Review of Blade Runner 2049 (2017) by Passingby777 — 11 Oct 2017

First of all what I loved the most is the atmosphere and the story telling. I had watched the first one before and was impressed by how little dialogue was needed to move the plot along and to convey the message. Most recent movies left me with a sower aftertaste and with the impression that it was numbed down by having a huge amount of dialogue and explanations. The original used the atmosphere, the sounds and the characters to tell it's story and the difference from the modern approach was really obvious. The feeling I had while watching the original I found again while seeing 2049.

It is a sequel but without making you feel that not watching the original was a big mistake. This was the one movie in a very long time that did not disappoint me. I have loved it. It is something else and I could go on and on about the plot twist that was introduces incredibly well but at the same time was not in your face and then what happened afterwards when you felt that you passed the traditional twist... Anyway, if you love SciFi movies and have felt violated by the abortions that came out in the last years (at most 3 were good) or the traditional Hollywood recipes I cannot recommend this one enough.
