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

Thirty years after the events of the original film, a new line of replicants was created, more humble and subordinate. The corporation is headed by Mr. Wallace (Jared Leto). Officer LAPD K (Ryan Gosling) learns top-secret information that threatens the existence of the whole world.

Trying to find answers to his questions, Kay begins looking for the former "blade runner" Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), who disappeared without a trace 30 years ago. The extraordinary work of Roger Dickins deserves all sorts of praises and awards (Oscar winner finally?), and Denis Villeneuve continued the film of Sir Ridley Scott with dignity.

This is a Denis's own film, which hardly fit into the standard understanding of the sequel. But a very long timing (~2 hours 43 minutes) is able to tire even those who are very pleased with the movie.
