Visually stunning and despite its long run time and slow pace, it captivated from start to finish.
A truly worthy sequel to the original Blade Runner as well as to Lars and the Real Girl.

I would argue that there are a couple of flaws (imperfect casting, doubtful final battle, minor plot issues), but it's a real beauty. Ryan Gosling is perfect. Was made for it.

This is a movie you won't watch for its narrative qualities, but for stunning cinematography. Although the story is stretched and characters aren't as memorable as you would want them to be, Blade Runner 2049 is visually magnificent picture, total eye candy where every scene is thoroughly crafted, accompanied with amazing soundtrack from Hans Zimmer.

Denis Villeneuve's Blade Runner 2049 is not, to my mind, the transcendent piece of cinema some would have it be. It is many other, fine, things. A film noir thriller like the original (though visually closer to the director's other sci-fi films, Arrival and Enemy). A reverse Blade Runner, in that the hero is a replicant who may have doubts as to the truth of that. A tribute that doesn't, to my amazement, kill the ambiguities I so love from the first film (despite the participation of some of its stars/characters). A strong action flick with awesome set pieces. A social fable about how we treat minorities. A lesson in cinematography from film legend Roger Deakins. An exercise in world building, pushing the retro future imagined in 1982 by another 30 years. Further questioning of what it means to be human, or just what makes a person "real". Clocking in at nearly 3 hours, there's certainly a lot to unpack. However, it lacked the most of the elliptical qualities of the original, its story-telling more overt and its story beats explained. I felt like the fates of certain characters left me hungry for better resolutions. So in strictly comparing the two films, the original hasn't been dislodged from its exalted place in my appreciation. Taken alone, for what it is, 2049 is still one of the better SF films one is likely to see this year.

A film made for cinema. I'm sure Roger Deakins will win the Oscar.

Visuly outstanding but the plot is a little bit sparse.

Perfect movie, stunningly shot and well developed plot 10/10. (Gives more clues whether Deckard is a replicant or not)

Both visually stunning and deeply poetic, this movie will not disappoint those who love Scott's Blade
Runner.

So refreshing that this wasn't yet another mindless remake/reboot sequel. A visual masterpiece with a well constructed plot. Any nods to the original that were included were subtle and sympathetic to spirit and style of the original. I also felt the ending was very akin to the type of ending provided by the original.

Great images, great sound, great flow of the movie. However the main plot and the characters are a bit shallow. Some of their motives seemed constructed and did not really get to me.

Am I the only one who thinks Ryan Gosling has the emotional range of a teacup?

Nonetheless I do not regret watching this movie on the big screen.

It's a replicant. It looks the same ... kinda. It sounds the same ... kinda. But there's something not quite right under the surface. Emotionless. Not sure about what it is or what it wants to be. Why did you turn the tortoise on its back BladeRunner2049? Why aren't you helping it?
