Critics Consensus

Visually stunning and narratively satisfying, Blade Runner 2049 deepens and expands its predecessor's story while standing as an impressive filmmaking achievement in its own right.

If every new film made today is to a greater or lesser degree an echo box of past possibilities, what's notable is how much Villeneuve gives those echoes room to breathe and to be new.

In the end, for all its pleasures, it's difficult to view Blade Runner 2049 as anything but an elaborate echo of the original, neither true sequel nor reboot, unclear of its own identity.

The film dares to be ambiguous, but ambiguity is a bad fit with the current critical mood that art must be prescriptive rather than reflective.

3.5/4

Is Blade Runner 2049 a masterpiece like its predecessor? Definitely not. It's not even a match for 2016's superb Arrival, the previous film from director Denis Villeneuve. Yet on its own terms, it's a dazzling achievement.

5/5

2049 is able to exist both as a masterful sequel and/or stand-alone film in the universe, which showcases Villeneuve’s massive skill as a storyteller and further validates him as one of the best visionaries of our generation.

If the original film’s warmth beneath the cold metropolitan’s structure came from Deckard’s love for Rachel, 2049 extends this ethos to a love and understanding of the self in the greater context of others.

I didn't find it quite as gripping narratively compared to the reviews. But no one can deny it's a visceral achievement. Btw, Dune really copied some aspects of this film--the skinhead looking guys, the overall atmosphere, and the maiden stabbing scene. I've gotta think the Dune director took inspiration from this.

One of the most thought provoking films Ive ever watched while simultaneously being visually stunning and narratively enthralling. Ryan Gosling is superb along with Ana de Armas. The use of color to represent Joe’s journey is also interesting and unique.
