worth the 35 year wait.

Rating: 8/10 (6 October 2017)

Bladerunner 2049 is a stunning sequel made by a director who is clearly a fan of the original and who has a bigger budget to expand the Bladerunner universe. The movie does go a little off at a tangent 2/3 in but quickly pulls it back on track.
For me questions that were raised by Bladerunner were re-enforced in this and only confirmed my thoughts on what and who Deckard is. There are nice and clever cameos by Edward James Olmos and Sean Young.
For me I still prefer Bladerunner over 2049 but 2049 is a worthy sequel and does need multiple watches to take it all in as dialogue does drop off a tad but this is a minor irritation and you will find yourself waiting and waiting for Deckard to appear.
To those who hate the film I guess this is because they are part of the Rabid fanbois who for 35 years have been wrong about Deckard and still can't accept the glaring obvious nature of what he is. Their score and reviews reflect this out.
For some this movie is far too intelligent for them, I liked the misdirection and this sequel nails home what most of us felt about Bladerunner from the release of the Final Cut version
