Review of Blade Runner 2049 (2017) by Matt H — 14 Oct 2017

Loved it. A risky venture but maintains difficult tone and pace of original with plenty of new twists and updated effects. Catch the three short prequels that bridge the time between 2019 and 2049. They're not critical but will give you insights into references and entire characters in the movie.

Film maintains beat down noir hero nearly perfectly. Stariing to recognize this Gosling fellow. He never sings nor dances. New effects and tech allow for a very interesting love interest for hero. highly recommended.

I think ratings will stay in high eighties. The first Blade Runner trained us how to like a sf films that's not all laser blasts and spaceships. Like tears in snow.
