Dry and bold, how I like my sci-fi. I want to walk around in a sweaty leather duster with the collar popped up like a blade runner and just be totally hounded and made fun of while listening to that score to protect me. Jared Leto fucked several appliances to get into the mind of his gimmicky character.

Daddy Issues: A Harrison Ford Saga. Jared Leto is to method acting what my dad is to parenting. Ryan Gosling wins an Oscar for mastering the Kuleshov effect. Do Androids Dream of Electric Boogaloo?

Probably one of the best sci/fis of the 2010s, and one of the best sequels ever made. Gosling is truly magnetic and made for the role, and I would argue that the whole cast is pretty superb. Beautiful cinematography, amazing visual effects and production design, good directing, and good writing. Everything that was done so well about the first installment is done just as well here, and in the end, this recaptures the feel of the original very well. Definitely one of this years best.

An obvious labor of love from Villeneuve. Really one of the most faithful sequels in spirit since Aliens or maybe Transformers: Dark of the Moon which used meticulous effort to maintain the thoroughly exasperating nature as the previous entries. Between this and Sicario I desperately want Denis to shelve his Dune project long enough to put out a film adaptation of the SNES game Shadowrun.

I loved, loved, loved the first scene, and I thought that Villeneuve's direction was more than able to sustain the leisurely pacing throughout. Moreover, Gosling was quite perfectly cast, as was Armas. However, the scenes with Leto and those with and pertaining to Ford's character I wasn't very happy with, and I found the script rather underwhelming as a whole. Nonetheless, it's a movie I can see myself rewatching repeatedly in order to soak up it's atmosphere and delicious visuals.

Visually its the best looking since Fury Road, sequences of absolute magnitude are just lined up one after the other. World building sci-fi that honors its predecessor, shines on it's own terms and has impressive performances from Gosling and Armas. Dying to jump back into Villeneuve's vision again and again.

Villeneuve's slow, moody, ambient-drenched handling of the material is exactly what I was hoping for. A sequel not simply offering a dumbed down do-over but actually building on what came before without becoming insufferably wink-nudge-y. Interesting themes, strong acting, gorgeous sets and effective reveals.

Blade Runner 2049 serves as both it's own contained film and as an incredibly satisfying sequel to one of my favourite films ever. Denis Villeneuve stepping into the shoes of Ridley Scott feels both seamlessly familiar yet refreshingly new and together with cinematographer Roger Deakins they have crafted a truly spectacular and thought provoking cinematic experience. Ryan Gosling gives an impressive leading performance and there are many fan pleasing touches and unexpected surprises throughout.

After waiting more than three decades for real-world technology to catch up with that of the Blade Runner universe, Ridley Scott is finally able to move forward with the production of this long-awaited sequel upon discovering that Ryan Gosling is, in fact, the emotionless Replicant he'd been looking for to play K. It was doubly fun to learn that in the dark days of a dying Earth, Seiko watches still sell enough to ensure the corporation can maintain a branch office in downtown Los Angeles.

Conflicted about this one. It's a solid sci-fi flick that stands above the cookie-cutter blockbusters of today. It is patient and methodical, and doesn't bombard you with pointless action. It nails the visual aesthetics and the moody, ambient OST. But neither the characters nor the plot leave a lasting impression. There are no stand-out/memorable performances, and the story, for all its added complexities, never feels fresh. If not for its connection to BR, not sure it stands the test of time.

Another page has been turned in Sequel Madness, an era where humans uncover old artifacts and reanimate them to the best of their abilities, mostly with negative results. However, this time, somewhat remarkably, Blade Runner's world has been successfully revivified. What I thought was dead is alive. Cool. The narrative stumbles, bogged down by nostalgic moments and some clumsy melodrama, but it sticks to its hard sci-fi guns, and in spite of its faults, the story is...good. I liked this.

Lacks the ambiguity that made the original great. There's never much mystery about what's going to happen, the dialogue is dull and must be mystifying to anyone unfamiliar with the first one, the characters' motivations are unengaging and the philosophizing is shallow. There's some great visuals and plenty of Sony product placement in case you forget who distributed the flick.

The high rating is for the transcendent visuals and sound. I found the story to be painfully misguided at times, despite the heavy presence of theme. What on earth were they doing with Leto's character? I appreciate the careful, meditative pacing, but try to turn off your brain as much as you can. This strange combo of thoughtful aesthetic and shallow narrative created one of the most baffling experiences I've had in the theater all year.

Kudos to the filmmakers who don't conform to modern ideas of a hit film & fill this with a lot of action. As in the original, the focus remains on playing with the idea of what constitutes a person, but the variations here are fresh, inverting the by-now common sci-fi trope by having a replicant begin to discover that they might, in fact, be "human". As before, the pacing remains slow enough to deter the average movie goer, but it's filled with new beautiful images to gaze at & ponder its ideas

Absolutely incredible. Thematically and stylistically consistent with Scotts masterpiece, but also something special in its own right. The pacing and editing are so beautifully measured and deliberate. The whole film; its concepts, characters and created world are given the time they need to breathe and to intensify. Mix in a perfectly cast Gosling, a badass Sylvia Hoeks, jaw dropping visuals and sound, and this is 2017's best. Way beyond expectations and all credit to Villeneuve.

There was no way to do this without ruining the original to some extent, and of all the possible angles to elaborate upon (which weren't many), they chose probably the worst. All points go to the supreme execution. Deakins owns his shots as always and thankfully refused to just copy cronenweth. Then again, my mind missed a crucial noir-feeling to effectively link it to 82's masterpiece. it's a good movie, no doubt. but ultimately i ask myself: is "good" enough to touch a timeless classic?

I love Blade Runner. This is a respectful & finely crafted loveletter to it. Takes great care in conjuring amazing audiovisual homages to it but lacks both stylistic & character nuance that gave it depth. There were so many creative visions, contradictory yet complementary behind the original it became immune to simplification & overstatement. This is the opposite & feels like a very very good fan film. Weirdly enough Wong's 2046 is a better Blade Runner sequel than Villeneuve's 2049.

I had qualms about a lack of a good plot backbone in the first one (which I watched recently before watching this and I think that helped) and then this one delivered on that front. It's fascinating both visually and thematically and it has some great moments peppered throughout. It was a teensy bit long and the little voiceover reminders etc. annoyed me a tad but very impressed overall.

*RR* Whether it be my general distaste for the original, or my disposition on the particular night I saw it, my initial reaction to "Blade Runner 2049" was not a positive one, to say the least. But now, with the benefit of having the first film fresh in my mind, I can safely say that "2049" is not just a good film, but a great one, a movie with a great many observations on what it means to be human, told through spellbinding visuals, a haunting score, and stellar performances.

If you were to really try and unpack the plot, I think most would agree that there is not a lot to it, it isn't particularly creative, and is extended way beyond a runtime that can be considered appropriate. But the film is seductive, and one of intense aesthetic design. I think what I'm trying to say is I didn't know you could polish a turd so brightly.

The movie strikes a perfect balance between being original and paying tribute (unlike, say Star Wars movies for example). They evolved the Blade Runner setting impressively and set out a convincing, strong story. Visually it was pretty special together with all-around excellent acting and a great variation of the instrumental soundtrack of the original. I found the presence of Ford a bit superfluous but it was not that much of a drag. I think we can trust Villeneuve even with Clockwork Orange 2.

I can't believe Denis Villeneuve managed to make a sequel to fucking Blade Runner that not only matches up to the original, but actually complements it and elevates it. Smartly, Blade Runner 2049 refuses to relitigate the same questions and themes the original raised, instead opting to ask new and exciting questions. It subverts nostalgia in really intelligent and intriguing ways. This is absolutely my favorite film of 2017 and probably the best sequel to any movie since Fury Road.

One of the rare decades-later sequel that is a success, BR2049 expands upon the original but also works as a standalone movie. It is uniformly well acted, looks fantastic and has an in-your-face overbearing soundtrack that I liked. The overall story is ambiguous and thought provoking and doesn't give all the answers you want, but it does have a satisfying ending. Minimal but effective use of Harrison Ford as Deckard. My main criticisms are that the pacing is languid and it feels bloated at times

Where the '82 film played with death & solipsism/memory with regard to what it meant to be human; BR49 wonders if these questions even matter. Like the original, the score & visuals are otherworldly & beautiful. A collapsed hedonic neon past given way to a broken, dusty dystopia. Humanity is simply gone. We're left to salvage hope from an AI bot and its/her replicant lover. 2049 did lack a Roy Batty; memorable lines to fill your soul with a surprising humanity. But BR49 is still a great film.

Jaw-dropping in how impressively shot it is, in conjunction with the amazing music, that makes this futuristic setting feel so much like lost ancient times. However, this admirable reboot questions its own existence, as it simply serves as a convoluted and thoroughly extended continuation of the original (highlighting how succinct it always was) and spends a lot of time saying nothing. Certainly missing that Roy Batty warmth, this may appeal more to androids than humans.

the humanity of the original, ironically epitomised by roy, was endangered, dangerous and vital, charged with mortal fear and wonder, heroically attempting to shatter the film's omniscient apathy. villeneuve ramps up the latter threefold to extremely striking and alienating effect, but as per usual the emotional arc hiding underneath is pretty safe 'n tidy, and the whole endeavor is so shackled by self-awareness (sup PALE FIRE) that too many ingredients are used, few of them cooked long enough.

I don't much care for the original, this is streets ahead. At times feels a little overlong and/or wandering but is always visually arresting. I don't think the theater I was in could handle the POWAH of the musical score as the room was shaking constantly and the lighting fixtures rattled so loudly they sounded like they were going to pop off the walls and break.

First of all, I did really enjoy the film, especially the visuals, mood and pacing reminiscent of the original. Mainly I just wasn't sold on the central plot idea. We get the whole "androids are people too" thing. This was corny and unrealistic, if that word can be applied to a sci-fi movie. In addition, several things got old: that one heavy synth-bass effect strewn about, Gosling's tiny crooked smirk, and things like the Plain of Titanic Naked Statues. But honest, I still liked the movie.

The very short list of great sci-fi sequels just got a bit longer. It's not without blemishes (a bit of terrible exposition and some weak plot points), but as a whole Villeneuve's daunting challenge has turned into an atmospheric, thought provoking, technically impressive and pleasingly mature tale in its own right.

overrated | 82 91% |

Mixed feelings, Villeneuve gets the visual aesthetic and the not-Vangelis score right but I wasn't sold on the substance. The original is low-key noir, whereas 2049 escalates the plot into an apocalyptic/revolutionary crescendo that nominally raises the stakes but feels out of place in a Blade Runner movie. The dialogue & visual metaphors about machines, souls & miracles felt extremely heavy-handed, and Ford's reprisal of Deckard is more Indy than Deckard. Still, 2049 is good on its own merits.

Unquestionably gorgeous and powerfully atypical, but ultimately disappointing due to a questionable plot with too many unnecessary elements. A simpler, more straightforward story with fewer characters and deeper subtext would have served the filmmakers and the world of Blade Runner better. Tremendous visuals, though. Really. And magnificent bursts of action.

Probably bumped due to some of the aesthetic continuity, but the script and spoon-fed narrative made it painful to watch at times. Jared Leto playing a stock jrpg antagonist was especially bad. It doesn't come close to capturing the moody, melancholy atmosphere of the original either - too much twee, too much foghorn.

I was incredibly dubious to a sequel to my beloved sci-fi masterpiece. I was 10 or 11 when my dad showed me the original and I was stunned at its odd mix of future and past, the cold reality, and slick noir. I was so pleasantly pleased with the sequel capturing the look and feel that I can overlook some of the minor flaws (you would never know Ford is playing Deckard) because this is such a wonderfully filmed showcase. Gosling is fantastic and it solidifies Villeneuve as one of the elite.

I re-watched this because the first time I saw it I was exhausted. This is so, so good. Deakins is an unsung hero, Villeneuve has made the most beautiful movie of the year; a masterclass to the point that every shot could be a picture on a wall. The isolation/emptiness of many of the environments/scenes echoes the loneliness that the characters feel. Contemplative, intelligent, not boring upon a re-watch, excellent music. Sci-fi from a true auteur.

I'm surprised to see this movie so well received. If it expands upon the established universe, I fail to see how. Plot was never the forte of the original, but this one starts with our hero heading off into misty nowhere to kill a farmer. Then bones, a messiah, an evil "God" and 'member berries to no end ('Member Edward Olmos?!? 'Member Rachel??). No one ever asked for this, and I don't know what I'm supposed to take from it, other than they sure got good at color grading futuristic IKEA-sets...

If I was rating individual scenes, this would have a bunch of 10/10s, no question, thanks to some incredible visuals, sounds, turns, and Villeneuve's impeccable sense of tension and atmosphere (see the opening search, the horse discovery, Joshi vs. Luv, K and dreammaker Dr. Ana, the stunning final fight). Unfortunately, Leto's cliche villain and Deckard's return make for a less compelling and more tangential-feeling third act, at least plot and character-wise, keeping the film from perfection.

I enjoyed the ride and am completely enamored with Villeneuve's vision and pace. Yet the film's issues on mortality and the soul are packaged too neatly by the end - the film hints at an open wound, but wraps it up with a little too much care for its subject. So for me, the subplot with K and Joi was the heart of the movie. It left so much wanting, except for feeling. It is the ache that propels the film.

How. How did Villeneuve craft a film that fits snugly in Scott's 1982 universe while still being an original, thoughtful, aesthetically perfect piece of art? How did he fashion a sequel that will, in the future, be studied alongside its original in film classes? I truly cannot overstate how good this is. Everything about it. Deakins should finally get his Oscar, the entire ensemble is magic, the direction, pace, story, music -- flawless. This is the film to beat this year.

It's better than the first. The story is better and replaces the ultimately unsolved mystery of the first with a different mystery that actually gets answered. The acting is very good even when some of it seems emotionless. It actually makes sense in line with the story. Also it looks very very good. I think any movie that is 2 hours and 40 minutes is too long but I didn't feel the run time here.

Amazing photography and production. Slow but satisfying. Good dialogue - some noir lines, some Shakespearean lines. The "future Siri" was interesting, too. And it connected with the ideas in the movie. But it could have been written more powerfully.

2049 is slow, ponderous and has one of the worst scores in recent memory. It's also a motherfucking masterpiece, an Aliens-esque sequel that preserves the majesty of the original while expanding on its themes in spectacular fashion. Its story is clever and often coy, never giving away everything while creating interesting new questions to mull over, and, thankfully it never gives away the original's ambiguous ending. It's everything I wanted.

The rare sequel that retains what made the original great, while improving on the areas that needed improving. It's got the same moodiness, out-of-this-world visuals, and thoughtful ideas about what makes us human. But it really improved on story and pacing (though pacing was still a minor issue). Best of all, it took the now common trope of humans questioning their own humanity and flipped it on its head in a way that felt like the perfect extension of the ideas in the original.

Many elements in the film were brilliantly woven and the sub-plots were interesting, but the main plot of the movie was extremely trite and the characters were rather bland. But for what it's worth, I'm glad that the film choose to expand upon the original and be its own thing rather than relish in the nostalgia of the original. The movie is very interesting to look at, and the aesthetics are top notch. I just kinda wish that the main plot was better.

The less connected to the original this is, the better, because the premise meant to connect this story with the original (and to set up a cinematic universe ...) is silly. They tried but failed to reconcile the otherwise grounded nature of the world with the farcical premise. The protagonist's detective work and personal life, not a brewing replicant rebellion, is what should have been this movie's focus. It's good but it's undermined by studio interference.

Villeneuve has cemented himself as one of the new Great directors by creating what I didn't think was possible; a fantastic Successor movie. Terrific performances and astounding set pieces form something that is beautiful, thoughtful, tragic, and (most importantly) blissfully, glacially slow.

Enough can't be said about Villeneuve's craftsmanship, as Blade Runner 2049 is a visual and audio treat for the senses. The story is brooding and methodical as it saunters at its own pace. Did Blade Runner need a sequel? Certainly not, but the expanded and long look at the original's themes are well done. This comes down to how one likes their science fiction: long and ponderous or flashy and fast. This is certainly the former and it succeeds in that.

For me, the film is kept from true greatness by some stretches of needless exposition (Jared Leto) and some badly plotted moments. However, it is an audiovisual marvel, and it reminded me why I like movies so much. Gosling is fantastic.

A stunning masterpiece of photography and visual effects. Static frames, low-key scenes, loud action - virtually every shot is priceless, perfectly conceived and executed, as is the music. The script is very well-written too, although at almost three hours long one does get the feeling of "style over substance" here and there. For better or worse, it's even more slow-burning than the first film, with only a handful of (orgasmic) action scenes among the constant atmosphere and intriguing story.

And, after all this, all the ruins, the best threesome in movie history, all the waste, all the masculinity gone wrong, all the winks at the prequel that are simultaneously an act of emancipation, after all those 3 hours of pure cinema: the rain turns into snow. And Villeneuve can even find hope in climate change. Without being naive. He is doing this just with a heart and and absurd amount of craftsmanship.

Good, very good. A great technical marvel, and the performances were good. The script in the end feels a bit too predictable or simplistic at times, but for most of the duration of this film it kept me at the edge of my seat. Did not mind the running time, in fact, I think it would have been better if it was longer to flesh out the story and characters more. (Audio)visually beautiful, great atmosphere. Has its own style rather than copy the original. It did feel a bit artificial at times.

I'm glad I invested another watch of this. I still don't love it, but I like it more now. I deeply respect what the film is. It still struggles to make an emotional connection, despite its best efforts. It's such a beautiful movie; a display of technical mastery. I'm so glad Denis accomplished what he did with this. There's so much about it to like, and you should see it. I just didn't love it. Also, I'm not a Leto hater - but his role as exposition fairy kind of took me out of those key scenes.

You certainly couldn't ask for more from a Blockbuster of this magnitude. A tidal wave of visual astonishments that are synced with some strong curiosities about mortality and singularity. I've been digesting the film in fragments -. Its genuinely a heavy film, and something that will certainly leave its mark as a shift in the cinematic landscape.

Reconstitutes events of the original film in the most tasteful manner possible, managing at once reverence and organic expansion. If the first is about the hubris of men to simulate their image, then here is the hubris shattered, in no small part by the hand (or womb) of women. Where it's similar to the original is the imprint of the arthouse on an ostensible action blockbuster. It's low and slow, a quiet calm all the better to bask in the neon gloom, mutated biospheres, and reverberating synth.

So we have a blade runner who, while seeing off a harmless old replicant, amazingly finds the remains of another who had clearly given birth. This is bad, apparently. At that point, the script completely fell apart and if it wasnt for the imdb synopsis, I wouldnt have had a clue what was happening. For a running time of 3 hours, it seemed that it was all pretty easy for Gosling to stare at things ( reprising "Drive" and "Only God Forgives"), walk very slowly, and to piece everything together.

It's not very often that a sequel is better than the original, and rarer still that a sequel coming out more than ten years later is even good. But this movie is as starkly futuristic as the original, it is just as grand, just as atmospheric, just as contemplative, but simply better. Every single part of this movie is superb, down to the existential and moral questions it poses. Even during the long slow periods that are frequent in this movie, I couldn't help but be glued to the screen.

The word is out, Denis Villeneuve is a hack. Quite a talented hack, nonetheless. After viewing Sicario and Prisoners I already had my doubts, but after '2049' it can no longer be denied. Villeneuve knows how to emulate actual good films, borrows quite a bit, but never knows how to create greatness within those borrowed fundaments. Yes, the visuals are nice, yes it resembles a good film, but it all left me a tad cold. I walked out feeling empty,whereas the original thrills me, time and time again

This is a really good sci-fi film, but a bad blade runner movie. Ultimately Villeneuve and Deakins did their own thing, and the result is breathtakingly beautiful, but it's anchored to something it cannot live up to. Worth watching in a theater for the sound design and cinematography alone though.

The best rating you can give a completely unnecessary sequel: It spectacularly doesn't suck, doesn't change anything about the original, goes over some of the same issues from a different angle, and knows it was never going to be as iconic as the original. It seems more like A Day In The Life Of A Bladerunner and is nowhere near as WEIRD as the great SF movies... but damn, it knows what to do and it does it well. Bonus points for naming the protagonist Joseph K.

Visually stunning. Needs to be seen in a theatre, although the sound did over power the speakers in my theatre, but I think that's because I think Zimmer has actually gone deaf so he doesn't know how loud his scores are. And unlike the last Star Wars he was in it didn't seem like they had to force Harrison Ford to do this film.

It was very pretty and had good acting but, I dunno, it felt insubstantial. The original had a lot to say while this felt like a film trying to hide its muddled concept with nice visuals and big stars. That's not to say it isn't entertaining, it's just not much more than that.

The original Blade Runner was a movie about universal doubt. This is a movie full of reassuring certainties. Ponderous, dense with CGI, kung-fu fights, super-villains, pseudo-religious ramblings and "we'll win in the end", it's been written by a dumb teenager for a generation of dumb teenagers that get their pleasure from seeing the pieces of a puzzle fit together, no matter what picture they compose- or even if it makes sense. The soundtrack was bought at the soundtracks McDonald's.

An incredible visual world woven with scenes that make a person reinterpret what dystopia actually means and the evolution of technology and humanity. The conceptualization of sentience and humanity is shown to be a blurry line. We are spared the philosophical naval gazing and instead we experience first hand the uncertain human boundaries of an actual replicant. This more intimate look does not surpass the first film but is equally brilliant in building on its own themes in unexpected ways.

Visually stark and raw, occassionally loud and noisy like the 1st but gorgeous always. Sound and score spot on. Gosling nails it, brings immense power when needed... Has the pace of tarkovsky so watch out. Ponderous is the word. Have a few nitpicks with story points esp in connecting it to the 1st, also not convinced it has a philosophy anywhere near as intriguing. Hoeks plays a 007 henchman "bad dog" uttered as the worst line of the movie. Leto..well it must've looked good on paper.

Visually (and aurally) arresting sequel is overlong and lacks real substance; the final act delving into Deckard's psyche is the highpoint and could have been pushed further (Ford's beautifully pained and understated performance is a stand-out here). Gosling does his best with what is inescapably a cold and alien character; the 'twist' in his character ultimately feels like a cheat; it might have been more interesting if it had gone in another direction. Definitely benefits from a second watch.

Painstakingly slow and long. Not visually exciting enough. Not enough musical omnipresence. Too much badly written dialogue (which all seem to be hallmarks of Villeneuve's movies), not elevated by the actors, and too much bad writing in general. Especially in the last third. Which was frustratingly stupid and boring. Mostly. Juri, Ford and Hoeks were great.

Denis Villenueve and Roger Deakins sure make pretty looking movies. He just needs to find a writer so his movies are more than just pretty (see: Prisoners, Sicario). Could do this entire movie without Jared Leto and it would've been the same movie. Fortunately 2049 doesn't completely ruin the original - just kind of ruins it. It's cool, though, because money.

Blade Runner 2049 is one of the few too-late sequels that's actually worthwhile. It even improves on aspects of the original. Its narrative is more directly engaging and it looks even better. We become immersed in this world and love almost every minute of it. It looks and sounds fantastic, it's well-acted, and if it has an issue, it's that it feels about 20 minutes too long. All in all, it's a really great movie that can justify its existence. It's sad how few of these projects can sa [Full Review]

Stunning to look at, inventive sci-fi spliced with noir mystery, Villeneuve's Blade Runner does a fine job with world building and setup. The main factor working against it is excessive length and slowness. The deliberate pace runs some 20 or 30 minutes too far for my liking. The story has plenty of philosophical depth to chew on, but ultimately feels stylistically and thematically very similar to the original, making it a rehash rather than a sequel, and probably forever the lesser film, to me.

It's not as effortless as the original was in establishing an emotional connection, and you can predict where the plot is going most of the time. That being said, it serves as a fully realized sci-fi story of its own, and there's enough turns away from what you expect to happen to keep things interesting. A few scenes even reach the level to stick in your mind for days to come (the threesome, several spoiler scenes). Good to see big-budget set design in a modern film again.

This takes everything that was already great about the original and smooths down the rough edges. It is one of the best looking films of all time and slow enough to allow the watcher to appreciate both the spectacular visuals and the expanded themes. It is both depressing and uplifting in only the way a sci-fi dystopia can be.

I have issues with the script. Some key questions are still unanswered. Contrary to the first movie, it has no meaningfull aphorism. It was another disappointment that they demolished the promising characters who could shine. Nevertheless, this movie is a visually perfectness and this fact makes it attractive. So we should appreciate Roger Deakins and the talented Denis Villeneuve for increasing the value of this work.

Despite the technical perfection of Villeneuve's direction, Blade Runner 2049 doesn't have the narrative muscle to provide sufficient substance to its 163-minute runtime. It never bores thanks to its constant beauty, but there's no denying how meandering this film can get. Part of this is because a significant chunk of time early on is dedicated to establishing necessary subplots for the climax, but the visuals also overwhelm to the point where in some scenes the plot can be missed entirel

Villeneuve leaves the noir and the baroque/neo-renaissance of the 1° Blade Runner to make a thriller with a more generic sci-fi scenography, a cold world that has lost humanity. It's good because V. didn't just copy Scott, but that style was what made Blade Runner stand out aesthetically. The story is about a main character that discovers to not be a main character, just an average Joe: very cyberpunk-y. 2049 is less about "what is humanity" and more about memory/identity, a topic loved by V.

A beautifully austere and thoughtful meditation on humanity just like the first; if it lacks for anything, it's the original's acute sense of arch, genre-bending weirdness.

Visuals & atmosphere were really impressive though the pacing was not as meditative as I was expecting (too much flying and too much location change). The central idea is that there is a 'modality' of humanity, which can be partaken in by non-human beings as well. In that sense, it radically differs from movies like Matrix which tie the ontology of 'humannnes' to the ontic being of authentic human body. But at the the end of the day, both are Platonic visions of melodramatic humanity.

It is very difficult not to admire the relaxed cinematographic style of Villeneuve, the story follows his own pace, he is not rushing anywhere. However, I'd think Philip K.

First of all it's utterly boring no matter how gorgeous it looks. Ryan Gosling is also pretty boring but not compared to his extremely boring virtual relationship. Jared Leto is, of course, laughable and lines like "the emptiness between the stars" (or whatever) is such a far cry from Rutger Hauer's that it's an embarrassment. The Elvis gimmick is just plain awful, and product placement is all over the place, but that's the least of problems in this tedious and pretentious bore of a movie.

Ryan Gosling was good and Ana de Armas was oh so sweet. The story was a bit overbearing and brutal and there were a few confusing plot points. Full of action, suspense and intrigue. Uneven pacing.

The vibrancy and detail of the city is missing here, there are tons of buildings seen from smoggy aerial views but only one scene where Gosling is eating that any of the people that live in them show up. Everything else is 1 or 2 people and a big empty setting. Field trips to San Diego and Las Vegas are unneeded. The opening shot of endless solar power plants and covered farms are the best world building here but then are forgotten- I want to see a movie about that.

Compared to the comfortable moody jazziness of the original this is dark minimal techno - which will get you going once in a while but won't haunt you forever.

The entirety of Jared Leo's character was unnecessary. With out him K would have still gone searching for the child, then searching for answers about himself and run into Deckard. The score is at times great and vast, and at times inappropriately so.like when K finds the wooden horse and there are two minutes of goddamn horns blaring. Heavily orange and blue, blatantly aggravated water with the struggles of life, and stillness when Leto's henchwoman is strangled and drown to death as a robot.

I thought this was a pretty perfect sequel. It captured the spirit of the original & continued it, while also being its own thing. Visually, it's pretty exquisite. Pretty much every frame was a work of art. It's quite a slow-moving and long film. Extremely impressive visual effects. Great music. Excellent cast. Although Harrison Ford is just playing Old Harrison Ford. I will admit to some slight boredom in the first third of the movie, but overall, I thought the film was pretty great.

Since I hated the original, I know this is partly just me. That said, this seems like a worst-of-all-worlds scenario. From the original they took the overbearing synths, the pseudo-deep ramblings and the motto "smoke and rain is a visual style too", Villeneuve felt inclined to once again showcase his inexplicable love for yellow color palettes, Gosling recites his performance from Only God Forgives, and Ford does his "hey I was in a movie thirty years ago, here I am again in the reboot" routine.

The special effects, atmosphere, set and sound design are groundbreaking.

While not as evocative or sumptuous as Scott's film, B.R 2049 is a respectably made blockbuster, but it's also a slick, watered down, less abstract and visionary version of the somewhat overrated original. While there are some strong scenes, it's a sequel that tries hard to please fans AND those who felt Blade Runner didn't have enough story or character development, resulting in an oddly compromised product with manipulative moments that tend towards convention. It's also too long.

It is visually immersive, and I do recommend to see it on largest screen possible, yet I believe 3D is not necessary. It really is immersive, and gives you very real feeling, somehow that the movie is real - though the story can be a bit difficult to believe at some points, the individual messages this film has, are clear, and some scenes will left you puzzled for a long time. Those almost three houres are not too long, as the movie rather slow pace is absolutely adequate.

Watch the 1982 Blade Runner before you watch this to really appreciate it. The way they took the story forward after 35 years is admirable. This is one of those movies where the sequel is better than the original (think Judgement Day and Mad Max Fury Road). Besides the science-fiction the movie has some solid suspense (which was totally unexpected) as well as high drama.

The threesome between a man, a prostitute and a computer program is blatantly stolen from HER, but even that undercuts any pathos with its standard sexless cut-to-aftermath-in-bed staging. Just one more in the list of films rendered superfluous in advance not just by HER, but by the low-budget UNIVERSAL SOLDIER: DAY OF RECKONING, which is (cinematically and conceptually) far wilder and livelier.

Probably the best disappointing movie ever. It's not nearly as visionary as the original and feels like a compromise between atmosphere and story and the way the story is told is off the rack. Furthermore the soundtrack and the product placement sucked. But I liked the politics. Wright talks about building walls to keep the order up but of course this goes hand in hand with the practice of Othering and the first film and real live taught us that the others might no be so different after all.

I've been stewing on this for a few weeks without ranking because I wanted to see how it sat with me after mulling on it (I don't hand out a "9" casually), and it's sitting well indeed, so many scenes and ideas and concepts and characters and beautiful visual images still seared into my brain. This one had more of an impact on me than the original, I admit, and I currently feel comfortable calling it my favorite film of 2017. Sylvia Hoeks steals the show. Well, and Roger Deakins, of course.

very slow paced at times but apart from that this was visually one of the best movies I have seen. The music and acting was also spot on and the story made sense to me and built forward from the first film. It was a bitt long and I have to admit I was looking forward for it to end. A must watch for any movie fanatic!

two viewings so good! so relieved! vast and bleak in story and picture, both presented tightly, without waste, despite the running time. gosling, wright, ford, and leto excel but de armas and hoeks steal the show. no cheese anywhere to be found, only sincerity and craftsmanship. score pushes at times weak, or at least uninteresting, sequences to their very best, but ultimately there is a taste for more. lacks a thorough identity. fight/water scene is unforgettable. i fall in love each time.

Long on ideas and setpieces, short on women characters who aren't coquettish sexbots. It's also just incredibly long in general. I feasted on the visuals, and the story did its best to keep up, but 3 hours is a LOT of Blade Running.

Like its forebear, 2049 will make you think. You'll think about memories, realism, family, relationships, and the future. The concepts are intelligent and suitably different from the original. You'll experience it at a perfectly slow pace through an alluring science-fiction world. It respects the lore and characters, but still leaves questions. Featuring wide and colourful shots with perfect framing, there is so much imagery, from the ice on a coat to the shapes of the landscape below.

3D: It was better than 2D, thus I've changed rating from 78 to 88. Still it is depressive movie reminding me how we are ruining our environment. 2D: I do really wonder, if it is worth of money to see it in 3D next time and if yes, if it will change my rating for this. But so far I have seen it two days ago in 2D and today already I almost do not remember any significant scene from movie which would be pleasure to see it again. And my bum hurt because of length of film.

I'm somewhat undecided on this one. On the one hand, it's one of the most visually stunning films I've ever seen. And some of the scenes, especially between Gosling and Wright, are perfectly executed. On the other hand, much of the middle part is downright boring. I might need to see it again a couple of times to refine my rating.

Slow, but deliberate. Long, but deliberate. Engaging only if your favourite parts of the original were the long shots of the city and soaking up the atmosphere. A very worthy sequel that could so easily have gone horrendously wrong if the director didn't obviously understand the point of the first. Some moments, with the visuals and music, had me in genuine awe. Its been a long time since I felt that. The story isn't perfect, but the originals wasn't either. It doesn't matter.

Seriously overrated, overrated's review is spot on: "Villeneuve gets the visual aesthetic and the not-Vangelis score right but I wasn't sold on the substance. The original is low-key noir, whereas 2049 escalates the plot into an apocalyptic/revolutionary crescendo that nominally raises the stakes but feels out of place in a Blade Runner movie. The dialogue & visual metaphors about machines, souls & miracles felt extremely heavy-handed, and Ford's reprisal of Deckard is more Indy than Deckard."

The most vividly realized science fiction landscape since at least Children of Men...I don't know, maybe ever. You can't see any of the seams; it's a marvel. Outside of some minor narrative nitpicks that I think guide the audience a little too much, it's a superb yarn that evokes a great deal in the themes of birth, death, and what it means to exist. Its greatest flaw is that EJO is barely in it.

Beautiful Sci-fi visuals for sure. As gritty as the original. love the way the story unfolded. Gosling is great in this, cant wait to see more of him. Jared leto hams it up and I cant wait to see less of him. Honestly though, as far as sequels go, you really can't ask for more. They did this about as well as you could and I was glad I caught it in the theater.

Like with Blade Runner I feel the true depth of this film is to be found in it's surface - in the melancholic atmosphere of the unique cinematic world where all it's inhabitants are trying to find hope - instead of it's actual (philosophic) ideas about what it means to be human. And this is meant as a compliment for both 2049 and for the original 1982 classic.

A near-flawless work that re-establishes the gritty universe of its predecessor but avoids all of its problems. It executes its story perfectly--though, in hindsight, they might as well have kept Ford off the promotional material; he didn't draw enough of an audience, and the surprise would've been great (also, he gives the best performance of his career). Comparisons to CHILDREN OF MEN are apt, though they do highlight the comparative (and justifiable) lack of emotional punches here.

For me this is the film that comes closest to being the perfect masterpiece. Phenomenal directing by one of the most talented filmmakers today, jaw-dropping cinematography by arguably one of the greatest masters of cinematography, the score is in my opinion much deeper and richer than the original's and lastly the acting is also almost nearly flawless. This is the film I'll re-watch if I'm ever unsatisfied with present cinema.

This was a very good film and I certainly enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. My problem with this is that it's long, and it feels long, and this is partly because it has too many plot point (some of which doesn't actually get resolved). The sum of its parts is better than the end product. The film looks terrific and I liked all of the performances. It just felt a little overindulgent.

Blade Runner 2049 is as about as good as a movie made in the modern Hollywood system can be. It's about as good as a sequel to a genre-defining film made 30 years after the original was screened. If you can get past its shortcomings, there is much to be enjoyed. The visuals are amazing, the acting is strong, except Jared Letto, and the plot is original but still connected to the themes of identity and humanity.

Thoroughly enjoyable throughout, with stunning visuals, sound, music, and characters you care about.

Mostly amazed by how well it preserves the pacing and feel of the 1982 movie - if you liked the original, or if you love slow, gorgeous sci-fi, you will like this one.

I really wanted to love this movie and was more than willing to meet it half way. But the sleek production design and visuals cannot make up for what is ultimately a thin mystery tale with some philosophizing tidbits that is stretched wayyyy too thin. The film thereby lacks rhythm, and momentum to the narrative (which is probably the worst sin of all). There is no eagerness, no drive, no precision, just excess. (saw it 2x in theaters)

Blade Runner 2049 is a film that is very nearly perfect. It is wondrous to look at. Ryan Gosling carries it with all his ability. Harrison Ford is used to appropriate effect. It is the truest and most honest sequel we could have ever wished for. The themes set up in the first are dutifully explored even further here. Denis Villeneuve crafted an almost perfect film. The only flaw. It's absolutely NECESSARY run time makes it a difficult sell to friends and family.

After riding the masterclass films, Arrival, Sicaro and Prisoners to success, Denis Villenuvile cements himself as one of the greatest film makers working today with the long, though incredibly gripping Blade Runner 2049, which, throughout its 164 minute runtime, has you questioning at every turn what it means to be alive.

A sequel that actually makes an almost perfect original feel even better, not by comparison but by what this adds to the entire story. Points for being focused, determined on not being an action movie and visually mindblowing. Withdrawals for having an utterly boring view of women and their roles (that it shares with the original, but we should expect more than that now). Weird that Villeneuve would be the one to make that mistake, coming off the strong female leads of Arrival and Sicario.

Looking at these scores, I think the Blade Runner franchise is just one that never clicked with me as well as it should (someone who loves Philip K Dick's novel). That being said, 2049 definitely delivers beautiful visuals, interesting plot points, and stellar performances by an all-star cast. It runs a bit long, which makes some of the slower aspects harder to sit through, but I can't knock Villeneuve at all. What a star.

This might actually be a better movie than its predecessor? Sure, it lacks the sheer moodiness and unrivaled atmosphere of the original, but it has a much better script, and poses better & deeper & more relevant questions about the ethics of technology and meaning of being human. I regret not watching this while it was in cinemas, firstly because it's a $150m art-house film and Hollywood never funds projects like that, and secondly because it is drop-dead GORGEOUS.

A poor knock-off version of the original. There's some good stuff in here (cinematography, sets, direction), but where the 1982 movie was subtle, this one is just plain and obvious. In the original, it's not even clear who is the villain and who is the good guy. In this 2017 action sequel the hero triumphs by punching the villain a lot and also being very good at strangling.

For the 20-fingered foreplay alone this is a 5 star movie. Cinematography was excellent, but ponderous. Writing was delicate and human. Ideas were sparse but significant, more philposophic than filmic, but always rooted in a heritage. Denis might be one to watch.

Within BLADE RUNNER 2049 is an interesting original sci-fi film trapped inside a lega-sequel shell. Its narrative assumes quite a bit of pretense, and takes a long time to unwind, but it's a bit of a blessing in disguise, as it spaces out the clumsily derivative parts. It also helps that the film is a sensory delight: Denis Villeneuve once again proves that he is a master stylist, bringing a painterly eye to a project that greatly benefits from any little spark of originality.

Although for the most part this is impeccably directed it feels overlong, and tends to lose its way amid a myriad of abstractions and wandering impressionism. Leto's scene and the final fight seem out of place, but the film taken as a whole is something you could easily be entranced with, given the right state of mind and is the kind of film that is apt to grow on you over time.

So rare to see a sequel these days which lives up to the original. Well, this one does. Cinematography is stunning, direction is first class. Biggest problem is Gosling. He's a good actor, but just doesn't fit this part.

*SPOILERS* I didn't like the original. I hated this. There's a big reveal in the middle that Gosling is the chosen one...but I thought that had already been established a half hour prior? Then he meets Morpheus who tells him he's not the chosen one. Then he's trans and the chosen one again. Then not the chosen one after all. Who gives a fuck? I spent most of the running time dreading that it would end with a sequel tease. If there's another sequel in 30 years, I hope I'm "retired" by then.

Excellent in every way. Pays to re-watch the original before jumping into this one.

Nowhere near its predecessor visually or aurally, and the characters also aren't as gripping. Good film in its own right, though, with its own interesting philosophical musings. Did it need former WWE champion Dave Batista's line to be flashed back to on two separate occasions? S'not an anime; we got the implication the first time. Really didn't love the direction much. Upping rating from 81 because it's stuck with me. Wish the emotional moments had resonated with me.

Tedious, with none of the dynamism which made the original replicants microcosms of the humanity they supposedly lack. Still, 2049 gives the Blade Runner feeling if you can keep your boredom at bay.

Overlong and an absolutely poor imitation that doesn't understand a lick of what made the original great.

Blade Runner 2049 is a good follow-up to the original film, with excellent world-building, great acting, and a unique premise that compliments the original without taking too much from it. That being said, while visually stunning, the aesthetics are inconsistent throughout the movie and Hans Zimmer's soundtrack is uninspired and thoughtless; instead of a twinkling backdrop of synthy noir, we're left with invasive explosions of synths and drums.

Music & visuals were top notch. I got huge 'this is what ghost in the shell could have been' vibes throughout. The last 15 minutes is reprehensible but well lit, the same can be said about most scenes involving Leto. Stumbles over itself with existential mutterings about what life means to a processor based organism, occasionally made up for in brief tonal excellence, but those moments are all too fleeting, like tears in the rain.

How ironically fitting that a horror movie in its 5th week and centered on a clown (It), takes in more than an exquisitely produced sequel to a cult classic. Perhaps its a sign that dystopia as a genre, with music and denouement to match, has finally run its course, along with what some are calling noir as well--but how could it be noir without narration. The menage a (1+1)/1, was very exotic, but didn't draw much notice. Perhaps they should have been clowns.

One of the best movies of recent years. Brilliant continuation and spectacular science fiction movie. Amazing pictures, great acting and special effects. Everything is delightful and beautiful. The directorial skills on high level. I waited for this movie many years.

Visual and sonic masterpiece, but I felt the story was too loose and shallow. I like how it tied to the original, and the various aspects of playing with the 'what is real' theme, but it just didn't go deep enough for me.

Visually, it's great. The story, however, is bland and lacked depth. The movie drags what could have been done quite rapidly on for way too long. The movie failed to grab me and pull me in.

disappointing... if for some reason you actually expect it (as a nostalgia induced unplanned sequel) to be fully worthy of one of the best movies ever. if youre more realistic then that, it's a nice slick thriller with ur fav blonde stoic pretty boy

This movie deserves Academy for best picture. Completely stays true to the original. Amazing cinematography, story and acting. I was really worried it would be another bad movie sequel that seems to plague Hollywood. this movie totally delivered in every way.

The technical aspects are solid-the haze of the city matched only by the mystery that confronts K about his particular case and, more generally, about the nature of humanity. Further, the oppressiveness of the music creates appropriate heaviness. Gosling acquits himself well here, even as most of the other actors have much less to do. The brief scene between Gosling and Carla Juri is the emotional center of the film, though there are a number of other sequences that mark the emotional landscape.

I found this one to be more pleasurable than the first one, maybe due to age. I don't think anyone can argue against its style and direction. A piece of art for sure, which at times lacks story, and is way to long in sake of atmosphere. Might have been better with a better tempo.

Remarkable aesthetics and a good atmosphere make the film a pleasure to look at. The movie never gets boring despite its almost 3 hours running time and dives into so many themes that you cannot really grasp them all in one viewing. It drove me almost to tears during the simplest things. Life is great. Find your place in it!

I enjoyed this slightly more than the original. Of course I'm thirty years older. Gorgeous visuals reminiscent of Fritz Lang and cinema of yore, BR transports you into its alternative timeline dystopia. This is loooooong. After much thought, there were precisely two scenes I could have done without.

Villeneuve's best so far, he enjoys setting you up for a mixed ending, it's never as satisfying as the rest of the film and leaves you quite cold but the rest of the film is satisfying enough. Also, Jared Leto's acting has become painful to sit through, you aren't cool you try-hard.

orijinali ruhen takip edebildiği gibi bir noktaya kadar ilgi çekici bir hikaye de anlatıyor, fakat bağlama konusunda biraz beceriksiz kalıyor. yeni dünyayı ve hikayeyi kurma konusundaki başarıyı devam ettirebilse veya orijinaldeki gibi sonuca gerek olmadığı izlenimini verebilse hayaller gerçekleşmiş olurdu. ama her durumda blade runner ismini hak ettiği yerin altına düşürmeden, görsel ve işitsel olarak harika bir iş çıkartmayı başarıyor. film-noir'a neo-noir devam.

A gigantic movie! Complete visual exercise. Always intense. Also a little one-paced flow creating some need for more action suited for such a perfectly crafted sci-fi world. Absolutely loved the Elvis scene! I'm glad we got some conclusion to the story with that final scene. With the vagueness of directors these days they could have easily left it out just for the sake of being a dick.

A modern classic. Performances across this beautiful sci-fi land are all amazing. Jared Leto, while playing an overly evil character, brings the character to light. The movie bathes the viewer in shots and set design that I have never seen in film before. The lighting alone makes the sets feel like characters in the film. A must watch

It's 30 years in the future. All buildings in San Diego and Las Vegas have been destroyed and they are now wastelands. Meanwhile, all buildings in Los Angeles have been replaced by really old looking and dirty buildings. The architecture world sure has changed. There's even an orphanage than couldn't have been built more than 10 years from now that looks like hell. This movie was too long, has unexplainable plot points, and sucks.

Boring in terms of pace, pretentious and hollow in terms of aesthetics, aimless and contrived in terms of plot, feminist in terms of agenda. And to top it all off there's some uncanny valley exploration at the end. Truly, a fine specimen of today's cinema.

Ambiance is excellent, the dialogue is conveyed to explicitly state what is currently happening and what the audience should be thinking. Probably to avoid the esotericism of the original where the director felt he had to make a narrated version: ". . . audience members indicated difficulty understanding the [original] film"

speaking of babies (which are very important about--I mean to--women), someone needed to learn to kill their darlings and cut this script down. I suggest one starts trimming the runtime by cutting all of Leto's scenes, which I don't even get more cool worldbuilding from
