It works!

Not an easy challenge to rise to.
As can be seen with the recent re-visit Ridley Scott made to the Alien universe, this can go horribly wrong.
Probably against what seems to be his current opinion, the director maintained the ambiguity around the original movie's lead (Deckard) and also managed to expand on most of the loved themes and imagery of the original.
Although not entirely a flop, the original performed poorly when released but gained a massive cult following which is still growing today.
This growth wasn't enough to Smash any Box office records but it did nothing to destroy the fanbase or disgrace the original (Unlike every other scifi franchise now has)
And I can see this maturing equally as well as the first.
An excellent, cinematic, respectful and enjoyable movie.
