Better than original

Rating: 5/10 (10 November 2017)

The Original Blade Runner movie is one of my most watched movies. I've probably watched it well over 20 times. You may be expecting me to go into a gushing critique about why Blade Runner is so good. The truth is that I never quite got it even though it should have been one of my favourite movies based on other peoples analysis.
Forward 35 years and along comes Blade Runner 2049. For fans of the original movie the good news is that it has a very similar feel to the first movie. The story is very much the same with the main focus of the film being a blade runner K (Ryan Gosling) who is tracking down and retiring replicants. The movie is well acted and personally I found it slightly more satisfying than the original. Something tells me that I will be in the minority with that view though. Well worth a watch and sure to be one of the movies that 2017 is remembered for.
