A Sequel that expands the original movie's greatness

Rating: 10/10 (8 October 2017)

Just saw the new Blade Runner. The first one is one of my favorite movies of all time for bringing the noir style to scifi movies and adding layers to a somewhat simple category. So I was concerned if they would do a sequel that would keep the franchise where it should be - the top. And I must say - it was better! All things I liked in the first one were there and expanded. Denis Villeneuve (director) and Ridley Scott (producer) took the original concept, added more storytelling, criticism to current world actions, paid homage to the original movie and showed how important certain things from the past are. Another great thing is a movie about the future without the common gadgets, cell phones, social media or TV. Brilliant cinematography, score, pace (nothing feels rushed, each scene is well crafted), acting and directing.
Gosling and Ford are outstanding. Ana de Armas is great. I would only have chosen an older actor to play Wallace- Leto is not convincing in the role. Without giving any spoilers, I recommend seeing this masterpiece. 10/10.
