Review of Blade Runner 2049 (2017) by Bill B — 18 Oct 2017
Visually, "Blade Runner 2049" is an exceptionally impressive piece of filmmaking. I think for the visuals alone you should seek out seeing this movie in some sort of enhanced format. I thought Ryan Gosling does a great job in the leading role in this movie and all of the other performances are also good.
Like its predecessor, the film raises many moral questions in a sci-fi setting and I found it fascinating. Also, like the first movie, this movie suffers from extended periods of very slow moments. Some of these slow moments are still very interesting but I did feel some of them dragged.
Regardless, the film leads up to an intense and engaging final act. I personally found the original "Blade Runner" to be impressive for its time but overall an okay movie. If you're a bigger fan of the first than me, you'll probably love this sequel.
As for me, I think it is a thought-provoking, well-made, and visually stunning movie that is well worth seeing.
