Review of Blade Runner 2049 (2017) by Tor M — 10 Oct 2018

35 years after Ridley Scott's "Bladerunner" we are back in the sunken city of LA. It's almost as we left it. Human clones are still hunted down by bladerunners .They seem smarter and more humanlike than before. Could it even be possible for them to have babies?

It looks mindblowing. Hands down. The images are always chilling and the structures and atmospheres are amazing. Great effects comes as no shocker and the sound mix is perfect. The acting is cool, with fresh and old faces. Gosling is still something that anoy me a tiny bit. He kind of nails it, but he has gotten way to much screentime on big films lately. I'm tired of his face and he is not really an amazing actor to be honest.

I saw the original just three or four years ago. I liked it, but I found it hard to get into and digest - so I never left it as a total fan. Not as much as I wanted to at least. I planned to give it another go before watching this late follower, but I didn't.

This film was easier for me, it looks helped a lot, and it was never hard to hang on too as the plot and main story motor is constant and well paced. The 2.30 hours actually flew by. My rating goes mostly for the visuals, but the story is also very solid. Villeneuve is one amazing director that rearly disappoints me. Now he has made a huge follow up for one of the world's best known sci-fi clasics, and it deservingly took the world by storm. He is like the artist Michael Bay wants to be, but is miles ahead of.

8.5 out of 10 orange distances.
