A true masterpiece

Rating: 9/10 (4 August 2019)

I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like this. That's what I said about the original Blade Runner.It was long but none of it felt wasted. It held nearly true to the iconic original yet technology escalated the visual aspects far beyond what seemed cinematically possible. The soundtrack all important was equally as mysterious and the brutality of the future was brought to the forefront in a way that didn't disappoint. Harrison Ford nailed it in his sequel roll and Ryan Gosling proved an effective successor to the beloved Daekert. Edward James Olmos was there as well however fleeting, which delighted me. I could have delivered a full 10 if it t were a bit lower tech and there had been more memorable a script. The first delivered more iconic sound bites yet for what this was I am totally blown away by each and every character and each and every gorgeous reference to the original version. A beautiful and thoughtful film and an enormous success no matter how you slice it. This deserves to be watched and studied. I have seen the original about 10 times or maybe more.
