I've missed Roy until I found Love.

Rating: 10/10 (4 February 2018)

I agree with Peterfaure's review here because I'm a fan of R.Scott and Blade Runner is one of his masterpieces, so when they started talking about a sequel, R.Scott was mandatory of course, instead they chose D.Villeneuve, as a Canadian, I was delighted and I was also worried.
From my point of view, (I watched Blade runner once a year since its release), D.Villeneuve did his own masterpiece, I mean, what R.Scott's BR 2019 could have been with today's technology,
D.Villeneuve has developed his own vision in the Scott universe, you know immediately where you are and the story is catching up in the opening as you imagine Dekard and Rachel driving away to this place (if you've already admitted that the sunny weather and the forest at the end was one of the unicorns in the 1st).
If I'm not a big fan of Ryan Gosling, I have to say, here, from his recent movies where he's still this guy without expression, except sometimes, a burst of anger, found his purpose;
As a replicant he is subtle enough to display emotions due to his memory implants, he lives with a hologram, Joi (Ana de Harmas) but instead of an anti-hero like H.Ford / Deckard, it's just KD6 / 3.7, a tool, another human face, used by the LAPD to track down older products like D.Bautista (which deserve more important roles) in the first few minutes;
Morton is not a 'Roy', 'replicants' these days' have found a way to live far from civilization until the end, until you meet love (S.Hoeks) she is as beautiful, ... smart and perfect as Rachel was, but also ruthless and mortal as Roy was too, as K. says, "if he has named you, you must be special!"
Wallace (J.Lehto) is the new technology. guru, the Creator, since Tyrell died long ago leaving a legacy of Nexus more human than human, seeking the definitive Path of Life in his children, probably 99% an AI himself, will give Love the full power to find the inconceivable.
Lt.Joshi (R.Wright) and K found a body in a hidden crate at the bottom of Morton's farm that can destroy the thin balance between human and AI, in fact, Tyrell was a genius because the human remains in this box. are of a woman who gave birth and she has a serial number.
The recent suites play a lot on nostalgia, who as a fan was not happy to see Han Solo pass the Millenium Falcon door?
Here is the same feeling, at least for me, seeing Deckard (H.Ford) face to face with another Blade runner was the end of a 35+ years wait, Harrison Ford does not make an appearance in as a guest and of course reinforce the wonderful cast all the way to the end.
Well, even though I've missed a lot of Roy's poetry (Rutger Hauer), a strong musical score like Vangelis did, you'll have everything, a soundscape, a dark atmosphere and ... time, D.Villeneuve took the time to install his story and it is a movie, I will recommend for sure, it's a must.
The coolest thing for me is that I can and I will watch BR 2019 and then 2049 right after, because:
if only all the sequel were that good.
