Blade Runner 2049

Rating: 9/10 (10 October 2017)

Blade Runner 2048 is an art house sci-fi. It hearkens back to the days when framing the scene like a living artwork mattered, when immersing the audience in mood was considered masterful, when necessary action scenes without bravado was considered more engaging.
While the incredible Rutger Hauer, and Darryl Hannah (really) as villains in the original Blade Runner find no parallel in this sequel, Blade Runner 2049 is indeed wonderful in its own right.
Its philosophic edge cuts you deep if you let it: bio-technological robots with artificial intelligence are the main characters in 2049 society. ... And more than ever we are like those same robots: we know more about the world and experience it less, feel it less, than perhaps any society previously.
... And Blade Runner 2049 tries to make us feel, to take us beyond our everyday expectations to a world of the sublime.
