Awesome Soundtrack!

Rating: 10/10 (17 October 2017)

The original "Blade Runner", back in the eighties, is one of the best movies ever (It features in my "top ten ever" list). Not only the mood, visuals, effects, actors, story are good, but the music....all of the sound tracks are absolutely amazing. Again, in my opinion Vangelis - "Blade Runner" is the best Soundtrack ever, the best vangelis album and the best electronic album ever made! That could be the reason why Vangelis didn't participate in this "2049" sequel. A masterpiece like that couldn't be beaten. I figure it must have been hard for the director to chose the right composer for the sequel. Maybe harder than to chose the leading actor - Gosling delivered very well, by the way. So, I was in a very high expectation state about this aspect, but when the movie started I immediately relaxed, because you could feel the same ambient and deepness which facilitated the immersion in the movie and eased the link with the previous one. I loved the soundtrack. It's absolutely majestic and great and one of the most interesting aspects about this film. It's also very present, from the beginning to the end, and you feel that it is vital to the movie that it happens that way. I watched it in an 3D IMAX Theatre. The image was astonishing and the sound....incredible. The Perfect setting for the Perfect movie. About the story and the asthetics, I loved the visual effects, the wardrobe, the city ambient, the light, the pace, the actors, everything. And I must highlight, that I'm not a R. Gosling fan, but he was very, very good, and very convincing. The right actor for the part, no doubt about it. I loved Harrison Ford's acting also. So convincing. So good! But I must say that the original movie is more Epic, more convincing, more incredible in almost all of the chapters and aspects. I loved the movie, and give it a 10. But I would love to "see" what Vangelis could have done! Nevertheless, like the original, this sequel is also a brilliant masterpiece!
