Masterpiece

Rating: 9/10 (15 December 2019)

If you enjoyed the original Blade Runner, you will be impressed by this film. I was blown away. The plot, the acting, the aesthetics - everything is executed to near perfection. The pacing slows a bit at hour 2, but picks back up for the conclusion. The story is compelling and beautifully rendered. The theme is sewn throughout in a way that isn't overly simplified or explained constantly with dunbed-down dialogue. Ryan Gosling impresses with his consistent acting, and Jared Leto is consistently creepy. Harrison Ford shows he's not done yet.
The truly amazing part of this movie is the fact that they have captured the look and feel of the original. The music, cinematography, and scenery are all beautiful homages to the original. Yes, they're updated (naturally-it's been 30 years in Blade Runner world). But not in the way the Star Wars prequels pissed all over the originals. And the CGI is flawless.
Watch this movie. Put your phone down and actually take in every scene. It's worth it?
