Officer K (Ryan Gosling), a new Blade Runner for the Los Angeles Police Department, unearths a long-buried secret that has the potential to plunge what's left of society into chaos. His discovery leads him on a quest to find Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), a former Blade Runner who's been missing for 30 years.

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.

Overrated, but watchable. The problem is that it doesn't say anything new.

Cinema masterpiece. Top 10 films ever. A rare sequel that’s far better than the original and perfect in story follow through. The story, direction, cinematography, characters and actors’ performances, music, direction, all sublime. As a sequel delivers 100%, which as we know today is a rare beast indeed. The story extremely moving and relevant as artificial beings, beautifully imagined and portrayed, struggle with their role in humanity and worldly, the hazards manifest when programming proves amoral and sociopathic, protagonist’s hopes to prove that they are a unicorn (actually human), and all a haunting echo of mankind‘s own existence in the mortal world versus the faith of a better world in eternal life. The film hits on every level.

It's an absolute travesty that this masterpiece bombed at the boxoffice. With fantastic imagery, a brilliant performance from Gosling, and compelling, original story that honors the original without repeating it, this is one of those rare, rare sequals that surpass the classic source material.
