Movie Title: Blade Runner 2049
Grade: A-
Rating: R, 164 minutes
In a Nutshell: This
is a LONG movie. If you’re a big fan of
the 1982 original Blade Runner, you’ll probably love every minute, while admittedly, it’s not everyone’s
cup of futuristic tea.
This visually stunning sequel was a long time in coming and I’m thrilled that Harrison Ford was able to be in it so we can revisit his character.

You don’t have to see the original Blade Runner movie first, but it sure
helps. While this film stands alone in
an impressive way, it also deepens and expands the original. It's a science-fiction masterpiece that has director Denis Villeneuve earning the praise he deserves.
Uplifting theme:
- What
makes a man? What is humanity?
- Life....the value of life, the meaning of life.
Things I liked:
- You had me at Ryan Gosling. When he touched a piano key, I kind of hoped he'd start singing City Of Stars (From "La La Land" Soundtrack) ha ha
- Ana de Armas is just fun to look
at. I loved her scenes with Ryan Gosling.
- Robin
Wright sure has come a long way since The Princess Bride (one of my
all-time faves.)
- They
did an amazing job with creating a new world and time.
- The
cinematography by Roger Deakins is outstanding. Some say it’s the best of his career and worthy of an Oscar.
- The
sound is impressive, but sometimes annoying.
- There are many surprises, which makes movie-going so much fun.
Things I didn’t like:
- Everything
is so dusty! ha ha
- Some
of the frames are just so long and drawn out and slow-moving. Did I say the same thing three times?
- There are a lot of scenes where people sit, think, and stare.
- Lots
of monologues.
- It
takes forever to be rewarded with scenes that include both Harrison Ford
and Ryan Gosling.
- You kind of have to watch both films more than once to really understand it. I readily admit I don't get it all.
Tips for
parents:
- Kids
may be confused with what’s happening and get bored. Watching the movie requires a certain amount of patience.
- Violence.
- Some
gory, bloody scenes.
- Full female nudity.
- Prostitute action.
- Some
profanity.
