Critics Consensus

Visually stunning and narratively satisfying, Blade Runner 2049 deepens and expands its predecessor's story while standing as an impressive filmmaking achievement in its own right.

If every new film made today is to a greater or lesser degree an echo box of past possibilities, what's notable is how much Villeneuve gives those echoes room to breathe and to be new.

In the end, for all its pleasures, it's difficult to view Blade Runner 2049 as anything but an elaborate echo of the original, neither true sequel nor reboot, unclear of its own identity.

The film dares to be ambiguous, but ambiguity is a bad fit with the current critical mood that art must be prescriptive rather than reflective.

3.5/4

Is Blade Runner 2049 a masterpiece like its predecessor? Definitely not. It's not even a match for 2016's superb Arrival, the previous film from director Denis Villeneuve. Yet on its own terms, it's a dazzling achievement.

5/5

2049 is able to exist both as a masterful sequel and/or stand-alone film in the universe, which showcases Villeneuve’s massive skill as a storyteller and further validates him as one of the best visionaries of our generation.

If the original film’s warmth beneath the cold metropolitan’s structure came from Deckard’s love for Rachel, 2049 extends this ethos to a love and understanding of the self in the greater context of others.

Good follow up to Blade Runner final cut.

Simply stated one of the most important and best science fiction films ever made. Beautifully made and imagined, as one would expect. Multiple viewings are required as the film is texturally very deep. It is the perfect sequel to the original, and much deeper. Taking on some difficult themes, the sort of thing for which science fiction is the perfect medium. Ryan Gosling plays the replicant protagonist with deep sympathy showing multiple facets of this troubled soul looking for redemption or perhaps even life. It is a real marvel, don't trip up and try to compare to the original. Take it as it is.

Decent follow up although I did need to rewatch it. What's not to like, cyber punk thriller topped of with scenic beauty.

Good to see this film teamed up with the first film in a double feature at IMAX. Perhaps a little slower in pace than the initial outing, but it still held the attention with a strong story which produced multiple permutations of ‘who/what’ would be the ‘miracle’ child. Faithful to the original with Harrison Ford appearing in the final third of proceedings to further consolidate the franchise. The product placement this time around was Johnny Walker still going strong in 2049. And … it still continues to rain heavily in LA in the future.

Breathtakingly beautiful, but with pompous dialogue and a pointless plot.

Blade Runner 2049 doesn’t just tell a story, it puts you inside K’s head, and that’s why it hits so hard, especially for young men. K isn’t a power fantasy. He’s quiet, restrained, obedient, emotionally muted. The movie makes you live that emptiness with him. Long silences, wide shots, minimal dialogue—it mirrors what it feels like to be like him.
