I've always loved the original Blade Runner, but never held it quite as high as many other sci-fi fans do. It does so many things incredibly well, but a certain chilliness always prevented me from fully connecting to it. Blade Runner 2049 isI've always loved the original Blade Runner, but never held it quite as high as many other sci-fi fans do. It does so many things incredibly well, but a certain chilliness always prevented me from fully connecting to it. Blade Runner 2049 is a different story. It's equally chilly on the surface, but has a warm, beating heart at its core.

Everything I didn't get out of the original, I got here. Director Denis Villeneuve and crew take the world, atmosphere, and themes created by Ridley Scott's team in 1982, and expertly expand upon those elements, providing a more intriguing plot, and more well-rounded characters for you to connect to.

Villenueve continues to prove he's one of the best in the business right now, pumping out great films year after year after year. He can seemingly do no wrong. The visuals in this thing are absolutely mind-blowing as well. I'll be shocked if the legendary Roger Deakins doesn't finally get his Oscar for this film. And The production designs is simply outstanding. I truly felt as if I had been transported to another place and time. Despite running 40 minutes longer than the original film, it never dragged. I never felt the need to check the time. It's perfectly paced, totally engaging, and as of right now, Blade Runner 2049 is my favorite film of 2017.… Expand

Denis Villeneuve quotes you don’t need toWhen I saw or managed to make it thru the very slow burner that was Blade Runner The Final Cut, I was obviously dubious about this. 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

But this time, the dark, foggy streets of LA and the technotopia which surrounds it isn't just seen, it is lived. This is a film which demands attention and patience, and rewards you with a compelling, thought provoking, and heart-wrenching story, interesting characters, and some old fashioned sci-fi fun. For die hard Blade Runner fans, this is the sequel of our electric dreams, checking off all of the boxes, hitting ever mark seamlessly; resuscitating the mind-bending world of cyber-punk that was left for dead with the Matrix in 1999.… Expand

I was around in the early 8Os when Blade Runner came out...one thing this sequel couldn't recapture was the bleak Asian noir of a future some 30 years away It was realistic gritty window into the far future for 80s folk and it was mesmerizing. Even though the new movie didn't recapture the far future mesmerizing effect...it couldn't...it did copy exactly that bleak Asian noir of the near future. Back then we saw a vision of what could be and arguably made it come true in a lot of ways. Today the atmosphere seems familiar and enveloping and 'hey were gonna have that done in a few years, I can already see it' type way.

With the original film being one of my favorite movies of all time, it was hard for me to believe the sequel could live up to the original. It does not live up to the original. It equals the original and simultaneously provides a storylineWith the original film being one of my favorite movies of all time, it was hard for me to believe the sequel could live up to the original. It does not live up to the original. It equals the original and simultaneously provides a storyline that seamlessly continues the original, 30 years later, while throughout paying 'homage' to the original in so countless subtle ways that blend the two productions together. Blade Runner is the movie it became thanks to the amazing visuals and the groundbreaking and timeless score by Vangelis which created the Los Angeles of the future in Blade Runner.

Blade Runner 2049 blends the original Vangelis sound with strikingly heavy, dark, atmospheric sound. Think of it as Vangelis blended with Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross' Book of Eli sound, and combine them with subtle hints of the Gravity & Interstellar soundtracks.

Exceptionally heavy and chilling and just as Vangelis' original score, creating a future world of undeniable and frightening reality; and for 2049, the overbearing heaviness of the music during the slow, unfolding scenes throughout the film, especially Sea Wall, provide a stunning depth and impact to the film. 2 hours 43 minutes too long? Not if you're a fan and looking for another 5 versions.

This is the Director's Cut and the storyline is much more profound and creepy once you think about it on your way home. There a few sequels that stand on their own to the original. This is a masterpiece of special effects, sets, and the storyline sets up BR3 effectively. It took 35 years for the sequel and it was worth the wait for the right people to come together and create their vision of BR and brilliantly succeed.

Worth the wait? Absolutely; and a must see on a big screen with a powerful sound system behind it the first time.

As a big fan of the orginal, thank you to everyone involved in the making of this film. It is....an experience.… Expand

I remember watching the original and loving it, even though many critics panned it inThere is one constant connecting the few naysayers among the critics of Blade Runner 2049: They all sound surprisingly like the naysayers of the original. I remember watching the original and loving it, even though many critics panned it in the same way that a few are doing now. The only real difference is that while a majority of critics at first panned the original and then slowly changed their minds, this time most critics get what Blade Runner is all about and are appreciating it from the get-go, while a paltry few, some of whom didn't like the original either, are panning it for much the same reasons the original was panned: It's too obscure, it's a mood piece that doesn't really hold up as a story, it's too long, it's more a series of set pieces than an engaging drama, etc. Well, guess what naysayers, the majority don't care, and all you've done is miss the point and distance yourselves from having a great movie experience. And given time, this Blade Runner, like the original, will grow an audience, beyond it's critics and even it's fan base. Thats what this kind of film does - it comes on like a slow acting drug, that wallops us in the beginning, then slowly drags us to a new place, and finally sinks in, long after we think we are done with it. The seeds that it plants in our psyche will eventually grow into our subconscious, where we will find ourselves having feelings about the film that we didn't have at first viewing. But for some, the seeds will never germinate and they will be left with nothing to show but a feeling of 'what was that all about?' While for those of us whose seeds do grow, a feeling of quiet awe and understanding will begin to take shape. And, if we haven't seen it already, we will begin to see that Blade Runner is most importantly about our inability to ever fully know who we really are and what this drama we are living is really all about. It also shows us a vision of a possible future, that we may already be on our way to creating - a future where love, the most basic emotion of all, like the trees that no longer grow in 2049, finds it hard to find a place to grow. And yet, like the small flowers that Joe finds at the foot of the dead tree where Rachel is buried, love still finds a way to survive.
And finally, eyeball to eyeball, that was and is the first image in both films and the point of the whole thing. Voigt-comp, the ultimate test of who is human and who is not. Technology, testing, and can the test be fool proof, or are we just fooling ourselves into believing that our testing really proves anything? Human or AI? What will be the ultimate difference, how will we tell the difference, and will it even matter when the replicants and AI decide not to take it anymore and then take their place on the evolutionary ladder. Next up, replicant revolution, AI liberation, and the subservience of the human genome to a future where the world is reborn, and love, the one ingredient that cannot be altered or done away with, is still at the heart of existence.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There are great films, then there are films that can change your life.

I am in no way a critic. I am just a fan and a lover of films. So allow me to indulge myself by writing why Blade Runner 2049 became one of my favorite films of all time.

Let me start by saying that I didn’t like the original Blade Runner. I know it sounds blasphemous considering it’s a cult classic and is highly regarded as one of the most influential sci-fi films of all time. But for me, it felt too dragging and predictable at times. So I went to see 2049 with tempered expectations. I mean, I could’ve just skipped it but seeing director Denis Villeneuve’s previous works (Enemy, Arrival) I had this gut feel that he would do something special. I’m glad I didn’t skip because my gut feel was damn right.

Rarely do you see a blockbuster filled with depth and so many layers. After the credits rolled all I could say was “What?” because it’s tough to digest everything at first. But after thinking about it, together with reading articles and watching videos about it, I started to understand the movie which eventually led to me loving it. I read comments about it saying that the film tried to say a lot of things which eventually resulted in it being messy. While I agree that the film tries to say a lot, I don’t think that it’s messy. For me, it actually depicted the mind of someone who’s asking what it means to be human. Asking that question will lead to more questions than answers. That is what happens to Ryan Gosling’s Officer K.

Officer K is somehow trying to find his place in the world. This resonates with me a lot because I’m at the point in my life where I feel lost and I can’t seem to figure out where I should be. The film also asks what it means to be alive and what it is that makes us special. K lived his entire life knowing that he’s just a replicant hunting other replicants. Nothing more, nothing less. So when he discovered something that showed him he might be more than just a Blade Runner, he believed it. He believed that he is special, that there is more to his life than just the routine. He believed that there is more to him that what people say. That was the first time he felt truly special. But it turns out (spoiler alert!) that he’s just a decoy. He wasn’t so special after all. In a way, I can connect with that as well. Sometimes I ask myself if there’s more to life than the routine and the norm. Like K, I want to be special. I want to feel like I’m important and I mean something. I grew up in an environment where people downplay this longing and tell me I shouldn’t go after what I want. It makes me think that I’m just a peg in a board game and someone else is playing it. I feel like a small piece in a grand scheme just like how the replicants are. It makes me feel irrelevant. Eventually, K accepted the fact that he’s just a piece and played his part knowing that there’s a bigger picture. I think he felt like that was his true purpose, being one of the catalysts of change. Unlike K though, I’ve yet to accept that I’m just a peg and I still haven’t discovered my true individual purpose.

These are just some of the realizations I had that prove Blade Runner 2049 is a very deep, philosophical film. Based on the articles I’ve read, people always got something different from it and that’s why I love it. The film is open to interpretation because of how layered it is. At the heart of Villeneuve’s films, you’ll always see humanity in them and 2049 is a prime example. My only gripe with the film is that it’s a tad too long. Maybe that’s one of the main reasons why other people are hesitant to watch it and might’ve contributed to it’s somewhat poor performance at the box office. Less people who watched means less people I can talk to and discuss about my feelings for it. But other than that, the film is really great. The cinematography by Roger Deakins is near-perfect. Almost every shot looks stunning. It’s gorgeous. If the philosophical story doesn’t pique your interest, then watch it only for the visuals. It’s worth your money. I really hope that it goes down as a sci-fi classic much like its predecessor.

I can’t wait to buy my own original DVD and watch it over and over again to discover more layers. But while it’s still in the cinemas, go watch it and experience one of the best movies ever made.… Expand

That is the tension. The whole point of the movie is finding and understanding your place. Only way to so that properly is slowly. I felt like I was along for the ride. Visuals are top notch. Oddly I find the soundtrack to be phenomenal. It is not catchy, nor can I remember a note however it is edgy and fits the tone of the movie accurately. That is what music is supposed to do.

In fact, it addresses the genre in asking whether or not that is even necessary of the hero of your story, never mind whether it is necessary for a being to be considered "human." K is Joe because he wants to be Joe. K chooses a small act of kindness over saving the future of his race because that is the connection he values more. There is so much to unpack from this film. Did Joi actually love K or was she simply a program telling him what he wanted? Was she an example of the fake and how close it can be to the real? Or were all the women in the film interested in K an example of the fake, in terms of the "human" connection so desperately wanted.
Some issues could have been fixed before release, the cinematography was perfect, but the soundtrack by Zimmer doesn't even come close to matching the perfection of the original soundtrack by Vangelis. Additionally the flashbacks seemed out of place for a Blade Runner movie, but as a Villeneuve staple it was probably to be expected. If I can make one recommendation to a person who loves film, it would be to watch this movie, and to think about it.… Expand

Utterly amazing! Perfect blend of dystopia and reviviting panoramas, screenplay and atmosphere. If Rutger Hauers character had partaken I had been sublime for me but that would probably mess with the story and the CGI.

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

You might go thinking: ‘Ah, that means the tempo’s slow and it’s overly-long or self-indulgent.’ Rest assured,The running time of the Blade Runner 2049 movie is 2hrs37mins. Arguably, it’s a daunting commitment for any potential viewer. You might go thinking: ‘Ah, that means the tempo’s slow and it’s overly-long or self-indulgent.’ Rest assured, however, that when you are occupied watching awe-inspiring visuals and listening to an intriguing soundscape, you simply don’t notice the time passing. And there’s a decent detective story with tantalising clues, a multi-layered plot and exciting conflicts thrown in as well. This film truly has the lot.

The director is Denis Villeneuve, who also made the award-winning SF flick Arrival. He recaptures the vision of the future we see in the original Blade Runner and then builds upon it, with fine world-building (enough for a third movie, without doubt) and his own original ideas. He is also a skilled, light-touch story-teller. There is nothing clumsy or clunky in Blade Runner 2049. It is all subtlety, allusion and some playful confusion. Such an approach would make for a frustrating watch with certain directors, but Villeneuve makes sure to deliver on revelations and to resolve every aspect of what is going on. It’s masterfully done.

The story? Well, the cyborgs/androids of the first movie have been replaced by a new series of much-more-obedient AIs. These AIs each has an artificial ‘childhood memory’ implanted into them so that they can react in a more human way to day-to-day life, and so that they can react with a certain personality. We follow one AI detective (played skillfully by Ryan Gosling) who comes to suspect that his memory is real and holds clues to the mystery with which he has been tasked by his boss (the ever-wonderful Robin Wright). Chuck in an evil tech corporation (with a sick boss and terrifying henchwoman) and we have everything we need for a dark and glorious tale. And it’s no secret that Harrison Ford is in the movie: he’s not wasted either; his ‘own’ story is really moved on by 2049… In fact, 2049 sorts out all the plot holes of the original film, which I would never have thought possible.

And here’s the kicker. I was never the biggest fan of the original Blade Runner, either when I saw it as a 15yrold at the cinema, or as a 40-year-old who assumed that all the ‘fuss’ about this ‘cult’ movie meant his youthful self must have missed something. I just thought of the original as a fairly predictable, clumsy and derivative SF flop (it wasn’t any Star Wars!). Yet Blade Runner 2049 has stood everything on its head. It’s almost as if my childhood memory is an artificial one, one that had been implanted to give me character. It’s as if my program has now been rewritten and I am born again. And that’s my last point about the movie: it has an eerie familiarity to it that makes it truly prescient and uncanny. It is a vision of what is most assuredly going to happen to our species. It has the power of prophecy. And so… I can only score this movie 10 out of 10 (a first for me).… 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.

That's right this movie is better thant 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

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

This sequel enriches and expands on its predecessor's story with mind-bending visuals and extraordinary performances. It may be slow at times, but it is damn intriguing.

Masterpiece, perfect sequel and it's still really good as standalone. Best 2017 movie so far.

I really think it is the best movie ever. Silent, calm and whenever required - dynamic. Music in the film like meditation.

When I heard they were making a sequel to Blade Runner, one of my favorite films at that time, my reaction was "No! Leave the original alone!". Thank God they didn't because Blade Runner 2049 is just as good, if not better than the original.When I heard they were making a sequel to Blade Runner, one of my favorite films at that time, my reaction was "No! Leave the original alone!". Thank God they didn't because Blade Runner 2049 is just as good, if not better than the original.

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

Dennis Villeneuve once again proves himself to be among the most competent directors around. A sequel that arrived this much later and still delivers on every front? No wonder he is my favourite director!

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.

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 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 absolutely loved its quiet suspense filled build up and futuristic atmosphere. It’s an awesome movie! Make sure you are in a calm, settled mood going in. It’s not going to blow you away with over the top action and if you don’t pay attention you will totally miss the plot. Hoping there is a sequel!… Expand

This is just a movie that standstoe to toe with its original. And being that the original was one of the best movies ever made, that´s saying something. I would even say that, in some aspects, it´s even better.

At first I thought this movie shouldn't be made. Oh boy I was wrong. Somehow it managed to be better even than the original. World-building, atmosphere, cinematography, visual effects. 2 hours and 45 minutes that I barely felt going by.
