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

A truly electrifying, visual masterpiece of a sequel! Like the original, it's a slow-burn, neo-noir detective mystery but perhaps with a more richly compelling plot elevated by its intense acting-performances & an absolutely flawless recreation of the colossal, searingly atmospheric sci-fi setting.

The deliberate pacing can be a challenge for the more casual viewer but it offers so much in every single frame (Roger Deakin's insanely amazing cinematography to top it off!). It's just as bold as the first film if not more disturbing, which is quite commendable for any sequel.
