A damn good sequel! This is how a true Sci-Fi masterpiece should be made!

Rating: 9/10 (8 October 2017)

Loosely based on Sci-Fi maestro Philip K. Dick's 1968 novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?", in 1982 Ridley Scott created an amazing neo-noir cinematic experience, titled BLADE RUNNER that has been improved with ages. And that's just not only because of those numerous cuts, edits and improvised versions produced by the studio over the years but more for its one hell of a thought provoking story line...What defines us as Human & our identity? In what sort of 'better future" we are actually heading as a specie? A dream like technology driven world where reality will depend on our improvised senses or implanted memory, trying to hide an absolute dystopian nightmare beneath all of that?! In that bleak, polluted, morally & environmentally degraded world, a Blade runner get hired to track down & 'retire' a group of androids "who have seen things" that eventually made them more human than ever where they movingly throw a question mark to our known concept of humanity at the end. After 35 years, Denis Villeneuve not only just honored the legacy here, he also remarkably extend that epic tale of human enigma where another young Blood Runner is trying to solve a mystery that planted its seed years ago. Through a deep emotional journey, Villeneuve took it to another level of cinematic excellence that convincingly outshines most other contemporary, so called Sci-Fi masterpieces (even including his 2016 film ARRIVAL!). Actually we couldn't bargain & get better than this, a perfect combination of the finest talents of current Hollywood that you'll find here in almost every department of the film, resulting a damn good sequel in compare to today's Hollywood standard. But I guess, for its slow burn nature, dark tone & the overall aesthetic value, only the ardent fans of the original going to get it properly & they'll love it for sure.
