Review of Blade Runner 2049 (2017) by Judahjsn — 05 Oct 2017

If anything is deserving of a 10 it's this film because it perfectly achieves everything they could have wanted to achieve by making this movie and everything you could hope for as a fan of the original.

It's dripping with style and weirdness and completely unafraid of taking chances and being its own animal, while still somehow maintaining a faithful nod to the spirit of the original in countless ways.

I can't think of another sequel that was done this well. This will change the bar for what fans can expect from the resurrection of their favorite properties. Oh, and cinematographer Roger Deakins (nominated for an oscar 13 times but never took one home) is finally winning this year.
