Who would have guessed Blade Runner would get the sequel it deserves.

But it did, Blade Runner 2049 is the sequel we didn't know we needed.
I've been avoiding any media in regards to this movie until i saw it today. I just realized there's 3 shorts for it out, but watching it after was interesting too, allowed me to fill a few gaps, such as who's the blind guy for instance.
I went in with zero expectations, I've been so disappointed with Hollywood lately, with these trends of remakes and sequels, I went in borderline cynical about it. It didn't help that just before the movie they played a trailer for the DC "avengers" and another pacific rim??
From the first frame and the first strings of music of Blade Runner 2049 my eye lids just opened wide, this is one visually amazing and striking movie, so many hidden meanings in the dialog, in the set pieces, in how they light the shots, in the emotion of the music, the nuances of the acting, it's a pretty masterful movie in nearly every regarded for me, apart from minor things.
I didn't feel Blade Runner needed a sequel at all, quite the contrary, but you know what, I felt that every person that worked on this film had a huge respect for the original movie, i really felt they worked on this and knew they had to honor the artists that came before them, and it shows.
I'm considering going to imax to watch it again if i find the time, some of the scenes here need to be experienced in a huge screen and with a killer sound system. My inner nerd is pretty damn satisfied tonight!
Congratulations to Denis Villeneuve, he should be proud he made a masterpiece, don't worry about all the headlines regarding this movie flopping in the box office, because Blade Runner 2049 will sell for 30 years, just like the original did, this is how cult classics work.
