Jonathan Romney Film Comment Magazine 03/08/2018
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. Go to Full Review
Melissa Anderson 4Columns 10/30/2017
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. Go to Full Review
Tim Hayes Sight & Sound 10/17/2017
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. Go to Full Review
Brittany Patrice Witherspoon Pop Culture Reviews 07/11/2024
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. Go to Full Review
Justin Micallef Vague Visages 02/06/2024
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. Go to Full Review
Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand 01/07/2023
Just as in the original, this film is as much about the texture of the world on screen as it is the story of the Replicants 30 years after Deckard first strolled the mean streets of L.A. Go to Full Review

B T 09/25/2023 Good follow up to Blade Runner final cut. See more Leonardo G @El_cinefilo_poblano 5d Dejando a un lado el apartado visual (el cuál es un deleite para la vista) blade runner 2049 construye una historia híbrida entre ciencia ficción y un thriller policíaco, pero sin fallar en ninguno de los 2, y en ese sentido es mejor que la película original, puesto que cumple su parte al ser una secuela digna, al mismo tiempo que la película es ambiciosa por si misma, presentando sus propios conceptos y desarrollandolos durante la trama pero integrandolos con los que la película original planteaba. Igualmente, los personajes están muy bien escritos y los actores están soberbios. 🔥 See more Jose L. @snowchild Dec 8 Will forever be my most favorite movie ever. I really wish there were more movies out there like this one. I love the cinematography in the landscapes, and just overall the futuristic dystopian settings. It really is a unique film and experience and Ryan Gosling is phenomenal in his role and Ana De Armas is undeniably excellent in her role. See more Corcaigh T @wonttakemyentry Dec 6 The original is the best! This is a boring, and slow snooze fest! I didn't care about any of the characters. A complete waste of almost 3 hours. See more Zizo A Nov 30 Such a beautifully shot and paced film, with one of the best performances by a introvert type character from Gosling, with powerful, satisfying action sequences when needed, a solid back story, and great score bringing the experience great all-together. See more Robert M. @daddyman Nov 29 I wasn’t disappointed. After enjoying the original BLADE RUNNER, I was ready to be dissatisfied. Not the case. See more Read all reviews
