One of the best sequels ever made that deserves more recognition

Rating: 9/10 (2 November 2017)

The original Blade Runner was visually compelling that set the stage for future dystopian films. Blade Runner 2049 is no exception while using CGI for a lot of landscapes, the visuals look just as amazing as the first. The story of this film is engaging and keeps you in the story for the 160-minute runtime. I saw a few people around the internet complaining about the runtime, and why it is not doing well at the box office. I completely disagree, because the film Interstellar, for example, made $650 million with a slightly longer runtime. I believe the box office performance has to deal with the recent bad sequels that have come out of Hollywood the past few years. Terminator Genisys, Ghostbusters (2016), Independence Day: Resurgence, and Red Dawn have done poorly, which gave any good sequel or reboot a bad chance of making it at the box office. I hope there is a follow up to this masterpiece which explores more of the universe.
