Powerful, honors the original

Rating: 8/10 (28 December 2017)

Let me get this out of the way: the film is simply stunning visually. They did a masterful job of bringing the mystique of the first film to life in full HD without sacrificing the integrity of the original's look and feel.
Strong performances from the main actors leave the viewer engrossed in the film from start to finish. Subtle yet powerful twists take place that leave you questioning your emotions about character throughout the film. Once of the things that this film gets a lot of credit for in my book is successfully creating a story that the viewer can care about as a sequel to the original Blade Runner.
There was a lot to manage here and I feel that they did a near masterful job of pulling it off. This film is absolutely worth seeing and is one of the more underrated movies of the year in my opinion. The film is even more impressive when watched directly after a viewing of the original Blade Runner as you get to appreciate just how successfully they recreated this world. It's newer and shinier than the original but it feel just as gritty, hopeless and bleak.
This is a must watch for all Sci Fi fans and fans of the original film.
