Review of Blade Runner 2049 (2017) by Kit B — 03 Jan 2018

BR2049 was the smartest movie of 2017. While it falls short of brilliance on a few points -- Villenueve seems to think that the audience will forget scenes that happened more than 30 minutes before -- this is one of the rare sequels that improves upon its predecessor even as it elevates its own genre.

Much like the original, I think it'll be a while before audiences realize what they had.
