David McK (3623 KP) rated Blade Runner 2049 (2017) in Movies

Nov 7, 2019

I'm writing this in November 2019.

The setting for the original 1982 Blade Runner movie.

The future L.A. of that movie is nothing like the 'current' L.A.

Released over 30 years later to a film that, at the time, was considered a commercial flop (but later gained a cult following), this sequel is visually sumptuous but also rather, shall we say, slow.

This follows a new strain of Blade Runner/bioengineered replicant called Agent K (Ryan Gosling), who stumbles upon a clue to an old case while carrying out a mission: a clue that, eventually, leads him to Rick Deckard (a returning Harrison Ford) and that threatens to unravel the fabric of the society in which he lives.

Great!

This movie is SO much better than I expected. The little boy from "The Shining" is all grown up. He and a young girl with psychic abilities(shine)take on a powerful cult of monsters posing as people. The acting is really good and the cinematography very good. The story unfolds beautifully with many twists and turns and ups and downs. If you enjoyed "The Shining" you'll really enjoy this one. The special effects were pretty cool. I wouldn't recommend it for younger viewers as there are some fairly graphic violent scenes. Overall though this one has lots of emotional moments and plenty of creep factor. The ending is fantastic. Really worth a watch!
