Blade Runner 2049's reviews
Media reviews
The Guardian
Blade Runner 2049 is a narcotic spectacle of eerie and pitiless vastness, by turns satirical, tragic and romantic.
Variety
Villeneuve earns every second of that running time, delivering a visually breathtaking, long-fuse action movie whose unconventional thrills could be described as many things.
USA Today
Ridley Scott?s 1982 classic Blade Runner popularized the cyberpunk movement (a gritty mix of neo-noir and hardcore sci-fi) back in the day, but 2049 perfects it. Super-stylish and deeply human, the spectacular follow-up takes the detective story of the first film and turns it into a grand mythology of identity, memory, creation and revolution.
The Telegraph
That 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.
The Hollywood Reporter
A stylish but overlong sequel to a sci-fi favorite.
Vulture
There?s nothing close to the shock of seeing Blade Runner?s Tokyo-influenced futuristic dystopia ? a dismal mix of high-tech and corrosion ? for the first time.
