CineVue - John Bleasdale

Oct 9, 2017

Blade Runner 2049 is not a perfect film. The pace occasionally puts the plod in the procedural and some story elements are introduced only to drift away to the land of possible sequels. But Villeneuve has created a genuinely thoughtful piece of sci-fi which escapes the gravitational pull of its inspiration to become something - to paraphrase Dr. Eldon Tyrrell - more Blade Runner than Blade Runner.

An exquisitely crafted sequel that stands shoulder to shoulder with one of the greatest films ever made. Everyone involved is operating at the height of their powers. Read full review

It organically expands and grows what came before. It’s a deep, rich, smart film that’s visually awesome and full of great sci-fi concepts, and one that was well worth the 35-year wait. Read full review

Rolling Stone - Peter Travers

For Blade Runner junkies like myself, who've mainlined five different versions of Ridley Scott's now iconic sci-fi film noir – from the release print to the Director's Cut and the Final Cut (the last two minus that voiceover Scott and Ford hated) – every minute of this mesmerizing mindbender is a visual feast to gorge on.

Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan

As shaped by Villeneuve and his masterful creative team, especially production designer Dennis Gassner and cinematographer Roger Deakins, this film puts you firmly, brilliantly, unassailably in another world of its own devising, and that is no small thing. Read full review

San Francisco Chronicle - Mick LaSalle

Oct 4, 2017

Blade Runner 2049 is long and slow. It’s never boring, but it’s a little too mired in one sustained note of sadness to break out as a great experience or to stand out as a great movie. Still, there are some remarkable scenes. Read full review

Time - Stephanie Zacharek

Sep 30, 2017

Even if Blade Runner 2049 never forgets where it came from, it somehow keeps losing its way. The picture’s moodiness is excessively manicured; this thing is gritty only in a premeditated way. Mostly, it feels like a capacious handbag, designed with perhaps too many extra compartments to hold every cool visual idea Villeneuve can dream up. Read full review

Blade Runner 2049 is a spectacle in story, sound, and visuals. A flawless piece of film making that should receive numerous awards, especially for Roger Deakins the time is now give this man his Oscar already. This is a true masterpiece!! A+

We saw the original in '82, fell in love with everything about it. It shaped our family's aesthetic in many ways, and predicted so many changes in society's relation with technology.

It shaped our family's aesthetic in many ways, and predicted so many changes in society's relation with technology. The sequel is a gift, a treat, a miracle. 9 instead of 10 because too many long silent face close ups, which is an unnecessary break with the style of original. But such a beautiful film, will go see it again next week.… Expand

Blade Runner 2049 is a great neo-noir science fiction epic.

Story is set some 30 years after the first movie, with Deckard (Harrison Ford) having disappeared. Replicant "K" (Ryan Gosling) is working as a Blade Runner for the LAPD and hunts down older Replicant models to "retire" them because they are viewed as a threat to humanity. "K" later discovers a truth that might shake the world's foundations, and investigates out of duty and curiosity.

The plot is full of surprises and twists. Ford's appearance in the final 3rd of the film is great, but Gosling is the protagonist, his character (even if artificial) is well expanded upon. Blade Runner isn't a film about a hero saving the world, but it tells a human story.

The film is also a masterful audiovisual experience no one should miss out on.

However not everything is perfect. The ambient soundtrack is mostly majestic but there were times when it was a cacophony and made me mad. The offworld colonies are mentioned in both Blade Runner films but we didn't see anything of them again. Finally there are some minor plot holes and nonsense moments (like in every film), but also a big one with the Revolution.

In the end, Blade Runner 2049 is a great sequel. The first Blade Runner, though unique and intriguing, was somewhat underwhelming and it only had the great "tears in the rain" monologue in the very end that made it a cult hit. Blade Runner 2049 has no such monumental moment, but it's an overall better (if not perfect) film than the first one.

There are talks about a sequel, I'd gladly see more Blade Runner films.… Expand
