The story, cinematography, acting, and sound are as good as you could hope for and this is the best follow up to any film I've seen.

This movie checks all the correct boxes. Deep and complex characters, great and inspired acting, beautiful and artistic settings and scenery and cinematography, fantastic music and sounds, and a story that is subtle and interesting and pulls you in. This director, Denis Villeneuve, is creating the best science fiction of this generation, and perhaps the best science fiction ever. I couldn't have enjoyed this film any more.… Expand

The world is rich and layered, and the film sets up the reveals very well. I think Villeneuve is a masterful filmmaker, who clearly has a lot of respect for the Blade Runner story and lore. You can tell he's a fan. The cinematography is incredible. Ryan Gosling does a good job of portraying a replicant who must toe the line and have a solid baseline but is conflicted by what he finds out. The soundtrack is another plus. There are a lot of quiet moments here, but the music punctuates the scenes beautifully when it's needed. It's worth repeated viewings to unearth new meanings.… Expand

I expected a movie with some scenes reminiscent of the original epic film. What I received was answers to the lingering questions I've had since I saw Bladerunner in 1982. The love of the original is evident in this followup. The subtle nod to Rutger Hauer's scene left me breathless. If you're an unfeeling angry cynic who sat down to this movie expecting to hate it, I feel sorry for you. I never considered that Ridley Scott might outdo himself after Prometheus. I stand corrected. This was a beautiful moving picture.… Expand

Spare and sensual, with an extraordinary central performance by Ryan Gosling, great plotting and dialogue in an examination of the nature of love, of memory and of identity. The best ofYes, a masterpiece of canon, and style, and production. Spare and sensual, with an extraordinary central performance by Ryan Gosling, great plotting and dialogue in an examination of the nature of love, of memory and of identity. The best of science fiction in that it explores who we really are under almost inconceivable stresses.

You can feel the love and effort poured into this movie in every second of film. The music evokes and expands on the original, returns us to this future we know so well from so long ago now.

Remember: Science fiction has no ceiling.

10 stars.

Update:
I've just seen Blade Runner 2049 for the third time today. I've never done this before for any movie.

Extraordinary. Wonderful. A true masterpiece. Each time I see it, it gets better, deeper, and more profound. The script, direction and performances are flawless.
The gentle love scene with the hologram Joi actively blending with the real girl Mariette, matching their movements, to allow Joi to physically express her love for K is exquisite. Astonishing. The best and most extraordinary love scene I've ever experienced in the cinema. I wept.

So much of this movie is so profound, so searching and wonderful. The themes of identity, memory, and love are explored with joy and respect. I will see the movie again, in a week or so.… Expand

The acting and writing superb, atmosphere is glowing and awe-inspiring, the direction is top-notch, and the story is just as great as the first one. The score by Hans Zimmer and Ben Wallfisch is arguably the best of the year and holds true to Vangelis' original score and exceeds it in many ways. This film encapsulates everything a movie sequel or remake should do: expand on the original's ideas and improve on it.

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

Denis Villeneuve ne se contente pas simplement de raconter une histoire en présentant une série de plans rapides, mais il prend le temps de partager le moment tel que vécu par les personnages. Il explore les différentes perspectives d’une scène afin d’accentuer son impact. De plus, il stimule notre sens auditif comme moyen mnémonique en référence à d’autres scènes.

> Related media: It is a sequel to 1982's Blade Runner, which was itself based on the novel 'Do androids dream of electric sheep?'. That original film has a novel based on it and three other sequel novels. I have not seen nor read any of them, but I have heard a lot about the film and I know its story, generally.
> What's it like?: It borrows the dystopian style of the original film and tells the story of a new LAPD blade runner (officer tasked with killing rogue replicants) named K, who is himself, a replicant (artificially-built humans). His job and investigation leads him to discover more about himself and about a major secret about the replicants.
> Pros: > 1) It has great visual- and audio-styles and great visual- and audio-effects. I look forward to it winning many major awards. > 2) The story, script and acting are also great and there are some awards possible there too. This film is directed by Denis Villeneuve not Ridley Scott, and considering the latter's recent films, that's a good thing. > 3) The film presents many interesting futuristic things. > Cons: > 1. It may be able to lose some 15 minutes by speeding up some parts slowed down unnecessarily for artistic reasons. > How would the the different age groups rate it?
Children: (not rated for children)
Teens: Average (It's probably a bit too complex and slow for the general teen.)
Young adults: Excellent
Medium age adults: Excellent
Old adults: Good > Rating: 5/5 (no half scores). Pay to watch it in the cinema and then buy the DVD.… Expand

It's quite clear that both Blade Runners happen in the same universe. And I love how this one has several ways of tying back to the original while still being it's own unique vision of such a dystopian future that was originated by Ridley Scott so many years ago. The visuals in this film are a constant mental feast! Each scene is worthy of framing as art and if the cinematographer doesn't receive an Oscar, then no one is worthy of such an accolade. What is so intriguing about this movie is that while it does answer some questions, it actually raises others, especially more-so than the original. That is no easy task for a sequel and one that you will spend days contemplating afterwards. I must also credit the acting here as each character forges their own unique path and one that sends echoes intersecting everyone else. I would not be at all surprised if Harrison Ford receives a nomination considering this is his best performance in, dare I say, at least a decade! Please don't be turned off by the 2hr 43min running time. It felt like 90 minutes to me and it's one of those films that you're sad to see end. For it were possible, I would prefer it go on indefinitely. This is a treasure that MUST be seen in theaters (almost just for the musical score itself!). You will be sad if you don't!… Expand

My expectations were low, but the story of 2049 griped me from the very start and it just didn't let go. The styling of the movie – camera, the settings, the costumes and of course most importantly, the actors and the acting are all fantastic. Some stunnig visual scences are absolutely original, e. g. K's interaction with his hologram girlfriend. The engaging narrative is building noir, dystopian vision and the atmosphere that is thought provoking in contemporary highly uncertain global society with rapid technological leaps forward making celebrated, but for general population disturbing innovative disruptions. The rise of AI and its troubled relations with humans is presented well. For me, this film is as an event, movie of outstanding quality, a kind of one in ten years movie. The last so engaging science fiction was the first Matrix movie.… Expand

After all, even in 2049, the apple must does not fall far from the tree.… Expand

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

Well, the first Blade Runner had a slow almost non-existent main plot: Deckard hunts for some replicants. What made it a great movie was the atmosphere, visuals, and philosophical implications. The movie conveyed exactly the same feeling like the original Blade Runner. The thing is, cinematic techniques evolved. A movie carbon copy of Blade Runner released today won't give the same feeling like back then. And it's amazing Dennis managed to capture that feeling with this sequel. He truly is a master of the craft

While seemingly the film lacked a final "The C-Beams Speech", it actually didn't, because it started with one, "never witness a miracle"

The movie is great. It's slow, but I loved it this way, because a fast movie will make all the visual go to waste. Just don't watch it tired or as an action flick. While the plot line is not his strongest point (neither was the first's movie) it's still engaging, fresh and it doesn't keep you bored. Enjoy the movie as it should: a visual experience… Expand

The absolute best thing of this movie is theA super smart, dark, mysterious, and methodical sci-fi flick that we rarely get these days. It's an anti toxin for all the popcorn, blow 'em up action movies masquerading around as sci-fi. The absolute best thing of this movie is the atmosphere, backed by a near 200 million dollar budget this futuristic world comes to life and leaves you wanting to see more of it even after the near 3 hour runtime. Flying cars, super realistic ruined landscapes, holographic advertisement in the streets, and amazing sound effects bring it all too life.

Acting there wasn't a bad character in the film. Most stoic in personality, too match the oppressed world. Gosling is solid, although not quite oscar worthy I'd say. At one point he yells at the top of his lungs when he finds out a critical piece of information, it was one of the best moments for him and the film could use a little more of that from him. Silvia Hoeks is downright chilling as the central villain, a little too "female terminator" at the end but one of the most convincing female villains I've seen. Overall the women in this show brought the movie up from good to excellent. All were spot on in their roles and memorable characters. Ford is featured less in the film than the advertisements might indicate. He did better in this than in the Force Awakens, partly from having a more important, convincing role. Quibbles as I said before, Gosling could run the gamut of emotions a little more often. The final fight scene a little overdone, and a few too many things put in for sequel purposes (which we may never get). There are a ton of details packed in this movie. You'll need at least 2 viewings to catch everything. Too bad it didn't perform as good as expected, we may never see another true sci-fi epic on this scale.… Expand

The layers upon layers that this movie builds up and then peels away are jaw-dropping. Beyond the great plot, the film oozes with symbolical substance that adds to the impact of the story whether it be visually or musically. Biblical, political, environmental, universal themes are all added as spices to this delicious concoction of science-fiction glory. Every scene and nuance is cinematic gold. The most consistently outstanding cinematography I've seen in a long time. Great movies believe their audience to be intelligent, this film believes so and is actively trying to outfox you, always being one step ahead and thus making the viewer wonder what is next while leaving food for thought for a second viewing. Once you have reached the core at the end, you feel as though you have been unraveled yourself. The 2hr 45min runtime gave them the perfect time to give us the best possible sequel they could and they surpassed all expectations with an epic. You'd think it's a long time but not when you are hooked from the first shot. This is the greatest sci-fi trip since The Matrix. I recommend seeing it in IMAX or another large format theater.

The aesthetics and soundtrack of this film are IMPECCABLE! One of the best I've ever seen, I am obsessed. I didn't even notice the 3 hours of duration, because I was delighted with all the stories that the details tell.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It is best movie in 2017 year. I want to watch this movie every day. Denis Villeneuve surpassed Scott's original film. Visual effects, acting music, camera work is just the best thing in the film. Harrison Ford is still capable of such films. The music in the film is simply unsurpassed. The film is just 10/10… Expand

In a world filled with nothing but countless setups for gigantic movie universes (with some of them being great),we finally have a movie that,even if it's a sequel,can FINALLY breath its own fresh air. This is what Blade Runner 2049 feelsIn a world filled with nothing but countless setups for gigantic movie universes (with some of them being great),we finally have a movie that,even if it's a sequel,can FINALLY breath its own fresh air. This is what Blade Runner 2049 feels like. A BIG proof that there is still some cinematic air to breathe (Oh,and that Sony can still live in making movies). Even the fact that it's directed by Denis Villeneuve (the guy behind the intriguing 'Arrival') can tell its authenticity,with a story that won't disappoint the fans,especially if it's a 153-minute movie where you can barely find a moment where the movie gets weak or nonsensical. Aside from the story,everything else is flaw-free. Roger Deakins (13-time Oscar nominated) still manages to make beautiful shots with its cinematography (give the man a Creepin' Oscar!). If actors like Ryan Gosling or Harrison Ford have a long or a short screen-time,it's still works,since they had some terrific performances. All the Special Effects in the movie,just like the story,had its own life,from gigantic holograms to life-like buildings to flying cars (a thing that we're now supposed to have,i guess...) and you could even see the drastic change from 1982 to 2017. The only flaw i have with this movie is the kind of flaw that a movie like Blade Runner has,and that's the pacing. It gets from severe to calm,then gets action-packed all of the sudden. But aside from the 'uncountable' flaw,there's,as i said,nothing else to pinpoint about. If you're a fan of the original,you'll enjoy it at best,but if you're looking for a movie that doesn't act like a comic-book movie or a gigantic set-up movie,this should perfectly do the trick for you. Blade Runner 2049 is astounding and i can't recommend it enough,as it's one of the best movies of 2017 and THE best sequel of all-time. (as if the SW movies and The Dark Knight were strongly weak compared to this)… Expand

However, it seems much like the original, that Blade Runner 2049 will not meet its status as an iconic sci-fi film for some years to come. This is a visual masterpiece, depicting the most beautiful ruin of a city that has graced a film. From beginning to end in its 2h 44min run-time, it captivates the wonder of a decrepit dystopian world, all of which is shot beautifully by the incomparable Roger Deakins. The cast led by Ryan Gosling who plays "K" and Harrison Ford who returns as "Rick Deckard", act superbly to create an awe-inspiring film on the big screen. Under the direction of Denis Villeneuve, Blade Runner 2049 shows that he is one of the most talented directors and one of the few masters of storytelling in the movie business today.… Expand

This is a true successor to the original Blade Runner, and is a completely self contained story. There is no sequel baiting here, though one could be made if they wanted to. This is unlikely though, seeing as how, while highly rated, the film just didn't bring in the audiences to make the kind of money that the production company was hoping for, and it's made quite a bit more money over seas than in the American market. It did make back it's budgeted money and with a small profit to boot, but the numbers just aren't there such that this will likely be the last Blade Runner movie. That being said, this movie will certainly live on as a sci-fi cult classic for years to come! This is easily the best movie that I have seen all year. The acting was superb by everyone, especially Ryan Gossling. Honestly, I haven't been a huge fan of Ryan as he normally acts in a lot of romance and artsy fartsy types of films that don't interest me much (see "The Notebook" and "La La Land"), but this movie showed me what a broad actor he truly is and the depth of his acting ability. As for aesthetics, the movie is beautifully shot. The cinematography is very cool and the CGI isn't noticeable. The story is also amazing. It more than lives up to the standards set in the first film and in my opinion surpasses it. Also, in some ways, BR 2049 more resembles the original work "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" by Philip K. Dick (the book that Blade Runner is based on) than the first film. Obviously neither film are really all that close to the book except in general concepts, but 2049 captures the dystopia portrayed in the book much better than the first movie did, likely due to advances in our film technology. I won't go into the story too much as I don't want to spoil anything. All I will say is that this film explores many of the same questions in the first movie and then some, with plenty of twists and turns and revelations to keep you hooked from beginning to end.

Denis Villeneuve as director, once again proves himself to be a true modern master. Many people have been complaining about where the next generation of genius directors are to replace people like Coppola, Scorsese, Spielburg, Kubrick, Stone, and Scott. With the exception of the Cohen and Nolan brothers we seem to be in a drought in our modern age of new upcoming genius directors, especially when the lions share of films are made by Michael "BOOM SPLOSIONS" Bay and J.J. "Lens Flare" Abrams. Well, one day we may very well be adding Villeneuve to that list of true masters if he continues to create movies like this.

Conclusion: If it's still in your local theater, GO SEE BLADE RUNNER 2049! It's my choice for Best Picture, and it would be criminal in my book if it wan't even nominated.… Expand

While some may say this is the weak point of this film I love this since it just makes the movie even more interesting by introducing and developing character, which I personally find important in a movie for it to be engaging to me. Another part of this film that I loved was the overall aesthetic of the environment, with its futuristic, gloomy California it creates a very iconic setting for the film. The story and cast however are definitely the centerpieces of the film, since the cast was chosen very well to match their characters, and the story is just unimaginably well written in my opinion.… Expand

It's fitting that the film has divided audiences the way it has. Seems appropriate to the Blade Runner mythos. I think its achievements swamp its weaknesses. This is an immediate classic and at least the equal to its predecessor.
