  • This might just be my all-time favorite movie sequel mainly because it's one of the few sequels that are better than the original in nearly every way. While the first Blade Runner is iconic, 2049 feels like an extraordinary refinement and enhancement of the original concept, with outstanding perfomances, visuals, and inclusion of legacy narratives/characters while still creating something new, fresh, and entirely captivating.


    2049 proved that Villeneuve could handle the modern adaptation of Dune and for that reason alone should be celebrated. There's still so much to appreciate outside of that retrospective fact alone. It is by far and away the most successful piece of sci-fi writing I have ever encountered in a film. The way that the contrasting philosophies of the characters become the main source of conflict is profound. 2049, Arrival, and the Dune movies prove how well Villeneuve takes high-concept sci-fi to the next level by making them thematically accessible on a human level.

  • Blade Runner is easily in my top 3 movies ever. Was excited it was finally getting expanded upon. That ended the day I bought 2049. It literally took me 3 years to finally finish watching it. Putting this into my 2 least favorite movies right there with Reigh in Fire the only movie walked out of the theater was so bad. This should never have been put to screen.

  • Basically just as good as the original movie which is saying a lot because that is one of my favorite movies of all time. Ryan Gosling just works in the Blade Runner universe and the atmosphere and visuals were some of the best throughout. Loved the central story in this one and how it builds upon the original in surprising ways.

Blade Runner 2049 Review
8/10

Blade Runner 2049 not only succeeds at feeling like a necessary franchise revival, it also makes for a captivating standalone work of science-fiction.
