This is the greatest sci-fi masterpiece since Star Wars or the Final Cut of the original Blade Runner. The film is incredible and stands on its own. It has a soul and an amazing theme/meaning behind.

An sequel I was afraid might be an unworthy follow-up to the original visionary masterpiece turns out to be both beautifully consistent with its predecessor and a film that stands on its own.

Loved it. It's a lot of plot... so if you aren't a fan of the first, or do not enjoy a sci-fi drama, this may not be for you. I thought it was as amazing and the soundtrack was amazing!

A worthy sequel that not only respects and honors what came before, but also improves and adds upon it.

This is such an original art piece along with the first blade runner movie. Ryan Gosling also did such an amazing job portraying his character.

I love all of R.S., but this tops even the original Blade Runner. It was great to see Harrison Ford back in what I consider to be his element. This film brought the visual effects of today and blended it masterfully with an original dystopian plot.

This film was truly masterful in presentation. Eyegasmic cinematography that had me forgetting the dialogue at times and the sound design was the icing on top. For a film based on artificial characters, this had a very real and grounded essence to its character interactions and development. Iโ€™m going to give a hot-take and I donโ€™t mean to downplay the original Blade Runner, but this is overall a better film, it was simply just more. Go see it. ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ• -A

I like the fact that the movie had a real futuristic theme to it. I was in Suspense from the time it started until it ended it was worth my $20. Also the fact that the quality of the movie and the seat would react to certain scenes was really a cool experience.

Blade Runner was a very slow burn kind of movie but it was shot well and the story was excellent. It followed the original well. You should look up the short films to understand what happened after the 1st movie and before this one. enjoy

Such an amazing film that would take more than a few hashtags to explain the feeling of the movie and just how beautiful the film is. Ryan is amazing as K. Ana playing Joi was beautiful and Mackenzie is stunning as always.

I can sincerely say that Iโ€™m not a HUGE fan of the first Blade Runner, as a slow burn type movie in that sort of atmospheric setting doesnโ€™t entirely do it for me. But I was intrigued to see what the sequel offered. When I think of the words โ€œBlade Runnerโ€, or โ€œHunting down replicantsโ€, I donโ€™t see an investigative, slow paced movie. It just doesnโ€™t translate in my mind. The scope, and magnitude -FOR ME- doesnโ€™t match the plot. Donโ€™t get me wrong, I love a great script, twist & turns, thoughtful processes, and mystery. But thereโ€™s something between the script and the world that just doesnโ€™t match up. This is a continuation of the Decker storyline. And itโ€™s seem like a small plot with a huge backdrop. Itโ€™s not a bad movie! I know itโ€™s sounds like Iโ€™m being overly negative. It is a gorgeous movie with very good acting, breathtaking visuals, and good writing. I can really appreciate the almost perfect production quality, but itโ€™s maybe a movie I would only have the urge to see 1 time.

Is it a perfect movie? Not quite. The middle section drags a bit through no fault of the excellent performances, but ultimately itโ€™s all of a piece, and the mid-mark pacing turns out to be a relatively minor quibble.

So swollen with purpose, so titanically self-conscious in its mythmaking, that at times its nearly paralyzes itself with solemnity.

Blade Runner 2049 is long and slow. Itโ€™s never boring, but itโ€™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.
