Jonathan Romney Film Comment Magazine 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. Mar 8, 2018 Full Review Melissa Anderson 4Columns 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. Oct 30, 2017 Full Review Tim Hayes Sight & Sound 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. Oct 17, 2017 Full Review Brittany Patrice Witherspoon Pop Culture Reviews 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. Rated: 5/5 Jul 11, 2024 Full Review Justin Micallef Vague Visages 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. Feb 6, 2024 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand 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.

B T Good follow up to Blade Runner final cut. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/25/23 Full Review Jay S Not only does BR: 2049 do its absolute best to convey a new story but exceeds in widening the scope of the original as well. Gosling is superb in this film. The score, cinematography and script are so rich and have so much depth that you feel like you can just step into this world and be one of its citizens. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/05/24 Full Review Oscar J Pas aussi authentique et underground que le premier 2049 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/01/24 Full Review Ruairi M It’s not as good as the original, but still a masterpiece. Visuals keep it amazing, and a storyline to die for. 87/100 Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/30/24 Full Review Nick R It's a different feel from the original in a few ways, but that is not bad at all. 'Blade Runner 2049' is still a sci-fi masterpiece with incredible cinematography that hits on the deeper themes established in the first movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/26/24 Full Review Korra N A masterpiece of science fiction, Blade Runner 2049 is a perfect sequel and a breathtaking cinematic experience.
