 God damn, that's pretty Hey guys, this is my review for Blade Runner 2049 a film that I have admittedly been anticipating with both caution as well as extreme Excitement but with such a stellar team behind this film the original writers of the first film Roger Deacons behind the camera and Denae Villeneuve with the director's chair and Harrison Ford returning as Deckard as well as Ryan Gosling pulling off one of his Best performances. He's done in a long time in terms of film. I this is one of his best performances in terms of the scale of this film the film is literally about Ryan Gosling's character who is a Blade Runner uncovering mystery a secret a world-blowing exploit that threatens basically the means in how the world sees replicants and That's all I'm gonna say because anything else would just spoil this movie It is two hours and 44 minutes long. You will feel the length But you will be amazed by how good this movie looks Roger Deacons kills it with every single scene Every single shot of this movie is a masterpiece an art form of amazing film making and You'll love it. You'll just love to watch this movie because of how well it's shot But again going back to that time frame now a lot of people That's probably the biggest complaint that I've heard is that this film goes on for quite some time and admittedly it does But if you watch the first one the first one also takes its time Admittedly it's shorter than this film, but there's a lot of shots where just it's just pacing itself It's taking its time this film it takes its time. It does pace itself admittedly there's maybe like a few Moments I think that could have been shaved off, but I actually enjoy its length because it doesn't It's not spoon feeding you, but it's letting you soak in the universe It's letting you soak in the world building the story the elements the characters And I like that it does that that's a bold thing to do Especially with a film that had so much money into it had Sony behind it had Warner Brothers behind it I'm amazed at the length was able to stay in Villain who've probably had to fight hard for that and I appreciate that this film has such care and such precision Put into it Admittedly there's more action in the first one in my opinion I think there's more action that happened in the first one There are some cool scenes that happen in this one, but it's much more of an investigative into the characters and much more Just the world building the world building takes forefront a lot of the times in this film There's a lot of elements that are kind of defining the idea of relationships between replicants and sentient AI The idea of replicants and replicants and it just goes on and on and deeper and deeper And what you didn't think they could go any deeper into or explore any more in the original film They go even further into this one and as I said the world building aspect of this film is absolutely Incredible Villeneuve takes the universe that we were given in the first film and just delves into it The idea of snow in Los Angeles is so Mind-blowing the idea that there are streets that are just there's no streets It there's land that is just warehouses so tightly packed together that even flying above you can barely see in Between them where the road goes through them the idea of San Diego being basically America's West Coast garbage dump was actually kind of a Kind of a funny idea considering what people some people think of San Diego But I can say that I was thoroughly Fixed into this film if I were to watch it again. I admit I would feel the length Far far more. I would probably be a little bit antsy, but I still really enjoyed this film I think that aside from the length there are some questions that will be left unanswered for a movie That's got two hours and 44 minutes in it It still leaves a few questions unanswered especially the one that a lot of people have had since the first movie It doesn't answer that shit and I like it as well as got a little bit aggravated because of that at the same time But as I said I enjoyed this movie immensely. It was really really cool to watch. It's not for everyone It's definitely for fans of the first film for sure But like really big fans and you can't just say yeah, yeah like Blade Runner You have to be a fan to both understand it as well as truly appreciate in my opinion Because if you kind of go into this movie green or just an avid just kind of a regular film goer You're gonna kind of be admittedly you will be bored probably there'll be parts that you'll just be like Nothing's going on and I can understand that I totally would understand people having that thought process This is definitely a film that Doesn't cater to the regular audience as much as it does to the fans of the original film And that's ballsy to go for a hundred and thirty million dollar budget of a sequel to a film that flopped at the box office But is held it as a cult classic and one of the best sci-fi films of all time. Yeah, that took some balls I'll admit that that took some balls to do Ryan Gosling's character is a Interesting look into this sort of the setting and just how a person Revolves through the events that he goes through I can't say what happens to him because I'll spoil it but he Really emulates what's happening to his character on screen amazingly well And he really puts you in his shoes and he avidly Puts you there and the emotions and the pain and the confusion he is feeling Harrison Ford He actually looks like he cares Looks like he cared in this time like I was impressed But in the end as I said, this is a film. That's not for everyone I enjoyed it because I'm a big Blade Runner fan But again, I could understand how regular film goers are just people who are kind of just an average fan of the original Would be a little bit bored and a little bit kind of like well, what's all the hype for but in the end? I will give Blade Runner 2049 a six out of seven. This film is an absolute Gorgeous treat to watch the new Villeneuve was the only director I would have trusted to have taken this project on and he he met my expectations He didn't exceed them But he did well with what he had and what he was basically up against such a juggernaut a sci-fi film making in In the end guys, I hope you enjoyed this review I'm really interested in what other people are thinking of this film because I have seen there's a big device of sort of Split between people about the thoughts of this people have said that it's better than the original other people say it's overrated as hell I could see both arguments being, you know, well contested. I still think the original is better But this is really bloody close. Anyways guys, I hope you enjoyed this review. See you guys next time
