Blade Runner 2049 Ratings & Reviews
- MikeOctober 11, 2024Blade Runner 2049 is a slow paced and beautiful work of art, that immerses you into the world of Blade Runner "Is it the same now, as then? The moment you met her. All these years, drunk on the memory of its perfection. How shiny her lips. How instant your connection. Did it never occur to you that is why you were summoned in the first place? Designed to do nothing short of fall for her then and there? All to make that single perfect specimen. That is, if you were designed. Love, or mathematical precision? Yes? No?" After watching Blade Runner 2049 a couple of times I initially did not like it, but something kept pulling be back. I started to appreciate it more and more, and it eventually became one of my all-time favorite films. We don鈥檛 see it very often that the sequel is as good, or even better, than the orginal. I really liked the story and the plot, which felt solidly structured throughout. It also had a perfect ending, which was a beautiful manifestation of the philosophy of Blade Runner 2049. ".....is the most human thing we can do". The plot is structured so that the viewer has the same perspective as the protagonist, Officer K. As Officer K, played by Ryan Gosling, discovers more and more about the truth, the viewer does too. Officer K does not show a lot of emotion throughout the film, but when he does the impact is much bigger. Especially since Ryan Gosling is capable of showing a lot of emotions with minimal facial expressions. This journey of discovery, combined with the slow pacing that provides the viewer with time to absorb and process the emotions, results in an impactful and captivating story that has you immersed throughout. During his journey Officer K is accompanied by Joi, his artificial love interest, played by Ana De Armas. Ana created a strong emotional connection between Officer K and Joi, which we as the viewer feel too. Officer K also meets the antagonist Luv, played by Sylvia Hoeks. Sylvia showed the emotional confusion within her character in a strong but balanced way, which made the viewer realize how unstable Luv actually is and how well she could hide it. Ofcourse you also have Rick Deckard, played by Harrison Ford, which was a great connection to the original Blade Runner but felt a bit unnecessary for me. The character I was most interested in was Niander Wallace, played by Jared Leto. Jared made his character feel disconnected to every other character, which is a good thing. Niander Wallace was a mysterious, philosophical and powerful entity... stuck in his own ideology and driven by the motivation to reproduce replicants. As if he is a God.

- L CApril 4, 2025Pretty to look at. Nothing to think about. Barely a story worth following to be frank.
- Dr. AegerMarch 29, 2025Within cells interlinked. Within cells interlinked. Within cells interlinked.
- kelzautMarch 17, 2025A LEGIT sequel to the 1982 original, and that's an act to follow for sure, a cult classic. I appreciate the nods to the originals aesthetic and the subtle updates to the technology that drives home the simple truth that the more things change they stay the same. Also the expanded world does justice to the world presented in the original. Although this movie lacks the 'unicorn' moment that makes you question everything you just watched nor the villain isn't as menacing as the original. The ending is quite satisfying and you don't feel cheated or your intelligence insulted.
- Dave BarnesMarch 11, 2025Quite drawn out, but very well executed. A good sequel with a satisfying ending.
- LordDeTracyFebruary 17, 2025One of the best sci-fi movies of all time.
- RyezooFebruary 14, 2025Denis Villeneuve is simply becoming one of the best. He is on such a role. Is it blasphemous that I loved this one more than the original? Since the movie was so unpredictable I'll keep this short and sweet. The acting was fantastic. Harrison Ford gives one of his best performances in years. Ryan Gosling continues his hot streak. This sequel felt so true to the original and built off the amazing world developed in the first. The world feels likes its jumping off the screen. This is one of the best looking films I've EVER seen. This is due to the legend behind the lens Roger Dekins who will surely be nominated for this. The sound effects and score hit you in the chest and feelings. This movie screams to be seen on the largest screen possible! Go Go Go see this. I can't wait to rewatch!
- Eric BakkeJanuary 26, 2025The breathtaking visuals and soundscape more than compensate for the slow pace and some of the film鈥檚 ambiguous themes. Just be patient, settle in, and enjoy the ride.
