Leave your thoughts about Blade Runner 2049.
| Daily StarAndy LeaNot quite a classic, but this smart and visually stunning sequel will still be poured over by fans for years to come. If this was a poisoned chalice, Villeneuve has grabbed it with both hands. |
| Birth.Movies.Death.Dave SchillingA meticulously made visual wonder that should put any other filmmaker dabbling in sci-fi futurism on notice. |
| London Evening StandardMatthew NormanForty years after his death, people still argue over which Elvis, the slim young Adonis or the portly middle aged crooner, was better. Forty years from now, people may be having that debate about these Blade Runners. |
| IGN MoviesScott ColluraIt organically expands and grows what came before. It’s a deep, rich, smart film that’s visually awesome and full of great sci-fi concepts, and one that was well worth the 35-year wait. |
| Independent (UK)Geoffrey MacnabLike The Godfather Part II, it's a sequel to a very celebrated film which may actually be better than the original. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawBlade Runner 2049 is a narcotic spectacle of eerie and pitiless vastness, by turns satirical, tragic and romantic. |
| Total FilmJordan FarleyAn exquisitely crafted sequel that stands shoulder to shoulder with one of the greatest films ever made. Everyone involved is operating at the height of their powers. |
| Empire MagazineDan JolinAs bold as the original Blade Runner and even more beautiful (especially if you see it in IMAX). Visually immaculate, swirling with themes as heart-rending as they are mind-twisting, 2049 is, without doubt, a good year. And one of 2017’s best. |
| Daily Telegraph (UK)Robbie CollinThat Blade Runner 2049 is a more than worthy sequel to Scott’s first film means it crosses the highest bar anyone could have reasonably set for it, and it distinguishes Villeneuve – who’s masterminded all of this, somehow, since making Arrival – as the most exciting filmmaker working at his level today. |
| Hollywood ReporterTodd McCarthyAs a contrast to Gosling's deliberately deadened, emotionally zoned-out turn, Ford almost single-handedly amps up a film otherwise intentionally drained of character vitality. |
