Review of Blade Runner 2049 (2017) by Brandon R — 27 Oct 2017

Beautiful. Contrast of dark and bright colors makes this film truly something breathtaking to view. If I were an avid fan of the original film I might be more inclined to give this a lower score, but as it stands I find myself with slight knowledge of the Bladerunner universe(which I believe I benefit from) and I quite enjoyed it.

I think the writing suffers a bit but the heartfelt moments and humor score big. I give the acting a a good score. Writing overall is good, but some elements seem to fall by the wayside. Good chemistry between Gosling and all his co-stars, and a great use of a seasoned Harrison Ford.

Well worth the theater trip and will possibly catch it again on streaming or TV but have no strong urge to seek out a re watch.
