Review of Blade Runner 2049 (2017) by Luhter — 08 Oct 2017
A lot of people complain about the slow plot. Well, the first Blade Runner had a slow almost non-existent main plot: Deckard hunts for some replicants. What made it a great movie was the atmosphere, visuals, and philosophical implications. The movie conveyed exactly the same feeling like the original Blade Runner. The thing is, cinematic techniques evolved. A movie carbon copy of Blade Runner released today won't give the same feeling like back then. And it's amazing Dennis managed to capture that feeling with this sequel. He truly is a master of the craft.
While seemingly the film lacked a final "The C-Beams Speech", it actually didn't, because it started with one, "never witness a miracle".
The movie is great. It's slow, but I loved it this way, because a fast movie will make all the visual go to waste. Just don't watch it tired or as an action flick. While the plot line is not his strongest point (neither was the first's movie) it's still engaging, fresh and it doesn't keep you bored.
