I don't want to spoil too much, but there is a gun battle in a special sort of abandoned room - and it just might be the most bizarre, haunting, and perfect scene in Sci-fi cinema since the 1970s.

The only things holding me back from giving a perfect 10/10 are that the music, while very good, wasn't as "Vangelis-ey" as I would have liked - and that Jared Leto's performance stands out as being very awkward and overwrought in a movie that is otherwise a broiling ocean of wordless emotion and memory.… 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. Despite all that i can't give a lower score than 9, since the movie overall really lives up to the expectations. It's the kind movie I will watch 5-6 times without getting tired, this Blade Runner universe is just too fascinating.… Expand

I taped the movie at the theater to have the soundtrack, whose official version wasn’t released for years. These facts put me in a 0.1% slice of fans of the movie.
So what to say of Blade Runner 2049 (“2049”)?
2019 pulled you into a world and a mood. The opening scene of Los Angeles in 2019 is not matched in 2049.
Making a virtue of necessity, Ridley Scott set 2019 at night (except for the controversial ending scene), which is cheaper to convey in the grimly grand manner he sought. Denis Villeneuve had the budget to venture into the day, which pays off best at the end, with the rest resting in an uneasy truce with sepia. The plot of 2019 was pedestrian; I think a Harrison Ford quote can be found that he played a detective who did not detect much. The plot of 2049 is hardly elaborate, but is more developed and satisfactory. Gosling is a god, and 2019 fans owe him a great debt for his embrace of the project despite the cult. 2019 actually aspired to the epic more in portrayal than in theme. 2049 has greater pretense to the epic—I spoil nothing, just watch the trailer (“the world is built on a wall that separates kind”). 2049 settles for less, but less ends up more. 2049 has a cracker jack supporting cast, although none delivers a line like Rutger Hauer’s “tears in the rain” from 2019. That’s what makes magic magic.
I’m glad that age and 2019’s cult status brought Harrison Ford back to the wisdom of his original choice to play Deckard. Sometimes you don’t give your younger self enough credit. Score honored the original, and sound generally was solid.
In sum, the army assembled by the hope of a reprise captures the prize of a wonderfully worthy movie in its own right. Doing justice to both 2019 and 2049, you watch no mere sequel. Too long? Perhaps. But better than gone.… Expand

Villeneuve has solidified himself as probably the most visually brilliant director around right now with grand scapes of vast meticulous detail.

The plotting was exceptionally clever yet just suffered from pacing issues and odd twists that are perplexing yet frustrating. Gosling was fantastic as always, but Jared Leto was once again under utilized and his intriguingly fascinating character was barely extrapolated upon.

Of course, I watched the Final cut version of Blade Runner with my son 2 days before. My anticipation increased when I saw overwhelming critic ratings, but I only read one review ahead of time. I was worried that too high expectations would result in my being disappointed with the film. I did note that the film was 2 hrs and 40 minutes long so I prepared myself for a long movie. The obvious place to see this film was the IMAX at the MN zoo which has a true 70 mm screen (97 ft high!!!) and the most awesome sound presentation that I have ever heard.

I'm happy to say that I was not let down by my high expectations. I loved the story, visuals and sound track of Blade Runner 2049! The movie plays like a mystery/detective story and keeps the audience immersed and thinking about what they are watching. This movie may not be for everyone since there are many scenes with no talking as it follows the protagonist, detective K (played well by Ryan Gosling), while he works the clues and moves around the futuristic world. Just sit back and enjoy the visuals and music score during these scenes. It is so nice to see a movie that is built around an intricate story with character development and not just how many chase scenes they can string together. Hollywood are you listening??? Blade Runner 2049 does a great job stitching the special effects into the movie to complement the story rather than vice versa. Be sure to watch the original Blade Runner before going to see this movie. The stories are linked and you will be doing yourself a disservice otherwise.… Expand

Its very much art house film but with a modern blockbusters budget and resources.Blade Runner 2049 is a beautiful unicorn of a film. The kind of film that only comes along once every few years. And it'll probably be talked about for years. Its very much art house film but with a modern blockbusters budget and resources. The film plays with complex concepts that can quickly turn into debates. People have complained that the film is long and drags on. And if your looking for action events and plot twists that will be your experience. The film is like a 10 layer puzzle. The problem, like the original, is that the simplest layer on the bottom is strange and doesn't have much going on. Since that is usually all there is to simpler action flicks, if you don't look on other levels for more then you get bored. But on every other layer of the puzzle the pieces add up. The rules of the universe are self consistent and not broken. The narrative makes certain logic jumps without spoon-feeding you the information. Again, off-putting to people used to being spoon-fed every plot point. My experience for the first viewing of the film was with a language I am not yet fluent in. So a lot of the conversation was lost on me. I was amazed by the visual storytelling that was going on. My second viewing, in my native language, only added to it, though it helped I could focus on other details the second time around. More than 1 viewing suggested! Overall it is an incredibly impressive film, toying with the fundamental concept of what it means to be human. And what it means to be human in a world where memory can be implanted, where creations are becoming more perfect than their creators and what it means when you can't tell the difference anymore. In a way the film borrows ideas from other P.K.Dicks novels and takes them great places. True to the universe of the original film it also cut key elements of the book out. Overall best film I've seen in ages. Also props to the director. The romantic encounter scene is something absolutely unique. Given how often that contents been put to film, truly a feat!… Expand

В 1982 году, с жанром научной фантастики произошел феномен имя которому Бегущий по лезвию, за авторством сэра Ридли Скотта. Центральной темой фильма были взаимоотношения между репликантами (искусственной формой жизни) и людьми, а так же затрагивалась тема: жизни и смерти. Критики смешано отреагировали на картину и их мнения разделились: кто-то ругал фильм за излишнюю монотонность, а кто-то хвалил визуальную составляющую. В прокате у кинокартины Скотта дела тоже не заладились, где ее ждал провал. И все же, это не помешало «Бегущему по лезвию» выдержать испытание временем и приобрести статус культовой кинокартины. Прошло 30 лет, на большие экраны выходит сиквел, «Бегущий по лезвию 2049» в режиссерском кресле Дени Вильнев, Ридли Скотт значится продюсером, а за сценарий отвечает автор оригинала Хэмптон Финчер. Что же получилось у канадского кинорежиссера? Вильнев не скрывал, что многие элементы в сценарии он переработал под свое видение, при этом развивая основную идею оригинала. Фильм затрагивает тему человечности и поднимает ряд вопросов: что делает человека, человеком? Наличие души? Мораль или может быть эмоции? Вопросы, проходят сквозь сюжет поделенный на 3 акта – ближе к финалу, которого, ожидает Рик Декард 30 лет хранивший тайну способную перевернуть мир. В «Бегущем по Лезвию 2049» окончательно размыта грань между человеком и новыми моделями репликантов, оно и неудивительно ведь главный девиз Tyrell Corporation: "больше человек, чем сам человек". Как и в оригинале у картины неспешный темп повествования и большой акцент на деталях, а хронометраж составляет неполные 3 часа. Вообще любая попытка углубления в тему сюжета - спойлер, поэтому детали стоит опустить. Одна из сильнейших сторон фильма – визуальная составляющая, каждый кадр настоящее произведение искусства: его построение, плавность переходов, великолепная работа с цветовой гаммой и неважно будь то урбанистические джунгли дождливого Лос-Анджелеса, усыпанные тысячами неоновых вывесок и голограмм или апокалиптические руины старого города. Роджер Дикинс – настоящий маэстро, в его послужном списке такие работы, как «Побег и Шоушенка», «Старикам тут не место» и 7 номинаций на премию Оскар. «Бегущий по лезвию 2049», образцовый сиквел и значимое событие для современной кинофантастики, в то время пока некоторые студии продолжают штамповать ремейки или продолжения на грани ремейка, Дени Вильнев, снимает свое авторское видение «Бегущего по Лезвию» развивая идеи оригинала, а не эксплуатирует старые. Итог: к просмотру обязательно… 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

Where the original inspired many sci-fi pieces over the last twenty or thirty years, the sequel clearly borrows from the genre, with one of its several twists being borrowed from the very Blade-Runner-ish Battlestar Galactica.

As many references to the original as there are, some work better than others. I can live with an Edward James Olmos cameo, but Sean Young was really awkwardly shoehorned in. The funny references to long lost companies permeate the background and that's cool, but what's less cool is the ubiquitous Hans Zimmer aping the electronic soundscape of the original but completely missing the meditative quality of Vangelis' original.

On its own merits though, the new Blade Runner is more of a thinker's movie than most, and offers several intriguing twists, memorable characters, and iconic imagery. It's worth seeing, and going in without spoilers, and giving a think as to how far away we are from its world right now.… Expand

Lets start with the movie: It starts 30 years after the prequel and follows the story of Officer KThis is an interesting case. When I got out of the cinema I would have given 10/10. Then I started thinking about the movie and it got worse. Lets start with the movie: It starts 30 years after the prequel and follows the story of Officer K (Ryan Gosling) as he hunts Replicants and makes an astonishing discovery that could shaken the world. I wont spoil the story but say they got the most out of it. Then there is the setting: They nailed it. A world where nature has died and such a miserable and hopeless place. It is an outlook to a wretched future where mankind has failed. Then there are the Replicants. I will say they created a slave race that mankind mistreated. Then I saw how they treated other humans (orphans) and will say it is not much different. For the actors: This is an amazing cast and I will praise the actors for the brilliant performance. It is like they don't act instead they became the characters. Ryan Gossling is perfect for this role. You can see his emotions and struggles. Then there is Joi played by Ana de Anmas. Her acting is equal if not a bit better than Ryan Gosslings. The performances from Jared Leto (Niander Wallace) and Sylvia Hoels (Luv) are also praiseworthy. While they have not as much screen time they nail their characters. At last there is Harrison Ford. They did him justice and use his character well (I am pointing at “The Force Awakens”). You can not rate this movie without talking about philosophies. This movie has a lot to make you think. What is the meaning of being a human? At what point is a Replicant or AI indistinguishable from a human? Are humans only biological computers? Am I the sum of my memories? What is a life worth? Should a creator have this much power over his creations? Ethics? There is a lot worth discussing with friends. Thoughts about the movie: As I thought about the movie I had following realisations: 1. The things that happen before (After Blade Runner) and after this movie (If I am reading the implications correctly) are far more interesting than this movie or lets say have more potential.2.What was archived in this movie? There is a lot of character development but what has changed in the grand picture? 3. Why did they chose this fate for Rachael and Rick? Even in a broken and hopeless world they should deserve at least a bit of a happy ending. 4. How did no one find Rick in all this years? His hiding place is good but nothing a cop, officer or bounty hunter will miss in the long run. Overall it was one of the best movies of the year and worth watching. It is sad that it made not enough money at the box office to get a sequel. Dont let my thoughts louse your enjoyment. I still give 8,5/10. Bonus knowledge: Did you know that Blade Runner and the Alien franchise share the same universe?… Expand

Wow! WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW! And another WOW!

"Blade Runner 2049" is a fantastic follow up to the first and fixes a lot of the issues people had with the 1982 film. Without any director or extended cut. It's everything a sequel should do. Hell, you can watch this without watching the first and wouldn't get lost. Something "Force Awakes", "Jurassic World", and "Finding Dory" should take notes on. This is the type of film that will inspire young film makers out there to pick up a camera and make art. It's that great.

As I said in my "Arrival" review, Denis Villeneuve can release a movie every year and be close of making a masterpiece. This is the masterpiece. When "Prisoners" and "Enemy" was released, a lot of people saw great promise for him in the future, but never has a director live up to that praise. You can see the love and respect he has for the original without cheating out by playing on your nostalgic to win you over, not with Blade Runner. He also brings something new to the universe and made the whole thing thought-provoking.

Roger Deakins continues to out shine himself with every film his apart of, however this might be his best work yet. The beautiful imagery, framing, the use of darkest and neon lights really adds to the amazement of the world building. It's one of the most good looking films I've this year and nothing will top it. I swear if this doesn't get him that long and well deserved Oscar, then nothing will. I lost respect for the Academy a long time ago, but this will make them look spineless.

The performances from everyone were all fantastic. Ryan Gosling and Robin Wright are great as always. Harrison Ford gave probably the best performance I've seen from him. And Jared Leto redeeming himself after the garbage fire that was "Suicide Squad", despite the small screen time. I finally saw him playing a character, not a try-hard 'look at my method acting'.

The score was incredible and has this blasting roar to it that the speakers at my cinema literally vibrated every time. I didn't see it in IMAX, it's that effective.

What surprised me more is how engaging the story was and how emotional it got. By the end, I felt a tear coming down my eye. Little CGI was used in certain aspects as it went for a more practical path with it's effects. The final result is remarkable.

Overall rating: Villeneuve nailed what many thought was impossible. My eye for his next movie has gone up sky high. Please go support this.… 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

Beautiful cinematography, ambiguous character motivations that leave a lot open to personal interpretation, slow pacing....Yep, that's the ol' Blade Runner.

It assumes you are familiar with Deckard and Rachel. To appreciate the narrative, you must be at least mildly familiar with the original 1982 Blade Runner film. I'd recommend the Final Cut version of the film. There are also 3 short animated prequels to 2049 that will help you understand the setting more. Strengths: Amazing cinematography, Great acting from the female supporting actresses and Gosling, ambiguous plot that will leave you debating with friends. Weakness: Poorly acted and written antagonist. Narrative is NOT self contained and demands a sequel and some familiarity with previous lore, slow pace.… Expand

Having seeing the first Blade Runner and how amazing I thought the original movie was, I had extremely high expectations on the sequel. This is not a perfect movie and had some missed opportunities where the story could have further developed and shined more to have it become a true masterpiece, but overall this was definitely a solid 8+. Let's starts with the pros:

Amazing cast of characters and actors! I really thought Ryan Gosling (Officer K) did a fantastic job! And the other two amazing characters was Officer K - AI lover- JOI (Ana De Armas) and Jared Leto (Wallace). Visuals- Were amazing and loved them the artistic theme and colors.. But I wished they used less CGI and more real and authentic sceneries. The CGI felt to sterile, clean and less grit in the real world. Music- was great! But, I felt they tried very hard to keep it up with the original Blade runner. I really loved the Jazz tones and 60's nostalgia- that was amazing!!. But I would have preferred more classical synthesized electronic tones and the credits music was horrible- heavy metal. They could have put like 80's theme style music/ song rolling through the credits. My biggest beef was the story and some of the sterile CGI stuff. While I don't want to spoil anything, I just felt they could have really done a better job building the character's relationships and development. I would have been more emotionally attached vs feeling I don't care if this person dies. Something that Nier Automata (Video Game) does a much better job making feel more attach to "replicants". Frankly, I was more attached to Officer's K AI relationship more than Deckard to his..... I think this was a great movie but maybe I need to watch it again to say it's was a masterpiece. I didn't go away saying ahhhhhhh.... Or really felt emotional connected to Officer K, or Deckard. I was more connected to the AI than these characters. But visually, music and acting was on point except the CGI crap. I would give it 8.5/10. And the original blade runner is 9.5. I hope the next Blade Runner they work on developing the Characters better and relationships so I can feel emotionally connected, less CGI, and a stronger Plot.… Expand

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

We have the same old Blade Runner — the philosophy in the cyberpunkFor me, the "Blade Runner, 2049" was the most anticipated film of the year. Ditched the pair for first in session and in view I can say that the expectations are justified. We have the same old Blade Runner — the philosophy in the cyberpunk world of the future, which is accompanied by gorgeous visuals, sincavage sound and neon signs. As a sequel, the tape looks incredibly well from the first minute it is visible that the project was a true fan of the original film. The atmosphere absorbs the head, the events stretch smoothly and slowly, which is a characteristic feature of the series and for many it is a minus (but not me). Despite the close relationship with the original, tape Villeneuve is sure to surprise and show something new. Almost completely disappeared aesthetics of film Noir, and instead proposed increased portion of action and a greater variety of locations, introduces viewers to the world of the future outside of big cities. Speaking about the actors and their characters I would like to highlight Dave Batista, which was very little, but in such a short amount of screen time he managed to create a memorable and interesting way, the background which can be seen in the short prequel to "2048: Nowhere to run", filmed by Luke Scott. Also for a small fraction of the duration in time perfectly to reveal the characters of Jared Leto and Harrison Ford. The latter even in the joint scenes with the main character managed to pull the viewer's attention on himself his endless charisma. The Key Officer in the performance of Ryan Gosling is ambiguous. In General, the role of the canadian classic — Ryan plays silent maloemotsionalny young people with a sad look, and in this film it is also due to the peculiarities of the character.

There were, of course, and without the drawbacks. For me, the obvious shortcomings of steel sagging narrative at the end of the first hour timekeeping, small, slow, even compared to the original tape, not until the end of the open arches of the characters (mostly Wallace), as well as the soundtrack. He, of course, good, Hans Zimmer as always on top, but still a new "Running" lacks the charm that gave the tracks by Vangelis, composer of the first part. But none of these minuses can not name at least serious, why the impressions of the paintings remain very positive. Done a great job with the material, the technical side of the film is just beyond praise and deserves at least Oscar nominations for the soundtrack, visual effects and cinematography. A worthy continuation of the classic, which once again proved to everyone that Denis Villeneuve is one of the best directors of our day.… Expand

Most recent movies left meFirst of all what i loved the most is the atmosphere and the story telling. 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

Gran obra que retoma la película de 1981 desde un ángulo distinto. Lleno de híper-textualidades y un uso maravillosos de las tomas panorámicas en una civilización colapsada. Ejercicio de reflexión sobre la importancia de la memoria.

It does so by branching new intrigues into the original script and adding dept. The presentation of the future is still a great warning for all of us. The movie has amazing FX and has some actions. But the main effect of this movie is still the atmosphere and partially Vangelis alike music. I say alike, because it's a pale imitation of Vangelis style and the music is sadly not always that great, and become too many times a collection of sound effects. The actors are excellent, even the side characters are interesting. Don't go to that movie if you want an action flick or you are tired. The movie required your attention, even if it's mostly a visual film, the plot can be elaborate enough. Villeneuve did a fascinating movie that will go into the rank of classic, with the original one...no less. The music is maybe the aspect where it seems too loud and lacking variety. I give it a 90%, go see it if you love scifi. Update: At second viewing, I found that it lacked some action in the middle of the movie. The problem is that maybe, for a Blade Runner, he didn't do much of it in the movie (except at the beginning). Also many scenes linger too much, and it slow down the pace when they come in succession. But if you approach this as a detective movie, it kind of fits better. Still think it's a good movie.… Expand

This film was aesthetically outstanding in every way. The costumes were incredible, the sets and set design made you connect so much more with the characters because they felt so real, especially in downtown LA. You could tell a lot of effort went into the different sets, as each one is son unique, from K's (Ryan Gosling's) bedroom to the offices in the LAPD tower to the farm etc. Speaking of Ryan Gosling, he's done another great job in this role. Not once did I doubt he was a Blade Runner, and he effortlessly explorers his characters' subplot (one which I will not elaborate on for obvious reasons), and he just radiated bad-assery. There were a lot of takes with little to no sound/script, and all we had to look at were the amazing sets and emoting of the actors, which was pretty much always impeccable. All the actors and actresses involved did great performances - Harrison Ford slipped back into his role as Rick Deckard just like he was back in the 80's, and the villain(s) were menacing and equally as compelling as Gosling & Ford. (If it's not obvious already, the cameos of people in the 1982 version were very, very much appreciated!)

Probably my favourite aspect was the multitude of different angles and shots that Villeneuve used, as it constantly gave so many different perspectives of the sets and the characters and told the story in a very technical yet beautiful way, which leads me to congratulate the editors on a very good job well done. Not only did they tell the story well, they seamlessly linked flashbacks with the present plot, and often films can suffer from poor/excessive flashbacks, and I am happy to say: this one doesn't. As for issues, the pacing suffered on a few occasions, and to be perfectly honest I felt the film went on a little too long. There were some long takes (only some, as some were extremely effective) that dragged on a bit, and made me almost wish that it would cut to a different character/scene. Also,even though the sound was outstanding in this film and so sheerly loud, I sometimes felt the music was a little out of place in some scenes. This is probably one of my personal nit-picks, but in a couple of occasions I was like 'why is there music playing right now?' However, when there needed to be music there was, so there weren't scenes where I was asking for it to be added, just a couple where I think it should've been removed, (again, probably a personal thing.) The action scenes were great and well-choreographed, but to be honest I was expecting a few more that there actually was. Conclusion: if you liked the first one, definitely see this one (but I think you'll prefer the first one, I know I did), and even if you haven't seen the first one you should check it out, as it is visually stunning.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Blade Runner is one of my favorite movies of all time, let's start out there, not only it's a great movie; it's also one of the fundamental pieces of science fiction in cinema. Ridley Scott's vision, the images, the music, another legendary role for Harrison Ford, the cult to the film, everything that encloses the name Blade Runner implies too many things.

Now let's take into account a director like Denis Villeneuve who in recent years has been cementing an exceptional career, his last five films have been among the best of cinema in their respective years of release.

Now bring those things together in a sequel, a sequel to a movie that many fans consider untouchable, a sequel that comes thirty five years after the original. To say that the expectations were gigantic is to stay too short, not only for everything that represents the original film but for the reputation of its director, but I also realized that it was completely unfair to judge the film for that.

But what was of Blade Runner 2049? Honestly? I honestly am very happy about the movie I watched, 2049 is a movie that did not damage the legacy of the original but rather enhances it, a sequel worthy of the name and in my opinion one of the most beautiful films visually speaking in the last decade.

I will not reveal anything independently of all those who have already seen it but what I can say that despite the simplicity of the plot in general, this is a coherent and functional story, everything is in place and pretty much works really good. Ryan Gosling as K manages to create an interesting, complicated, deep enough character completely different from what Harrison Ford did. Obviously the difference lies in that K is a replicant, therefore his path is different. The plot follows a simple but profound argumentative line; after all, the repercussions of the events that develop after the discovery of K are enormous and somehow establish what could give rise to another or other films, although it's something I doubt enormously.

The themes of 2049 deal with identity, the soul, love, artificiality, evolution, faith, hope and yes in the end talks about revolution, the lesson that is learned and the film belongs to Gosling's character, there should be no doubt about that. Harrison Ford makes his appearance like Deckard but he is not the focus of this movie, although its character has a substantial weight in the plot.

Now let's talk about the technical marvel that is 2049, let's start with the visual, **** me, Roger Deakins created something awesome, the shots in their entirety are intoxicating, Blade Runner 2049 is a visual orgasm, I don't have the slightest doubt, I haven't seen another film this year that looks like this one, I must emphasize it, it is ridiculous the visual level of this film and also the sets play a very important role and these are also first class, especially those of the offices of Wallace Corporation and in Las Vegas, that scene in which Ryan Gosling is walking through the sand with that brutal orange palette is beautiful, to hang it in a museum, what else can I say? is just spectacular.

Hans Zimmer and Benjamin Wallfisch's score, while it does not live up to what Vangelis did is actually pretty good, coupled with the outstanding sound design and sound effects, the film sounds awesome, I had never felt a movie theater vibrate that way.

Now I must speak of the bad things, which is not much but undoubtedly they do have effects in the film, the main one has to do with the way in which certain elements of the plot are carried and the rhythm of the narrative, that has nothing to do with the film's length because even though it lasts almost three hours, the film does not feel overlong at all, it's just that there are slow passages that stop the film a lot and they affect the general fluidity of the narrative.
Another problem has to do with the loose ends, the most surprising one has to do with Wallace - Leto's character - because we do not know what the **** happens with him and it's clear that his character has more at stake than what was seen and the way he disappears from the film is rude and unbelievably unsatisfactory. Those are the only reasons why I don't give it a ten but after that threshold, the movie is excellent.

Blade Runner 2049 is one of the best sequels in history, as I said it earlier is totally worthy to carry the title and also has the total right to erect itself as a complete and solid work of its own. Another home run for Villeneuve I'm more than ready and excited to see what he will do with Dune.

You may not like it; I honestly think it's not for all audiences, especially those who consume mostly or totally commercial films, nothing bad in it but at least if you are going to judge the film, judge it for what it is, no for what you expected.… Expand

Trying to find answers to his questions, Kay begins looking for the former "blade runner" Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), who disappeared without a trace 30 years ago. The extraordinary work of Roger Dickins deserves all sorts of praises and awards (Oscar winner finally?), and Denis Villeneuve continued the film of Sir Ridley Scott with dignity. This is a Denis's own film, which hardly fit into the standard understanding of the sequel. But a very long timing (~2 hours 43 minutes) is able to tire even those who are very pleased with the movie.… Expand

I cannot stress enough to see this movie only seeing the first trailer to come out and because I don’t want to spoil the story I wont be delving into the summary of the film only the reasons it deserves your attention.. My expectations were set at this middling point of ok fro this film. I though they are either building upon the classic sci-fi masterpiece Blade Runner (released in 1982), or they are delivering this film for a complete cash in and an investment banking on the new generation liking it inevitably setting up future films they aren't necessary franchise films. But that’s the key word in describing Blade Runners brilliance, necessary. Sequels hardly ever do good because they weren't planned to be made, they feel like excess lore that usually feels only questionably fitting. But Blade Runner 2049 not only fits into the blade runner universe, but after seeing it I realized it filled a whole in my heart I didn’t realize I had. Blade Runner 2049 is going to be a pillar of a film I point to that stresses the masterful skill we have today. Roger Deacons , Hans Zimmer, and Dennis Villeneuve form a cinema dream team. The music rumbles with prestige at the perfect moments to exemplify the intensity in the scene. The cinematography is simply some of the best work I've seen from Roger Deacons (also known as one of the most revered and talented cinematographers to hit the industry) with such an expanded amount of colors and riveting set pieces truly do the job of immersing you in this universe. And Dennis Villeneuve has proven himself a master in this new era of film making; transcending one of the greatest films ever made with a story (which I wont spoil) that hooks you with thought provoking themes, sharp turns to keep from falling into predictableness and tugging on the moral heartstrings fantastically all while building these few but very memorable characters with unflinching performances. Everything is delivered with such refinement, Blade Runner 2049 earns the respect from new film goers and fans of the original alike, being one of the greatest sequels ever made and the best film of the year.… Expand

Its pacing is similar to the original and not even closer to what the trailer let us thought would be a frenetic action film.
Plot is deep and well led by the main mystery which I found unexpected and very well-chosen. And the cast performs really well, special mention to Ryan Gosling and its character.
There is not doubt the movie is visually impeccable, however I had opposed feelings about it. I found it not to be exactly faithful to the original with too much light in general and partially losing the retro aspect of the original.
The sound was OK, but far away from the greatness of the original and you can easily notice it when a piece of the 82's movie sounds in the new film.
I cannot say if new audiences will like it, but for those who already knew Blade Runner it will be at least a decent sequel.… Expand

In most “good looking” films, it's easy to find several scenes in images where your eyesIt's been years since I've experienced a movie in theatres where almost every image left me in awe. Not impressed, not merely captivated, but in awe. In most “good looking” films, it's easy to find several scenes in images where your eyes feel like shrugging compared to the rest of the film's imagery. It was difficult to find very many scenes like that in Blade Runner 2049. Even when there's next to no visual action going on in the frame, these images still find a way to impress. But thankfully, there's more to Blade Runner 2049 than just pretty pictures. Director Denis Villeneuve never forgets that this is a Blade Runner movie, a dark mystery about what it really means to be human in a world filled to the brim with advanced technology. The lovely visuals aid the story, instead of trying to bury it.

The sound design also really helps in bringing this troubled world to life. The musical score, while lacking the magic of Vangelis's score for the original film, still works in harmony with the moods and emotions for each scene. From throat-singing in Wallace's (Jared Leto) chamber, to the menacing drums used for a futuristic L.A.P.D. tower, to the playful chimes used in Detective K's romantic encounters with the optimistic Joi (Ana De Armas); these little touches in the soundtrack truly emphasize the emotion of each scene. Again, supporting the film, not trying to make up for it. It's a miracle that this soundtrack turned out as good as it did, considering the last minute change of composers and the fact that the soundtrack is almost entirely original. And of course, a dystopia could never come to life without convincing sound effects, and Blade Runner 2049 is no exception. This is an overused statement, but every sound used outside of the soundtrack truly feels real. No blaster sounds, no explosions that sound way quieter than they should, and no other silly overused sci-fi sound effects. Every bang, crash, jump, shot, step, and yell sounds exactly like it should. For example, in Dave Bautista's scene, we originally find him farming in a heavy radioactive suit. And with that moment, we can hear the heavy steps, echoes, and breathing that would go on in such a suit. The audience is there in his suit, and we didn't need any cheap POV or overlong establishing shots to get that level of immersion. It's such a short, inconsequential scene, but it's impressive that even the smallest scenes in Blade Runner 2049 are trying to pull you into its world instead of pushing you away.

And then, we arrive at the final stage of crafting a fictional world: the characters. Admittedly, there are few characters that feel like they never get any time to properly develop. Although, looking back at the film, maybe that's because I enjoyed their company so much. Ryan Gosling, an actor who should win the most improved actor award at this point, is perfect as a morally conflicted detective. I truly believed every step of his struggle, every emotion he conveyed, and every blow to his face. And this is all done without a shred of overacting or “phoning it in”, so to speak. Harrison Ford, reprising his role as Deckard, feels like he's actually acting this time. I was afraid that he was gonna “Bruce Willis” this important role, but he actually delivered. Is it because Harrison actually cares about this character? Or because the director cared enough to get him to actually act? Who knows? What matters is that he conveys a character that is both emotionally devastated and slightly desensitized to his previous events. All of the actors also suit their characters quite well, especially Jared Leto as Wallace and Ana De Armas as Joi. The actors certainly make the film's world all the more interesting and emotional, even when the story and writing fail to do so.

It truly shows how special this film is, however, that these story flaws seem so small. This is still an intriguing mystery story with a lot of tricks up it's sleeve, even for longtime fans of Blade Runner and dystopian Science Fiction. It's also impressive that the film never loses touch of it's themes, like the first film this is still a story about how life and reality can even be considered special in a society filled with technology and prejudice. And it's a breath of fresh air that every aspect of the film effectively conveys that message, instead of just a clever script and a few great performances. Yes, the film isn't quite as smart or clever as it's predecessor, but any movie that gets even close to reaching the magic of Blade Runner is well worth your time. The visual experience alone is worth the price of admission, but thankfully there's so much more lurking beneath the smooth surface.
