete wall no problem, but gets knocked out by a mild crash. He can't beat evil minion chick until after he's mortally wounded and floating in water with her - suddenly stronger than the thing that 30 seconds ago was handing him his ass. All that stuff's just lazy.

But anyway, perhaps this might have worked as some simple morality tale à la Snow White - pure hero, rotten villain, love conquers all in the end. Except the story is so convoluted, unclear, and above all stretched out for miles - even the morality tale that might have been is lost in the susurrus. Love does, kind of, conquer all in the end, but it's got pretty much squat to do with the fake human with borrowed memories we've been watching wandering around all this time. Deckard thought he was human, so he was human. Joe (Gosling) knows he's a fancy robot, so he's a fancy robot. But the most damaging effect of the simple evil/good dynamic here is that there is no doubt, no uncertainty. Ultimately it makes caring about anyone or anything in this story impossible. It's just something you can watch happen, predictably. Our bad guy will exclusively do horrible things. Our good guy will exclusively do noble things. You expect this from a Transformers movie. You don't expect this from a story in the lineage of Philip K. Dick. Who wasn't even all that great of a writer, just an absolutely astounding world-builder. The foundations of that world were transferred to the original Blade Runner, and that's why it worked. They were ignored in this sequel, and that's why it doesn't work.… Expand

La lenteur pouce à l'ennui, l'ennui pouce à réfléchir et malheureusement ce film est creux. C'est vraiment dommage, car le 1er on ne s'ennuyait pas. Malheureusement celui-ci est incohérent il prend du temps où en plus de ne rien apprendre on comprend en 1 minute. Exemple la scène où le Blade Runner doit coucher avec son hologramme. La scène prend près de 6 à 7 minutes pour nous expliquer comment sa marche.. C'est long et surement une galère en post production de plus on a déjà compris qui se sentait seul à la première scène en salle blanche subissant un test ou encore dans son véhicule ou encore... enfin bref.........
Je dois dire que le retournement de situation en plus d'être un cheveu sur la soupe n’a rien de réel! On fait une quête comment? Ils sont où les enjeux? Le plus gros problème c'est que l'acteur principal ne sert à rien ( pauvre Ryan Gosling je l'aime ce gars) quand tout est centré sur han solo! De plus il n'y a aucune crainte du méchant, car a par découpé quelqu'un chez lui à moitié aveugle et sénile sans raison profonde alors qu'il a du mal a créée des "répliquant" et survivre lui-même il passe pour un abruti. En quoi on doit craindre le méchant? Il cherche quoi? Détruire le passé? Le passé est déjà détruit! alors pourquoi le fun ?
Pour les gens qui dise que "on réfléchit beaucoup, c'est mal devant un film" posé vous la question "pourquoi je ne réfléchis pas assez devant un film qui pose des questions?" J'ai peut-être une réponse. Vous aimez vous contenter comme moi à certaines époques ou devant un MARVEL! BREF une histoire de "clone" appelé "répliquant" pour appuyer que chez "BALDE RUNNER" on ne fait pas comme les autres! L'histoire se passe sur une terre surpeuplée et c'est la seule bonne histoire que tu as trouvée a raconté!? Je veux devenir réalisateur!
Écrire un scénario à l'aire simple quand on regarde ce film..
POSITIF:
Le monde est impressionnant on s'y croit! Tout est tellement propre et sale et très bien défini!
Le réalisme instauré !
L'ambiance sublimée par une musique pétante aux fréquences qui font vibrer la salle !
Le détail de la publicité c'est génial !
Les tacles publicitaires c'est du génie #ATARI VS #SONY ! À notre époque on sait ce qui s'est réellement passé pour les deux entreprises. Qui a pris la place de leader aujourd'hui #Sony.
Les valeurs quant aux relations Humain avec Humain, Repliquant avec Humain, Repliquant avec Repliquant, Repliquant avec Holograme
Les musiques juste dans le style de Vangelis tellement propre !
Les couleurs qui scindent le film. La saleté grise pour une pose de décor. Le propre Blanc qui définit l'aventure. La méchanceté tirée sur le marron exprime le dernier maillon d'une bonne histoire avec sont méchant et l'écroulement de ce film. Le dénouement en orange. La paix avec le blanc neige qui recouvre la poussière et l'erreur #Pureté visuelles ! Merci aux personnes de la photographie vous avez tous fait pour sauver le film, mais un film ne se résume pas que dans le visuel, mais résonne dans les personnages, leur charisme et l'histoire qu'ils ont a raconté !
Un film que je ne verrais peut-être qu'au cinéma !… Expand

The soundtrack was totally annoying and in some important scene like the final fight (the one between Luv and Officer K), actually, most of the fights, there wasn't any music, it really really annoyed me, I really expected more from Hans Zimmer!
The surprising element was totally poor.
Sometimes the movie was hard to digest.

But on the other hand, it kept the excitement that I want and need to see in any movie.
The performance was impressive, I didn't expect that actually, but the cast surprised and got me into the movie.
The CGI was mistake-less.
There wasn't a lot of action scenes, but the action scenes -as it's not too much- were really thrilling!
The story was good.
And most important thing, that this movie did not get me bored in any second.

So it was really good and catching. I loved that brilliant movie! So I'm gonna give it an A-.… Expand

But I know this world was built up in the first Blade Runner movie and I appreciate this but the thing is that it's not enough now to be fresh, and to stand out from the agglomerated genre. The actor did a enormous performance, especially Ford and Letho. But I felt like Ryan's performance on the character was a little forced and he didn't have any real face gesticulation. The cinematography was slightly above average with the shots and scenes taken, and the writing of the movie was very absent, but on point for the events. The sound effects where very realistic, but the visuals where mind blowing, and gorgeous. Really stand out in this genre. Even the environment was on point for this universe, but it was disappointing that we didn't see any off worlds. There wasn't any humor which made the movie quite dull, and didn't help the overall fact to make the movie more fun to watch. But it was entertaining as it got, apart from the fact that it got some pacing issues. Like it was to slow, at times and lost me or the general audience. The plot was complex with it's twists and awesome narrative, and it was delivered with an amazing style. Also the message was pretty clear, and amazing for me. But that might shift for others. Also the action was lacking a lot of choreography and innovation.
Overall it's a good movie, but it hasn't done enough to be considered as good and original as the old one. I think other critics are influence by the nostalgia of the previous movie.… Expand

Denis Villeneuve has proven himself yet again to be a master of filmmaking. My favorite movie of last year, Arrival, was also directed by him, and he has directed my favorite film of this year so far, Blade Runner 2049. This movie is a masterpiece on all levels, especially in terms of cinematography and special effects. There is not a single shot in this movie that I didn’t believe, or say “oh that’s CGI.” The CGI in this movie is not very noticeable and looks extremely realistic, and the cinematography is even better. This may be the most well shot film I have ever seen. The lighting is perfect, the color pallet is perfect, the shot length is perfect, the shot composition is perfect. If Roger Deakins does not win for best cinematography this year (after recieving 13 nominations and 0 wins for the other films he was involved in), I will be extremely disappointed. Another thing I have to commend this film for is for the realism of it’s universe. Just like the first Blade Runner, which I also love, it’s universe feels incredibly real. I feel like I can step inside the universe right now, and trust me, I would love to visit this universe (but not live there because it is very dark and depressing). If any film displays how movies can take you places, it would be Blade Runner 2049. As for the acting, it is pretty damn good. Ryan Gosling is more emotionally reserved in this movie than in others, for a reason that is told near the beginning of the film, and he was very grounded and believable in this film. Harrison Ford was also great even though he is not in the movie much. Jared Leto is also very good and very bizarre and creepy as “Wallace.” Everyone is great in this movie. The score is also great and I am very happy that Hans Zimmer paid tribute to Vangelis’ very haunting and beautiful score from the first Blade Runner. The sound design was also fantastic and very realistic. Every single aspect of this movie was great. Blade Runner 2049 is definitely my favorite movie this year and it gets an A+… Expand

Sometimes they reveal the complacency of a culture with its values, showing an idealized version of its past, or an aspirational projection of the possibilities its imperfect values could pose, if only the record could be cleansed of the historical contradictions and latent hypocrisies that fester within. Other times have turned their attention to the hypocrisy itself, to uglier details that stood in the way of perfection.

We belong to a time that is at once infantilized by a surface culture where adults are permanently marketed to as children, yet they are also abandoned by systems and institutions to whom they must pay alms (in the numbing hours sacrificed to day jobs, and in taxes demanded by a malfunctioning government) they are no longer the constituency. What is there to hope for when the very prospect of affecting meaningful change seems impossible?

Today we bear the pale complexion of an era drained of any vision of what is beyond itself. We didn't envision this as the future, and on the horizon are only more grim portents. The culture has given up on imagining something better, and has receded into the corpse of nostalgia.… Expand

I was worried given all the hype, but the 2049 follow-up adds a little meat to the bone of the original movie, by drawing more out of the book, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, than did Ridley Scott, who essentially turned the story into a futuristic LA crime noir movie. I thought with the update Villenueve might given women a stronger role in the future. After all, they are the progenitors of our species. Instead, we get a bunch of gender fun and games with lots of naked ladies blown up to the size of "The Revenge of the 50 Foot Women," with Ryan Gosling left to navigate this "Burning Man" world in search of the truth.

There are too many cliche lines for my taste, but Villenueve does try to reach for some deeper sense of meaning like he did in Arrival. What we get is essentially a Greek tale writ large that should be seen on a 70 mm screen. It has all the wide angle shots of its predecessor, expanding on the dreary Future World of LA. I never could understand why they set the story so near in the future given all the off-world colonies. This is something that can only be imagined a millennia into the future. But, maybe we will find some wormhole in the near future for Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos to exploit.

Nice to see I halfway decent follow-up to the original. I want say sequel, as I'm sure another installment is in the works. The ending was sufficiently open ended to suggest one.… Expand

And this, most of the time, is a good thing. It improves upon all the technical elements and directorial techniques of the original, although losing a bit of focus in the process.

Overall, though, this is a really pretty film. Thanks, in a very large part to legendary cinematographer Roger Deakins' bold imagery and cutting edge luxurious filming techniques; but also thanks to Villeneuve's directorial chops. He borrows, from the original film, the method of presenting us a world drowned in gigantic buildings, surrounded by choking industrialism filled with commercials to gigantic brands and sexual fantasies. It succeeds in building on the idea of showing us a utopic life beyond the slums of Earth and brilliantly creates a personal story with bold plot twists. And like the imagery and the futuristic and roaring soundtrack, the story revolves around hope.

The characters, like 'K' (Ryan Gosling), the silent and collected blade runner, Joshi (Robin Wright) the imposing Police Chief and most others are emptied of feelings and there is a certain coldness between them. This is not an issue, but an observation, as this emotional separation reflects perfectly the tone of the film. Sure, there are a few characters which offer more emotion, like Deckard (Harrison Ford) who is the most human character of them all and also has his own personal motives and regrets. And then there is Niander Wallace (Jared Leto), a powerful CEO of a company making a new generation of replicants; although he looks imposing, his appearances are not only brief, but his character comes along as pretentious, constantly babbling in a Shakespearean manner about his goals and motives.

Despite this slightly wasted villain and pacing which could have been sped up on certain occasions, making this film a bit shorter, 'Blade Runner 2049' is a beautifully designed experiment in the philosophy of futurism; ideas like the humanity of machines and even a few ironic references to virtual reality. Of course, we've heard these all before, but this really does not matter when you have such a brilliant execution.… Expand

But when I walked out of the theater after seeing it, I was raving about it for a few weeks.

I just love everything about this movie. The incredible visuals, the complex story, the minimal but effective dialogue...everything. The only thing that I guess I don't like is the length. You can definitely feel that this is a two-hour and forty-four minute movie, but it's so good that I can dismiss that as a very small gripe. Dennis Villeneuve directed a sci-fi movie that I actually like more than most of the Star Wars movies, which is something I never thought I'd say. Unfortunately, we'll probably never see another Blade Runner movie since this one underperformed big time at the box office, but at least we got this one.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've always thought Blade Runner was a bit overrated, granted you can't take a single cinema class without talking about Shape, Line, form and movement, but at the same time it presents us with some of the deepest and conflicting arguments and topics of conversation I personally have ever come across. 2049 is no different. I watched Blade Runner 2049 in the hopes of seeing something new brought to the world of "Group 'X' has no rights and needs to be eliminated." And the change brought here is so much more than "Cloned humans are not human," But instead "Cloned Humans can be MORE human than humans." The concept behind the films biggest plot device; the Replicant from the first film "Rachael" giving birth to a human child, serves as a shock to the viewer that there very well may come a time where we need to look inside ourselves and see what we'd be willing to do to hide such a secret. Or even more than that, whether or not we could even consider that child to be human. In a world where the hot topic is political Refugees or Immigration, surely there will come a time in the near future where this franchise is used as a tool to argue that perhaps we're not as evolved as we like to consider.… Expand

This worthy follow up takes every elementDenis Villeneuve's immaculate visuals and the score from Hans Zimmer and Benjamin Wallfisch lend themselves well to the Blade Runner experience, expertly recreating the tone and look of the original. This worthy follow up takes every element of it's predecessor and builds upon them. Even the idiosyncrasies of Ridley Scott's groundbreaking sci-fi film like the weird moments and awkward humor are used to much greater effect here. The latter feeling actually intentional this time around (because it is). Something that enables the laughs to feel natural and fluid, as opposed to at the movie's expense. The plot is an absolute rollercoaster ride of emotion, suspense, and surprise depth. The nods to the first Blade Runner are more than just fan service. They cement 2049 as not just a follow up, but an actual continuation of the previous movie's story. Even right down to the themes and concepts. There are moments here so strange, imaginative, and crazy that they could only come from the science-fiction genre and be taken seriously. There are so many fascinating aspects built into the world itself that make it feel real and worth exploring deeper. It's these futuristic anomalies and the visual splendor that kept me engaged whenever the story started to dawdle.

While it is never outright boring like the first often was during it's middle act, there's little denying that some scenes simply exist for no reason other than to show off how pretty things are. 2049 does a much better job at keeping viewers interested, but still wasn't quite able to avoid the original's pacing issues. This really didn't need to be almost three hours long. There are things that could have met the chopping block or have been edited down without sacrificing the material's potency. I had to give myself an extended intermission about half way through the film because of how dang long it is. I was never not enjoying the movie, but a break felt very necessary nonetheless. Blade Runner 2049 is a beautiful, grand, and even an exhausting experience that is backed by incredible performances (Jared Leto redeems himself after Suicide Squad) and continues the Blade Runner story in ways both spectacular and moving. While it's stands very well on it's own I do recommend watching a version of the 1982 film first just to get the whole picture of why this movie is so great. Not only is it a welcome return to a world you may or may not have come into contact with 35 years ago, but it's one that manages to be even better than the first outing. Denis Villeneuve blew me away once again and I hope to see more from the Blade Runner universe in the future.

Plot was way too thin for such an incredibly slow paced movie. The plot wasn't thought provoking so the movie just felt incredibly dull and boring. Great visuals and cinematography alone doesn't make a movie a masterpiece.

Blade Runner 2049 reminded me of why movies are released in theaters. The scope of the sets and effects are immaculate. This is surely one of the most breathtaking films in terms of visuals.

Blade Runner was ahead of its time. Blade Runner 2049 was just made to make money. The whole story is non sense. One of the worst things about the movie is that its boring and slow. a Huge disappointment of a movie coming from a blade runner fan.

One of the best I have seen, and I’m no spring chicken, crossing all genres including landmarks like Ben Hur (1959), Titanic, Casablanca, 2001, Inherit the Wind (not Gone with), Amadeus, Saving Private Ryan - the list is not long. BladeOne of the best I have seen, and I’m no spring chicken, crossing all genres including landmarks like Ben Hur (1959), Titanic, Casablanca, 2001, Inherit the Wind (not Gone with), Amadeus, Saving Private Ryan - the list is not long. Blade Runner 2049, for the mature of all ages, is immersive, moving and stunning both visually and aurally and indeed it stands on its own, albeit the impetus for me was the original Blade Runner, making it the perfect sequel - as well. Purchased the movie in 3d to match my theatre viewing experience...and on my fifth home viewing....still incredible! The speculative, marketing inspired demise of 3d in North America is undoubtedly and assuredly premature. 3d format or otherwise the movie remains a masterpiece. It should be the Oscar pick for best movie of 2017, and the cast including Ryan Gosling, Harrison Ford, Ana de Armas and others nominated in respective roles. Consummate actors all, not to mention Denis Villeneuve as Best Director. Thank Ridley Scott for recognizing his genius.

The reality is that Science Fiction, even as a statement on the human condition, has never won an Oscar for Best Movie, as far as I know. The Academy Awards will likely miss this, caught up in the social media swamp and the cause of the day. The Academy will likely instead vote for an odd duck or more common place take on the triumphs and tribulations of the human condition, all destined to become mediocrities and also rans for 2017. This in turn, as it continues to demonstrate, makes Oscar night nothing more than a gossips’ social gathering and more redundant and meaningless than ever in what it’s function should be - rewarding real achievement in film.

Meanwhile like the first Blade Runner, Blade Runner 2049 will continue to attract an ever growing following and challenge current and future movie makers to raise the bar on what is now possible.… Expand

t is rare to see a movie that gets a sequel 30 years later but what is more rare is to see a sequel that not only expands on what you loved about the first but could actually be better than the first.

That's right this movie is better than the first one.

Without going too much into the story as this movie is best enjoyed without knowing any of the twist and turns. Ryan Gosling plays "K" the new Blade Runner whose job is to hunt down Replicants but one mission leads him to discover a revelation. The story is honestly amazing and you discover revelations with "K" making you more invested in the film. Do you need to watch the first Blade Runner to understand the story? Not necessarily but the film is much better is you do.

The cast are phenomenal especially Ryan Gosling performance as "K" in which he can be emotionless yet emotive at the same time. Where the scene needs him to be fully emotive Ryan Gosling pulls it off perfectly and makes you feel for his character. Harrison Ford also returns as Deckard from the first movie and while his appearance in this movie is a lot shorter than the marketing makes you think, he still gives a surprisingly great performance and could be considered his best in some time. The rest of the cast are amazing as well with a special mention to Ana de Armas as Joi and Sylvia Hoeks as Luv being great standouts. Jared Leto gives a great performance though could be considered the most jarring one but for me didn't break my immersion from the movie.

The music score is absolutely stunning which is done by Hans Zimmer who I consider a legend in making music Scores. The director Dennis Villeneuve creates some amazing camera shots that are a mix of practical and CGI. The shot themselves are like an artwork and are just stunning to look at. Blade Runner 2049 isn't just a typical cash-in sequel, it actually expands on what you loved about the original and more. This film doesn't decide to just turn Blade Runner into an action movie franchise either, while the movie does have some great action scenes they are short and little at best. The director made a proper Blade Runner sequel that stands on its own. It's visually gorgeous with an immersive story and a stunning score.You could call this movie an achievement in film-making and should be watched by fans or newcomers alike.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I haven’t seen the original Blade Runner so I didn’t know what to expect from Blade Runner 2049. I saw it for the first time on DVD. The movie is over 2 1/2 hours long and it definitely felt like it was that long. Some long movies don’t feel as long as they actually are, but that was not the case here. Still the movie is visually stunning; and any movie that has Ryan Gosling, Jared Leto and Harrison Ford is worth watching. The women in this movie play their parts well; but by the final act the female villain is just plain annoying. I do give the movie as a whole though a B.… Expand

1) Reality has no right to smear its source for being identical to it

2) History can be supported by the parts that make up the history

3) It isn't possible to experience bias

4) Symmetry can freely observe itself without hurting itself

5) Reality can help God find the inability to plan the creation of reality

6) The past can manipulate the present before the past has happened

7) Any experience is a machine

8) A discovery can create the censorship that precedes its existence

9) The same movement can always reach its destination without the ability to see 10) The origin of life can be fooled into thinking it's its creation

11) The force of observation and the self are separate realities

12) Unification can't have an origin if it's to function

I have no words... This is just a really f*cking good Sci-Fi movie! Better than the first one. I love these characters, I love this world. I want to see more! 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

Ainsi, lorsqu'on regarde BladeIl y a des films auxquels on ne devrait pas faire de suite, tout simplement parce qu'ils ne s'y prêtent pas mais aussi parce que la comparaison de la suite avec l'original la met en porte-à-faux permanent. Ainsi, lorsqu'on regarde Blade Runner 2(049), on ne le voit que d'un oeil critique par rapport à son prédecesseur, on le décortique, on le dissèque et à chaque fois, on est déçu...

Sauf sans doute pour ceux et celles qui n'ont pas vu le Blade Runner d'origine mais qui ne saisiront pas alors toutes les nombreuses références et allusions... puisqu'il s'agit d'une suite !

Il aurait mieux valu faire un simple remake, un reboot propre sans Harrison Ford et proposer de cette façon une nouvelle interprétation du superbe bouquin de Philip K. Dick. BR 2049 aime jouer bien entendu sur la fibre nostalgique mais c'est une lame à double tranchant, car la plus grande qualité de BR 2049 est de nous donner envie de revisionner encore une fois le BR original... quelle ironie !

Bref, l'histoire n'est pas convaincante et ne tient évidemment pas debout, et puis nombre de zones d'ombre subsistent tandis que les "révélations" sont égrénées tout au long de ce film décidément très long...

Il reste tout de même une sacrée ambiance, des effets spéciaux et des effets numériques hallucinants ; l'environnement sonore est super chiadé tandis que la musique qui n'a pas voulu singer la bande originale exceptionnelle de Vangelis se borne à sortir du "bruit", de vagues nappes qui n'ont rien de musical mais qui renforcent cette incroyable ambiance.

Les acteurs sont très bien (Ryan Gosling en tête bien sûr) mais ce sont les actrices -pourtant peu connues- qui m'ont vraiment impressionné : elles sortent toutes du lot avec des personnalités fortes et bien définies. Enfin, la mise en scène stylée, esthétique, soignée de Denis Villeneuve doit certainement être saluée même si on devine que Ridley Scott devait surveiller la suite de son bébé comme le lait sur le feu.

Pas mauvais en soi le BR 2049 mais trop écrasé par le poids de son aîné, cet héritage si lourd à porter, impossible à porter en fait. Laissez dormir en paix les légendes !… Expand

A good sequel to the original Blade Runner with excellent visuals - but is to long, the main villain is not that interesting and Deckard doesn't do much in the movie. Also music is better in original movie.
