- NjParmarJuly 15, 2025Brilliant story and visually very entertaining
- MikeOctober 11, 2024Blade Runner 2049 is a slow paced and beautiful work of art, that immerses you into the world of Blade Runner "Is it the same now, as then? The moment you met her. All these years, drunk on the memory of its perfection. How shiny her lips. How instant your connection. Did it never occur to you that is why you were summoned in the first place? Designed to do nothing short of fall for her then and there? All to make that single perfect specimen. That is, if you were designed. Love, or mathematical precision? Yes? No?" After watching Blade Runner 2049 a couple of times I initially did not like it, but something kept pulling be back. I started to appreciate it more and more, and it eventually became one of my all-time favorite films. We don’t see it very often that the sequel is as good, or even better, than the orginal. I really liked the story and the plot, which felt solidly structured throughout. It also had a perfect ending, which was a beautiful manifestation of the philosophy of Blade Runner 2049. ".....is the most human thing we can do". The plot is structured so that the viewer has the same perspective as the protagonist, Officer K. As Officer K, played by Ryan Gosling, discovers more and more about the truth, the viewer does too. Officer K does not show a lot of emotion throughout the film, but when he does the impact is much bigger. Especially since Ryan Gosling is capable of showing a lot of emotions with minimal facial expressions. This journey of discovery, combined with the slow pacing that provides the viewer with time to absorb and process the emotions, results in an impactful and captivating story that has you immersed throughout. During his journey Officer K is accompanied by Joi, his artificial love interest, played by Ana De Armas. Ana created a strong emotional connection between Officer K and Joi, which we as the viewer feel too. Officer K also meets the antagonist Luv, played by Sylvia Hoeks. Sylvia showed the emotional confusion within her character in a strong but balanced way, which made the viewer realize how unstable Luv actually is and how well she could hide it. Ofcourse you also have Rick Deckard, played by Harrison Ford, which was a great connection to the original Blade Runner but felt a bit unnecessary for me. The character I was most interested in was Niander Wallace, played by Jared Leto. Jared made his character feel disconnected to every other character, which is a good thing. Niander Wallace was a mysterious, philosophical and powerful entity... stuck in his own ideology and driven by the motivation to reproduce replicants. As if he is a God.

- Dr. AegerMarch 29, 2025Within cells interlinked. Within cells interlinked. Within cells interlinked.
- Dave BarnesMarch 11, 2025Quite drawn out, but very well executed. A good sequel with a satisfying ending.
- Kraine OpasenJune 20, 2025“A breathtaking elegy for lost souls in a dying world.” Denis Villeneuve’s Blade Runner 2049 is a miracle of a sequel — haunting, poetic, and visually overwhelming. It honors the original’s legacy while carving out its own hypnotic rhythm: slow, deliberate, and deeply human. Ryan Gosling delivers a masterfully restrained performance as K — lonely, broken, and searching for meaning in a world that no longer cares. And when Harrison Ford returns as Deckard, it’s not fan service — it’s heartbreak. His presence is aged, weathered, powerful. Every frame is a painting. Roger Deakins’ cinematography bathes the future in fog, neon, and silence. Hans Zimmer’s score throbs with melancholy and menace. This is not just a film — it’s a meditative experience on memory, identity, and love in the age of decay. I adored the original. I embraced this one just as much. A rare sequel that dares to be art.

- Mister ArnMay 14, 2025“Blade Runner 2049” unfolds at a deliberate pace, but its stunning visuals make it compelling. As a sequel, it masterfully honors the original while pushing the story into new territory.
- TheMovieHoardMarch 17, 2025A LEGIT sequel to the 1982 original, and that's an act to follow for sure, a cult classic. I appreciate the nods to the originals aesthetic and the subtle updates to the technology that drives home the simple truth that the more things change they stay the same. Also the expanded world does justice to the world presented in the original. Although this movie lacks the 'unicorn' moment that makes you question everything you just watched nor the villain isn't as menacing as the original. The ending is quite satisfying and you don't feel cheated or your intelligence insulted.
- mariekyleMay 12, 2025Great visuals and acting from the entire cast. Great continuation to the Ridley Scott portfolio.
- L CApril 4, 2025Pretty to look at. Nothing to think about. Barely a story worth following to be frank.
- LordDeTracyFebruary 18, 2025One of the best sci-fi movies of all time.
