Blade Runner 2049

8.088%88%7.6
Thirty years after the events of Blade Runner (1982), a new Blade Runner, L.A.P.D. Officer "K" (Ryan Gosling), unearths a long-buried secret that has the potential to plunge what's left of society into chaos. K's discovery leads him on a quest to find Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), a former L.A.P.D. Blade Runner, who has been missing for thirty years.
I almost have no words for this review. I've watched the original Blade Runner many times in all it's incarnations and was waiting impatiently for this one to be released. Initially I was confounded by how slowly it moved and how confusing things were but then I remembered feeling the same way back in the '80s when the original came out. After repeated viewings, I finally realized that this film is a masterpiece of sci-fi. The camera melts into invisible status and all viewers see and feel is the immensity of it. Best viewed on the largest screens possible with the audio cranked up to enough volume to rattle the walls when ships take off. Done right, you will lose yourself for two plus hours. Recommended.
