Visually stunning exprience

Rating: 7/10 (19 January 2019)

Blade Runner 2049 delivers as a unique and interesting visually stunning film. Although there is more to the story as the film does begin quite slow, once it fully ejects itself, it becomes a great ride. We can see why this film did not do well at the box office as the studios expected, as many audience members claim the film was too long, slow and boring. Although the film does move at a slow pace, its visuals is what makes the film great.
The story isn't that complex and quite confusing at first but the more watched, the more you begin to further understand what is occurring. Although there could have been more scenes of action, and more tense moments. And some scenes do somewhat drag on a bit. With its run time at 2 hours 43 minutes, there feels like much happening but also feels quite long.
Blade Runner 2049 is more of a one actor show, in which Ryan Gosling stars as officer K. Many trailers showed Harrison Ford quite much in the trailer as we assumed his role would be a major part, though he is heavily reduced as doesn't come in the film until the end, within the third act or so.
Despite its flaws, this film is quite an experience, and its shame more Hollywood films aren't like this. Perhaps another viewing in the future will satisfy and be necessary.
