If you haven't seen the original "Blade Runner" I recommend you to see it. It's classic considered for one of the best SF movies of all time. Watching the original "Blade Runner" is crucial to fully understand the plot of the sequel. If you don't like the original, don't go to watch the sequel.
"Blade Runner 2049" has many assets that made the original so successful.
The gloomy vision of the future and the atmosphere of the movie is really stirring. Technology replacing humans, overpopulated cities, social problems, climate change and pollution. I really entered into this world while watching the movie.
The plot is initially ingenious, but it runs out of steam in the middle of the movie and introduces many ideas known from other SF films. All in all, the sequel was neither a gem nor letdown for me and it's good. The movie could have been worse, like many other sequels.
The ending of the sequel has many open threads and unanswered questions. It suggests that the next part is to be released. I thought to myself that I won't go to see the next part. Instead, I'll read the Philip K. Dick novel that inspired the original "Do Androids Dream of Electric sheep?".
