Tom Mar 14 masterpiece of filmmaking See more B T 09/25/2023 Good follow up to Blade Runner final cut. See more Tanu A @TanuAnasune 10h Visually stunning and narratively satisfying, Denis Villeneuve's sequel deepens and expands the original's story while standing on its own as an atmospheric sci-fi achievement. Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford deliver strong performances alongside Roger Deakins' Oscar-winning cinematography. See more Peter S @Petethebeat 3d This film like many of its recent brethren depends on a form of reverse cornucopia. It assumes a bleak dystopian future powered by abundant energy and abundant evil. Only half right. See more Kioto W @KiotoWave 3d A good sequel to the first film from 1982. It’s a shame the ending is left open. Given that ending, I understand there was supposed to be a sequel in the form of a third film, but we’ll only be getting the miniseries *Blade Runner 2099*. See more Vixo S @vixo_six Aug 5 Blade Runner 2049 moved me more than the original because its questions about humanity become questions about identity, loneliness and love. Roger Deakins’s images make isolation feel physical, while Ryan Gosling’s restraint turns silence into emotional weight. The relationship with Joi stayed with me most, largely because Ana de Armas gives genuine warmth and sensitivity to someone whose emotions may only be programming. Even then, does that make the comfort, attachment and grief she creates unreal? The film suggests that being human has less to do with origin than with the freedom to choose, show empathy and act without expecting recognition. Harrison Ford returns without taking ownership of the story, and the score gives its vast images a melancholy pulse. My main frustration is that the central threat never receives a complete resolution, leaving the larger conflict suspended. Still, it is a beautiful sequel whose artificial protagonist feels profoundly human. See more Read all reviews
