Review of Blade Runner 2049 (2017) by Rerenaissance — 07 Oct 2017
"Break the world"... that is exactly what this film has done. A dark, deep, and mesmerizing ode to the 1982 original that redefined the genre, Blade Runner 2049 is a science fiction phenomenon.
Like his predecessor, the great Ridley Scott, Denis Villenueve has managed to preserve the artificial heart of the first Blade Runner, crafting a personal story in an impersonal world. But this time, the dark, foggy streets of LA and the technotopia which surrounds it isn't just seen, it is lived.
This is a film which demands attention and patience, and rewards you with a compelling, thought provoking, and heart-wrenching story, interesting characters, and some old fashioned sci-fi fun. For die hard Blade Runner fans, this is the sequel of our electric dreams, checking off all of the boxes, hitting ever mark seamlessly; resuscitating the mind-bending world of cyber-punk that was left for dead with the Matrix in 1999.
