Blade Runner 2049 - how do you match an era defining original? Mostly you can't of course, and this is no exception.
There are some very clever plot lines.
On the plus side this is grand cinema of the highest order, the cinematography is breathtaking and the set designs and cityscapes at times draw dropping.
Still a must see film, it was fantastically enjoyable

Blade Runner 2049 is bloody fantastic, probably my favourite film of the year so far, particularly enjoyed the visuals and the soundtrack.
Denis Villeneuve (the director) has to be one of the best in the film industry now - He’s rumoured to be in the running for the next Bond film, which would be awesome.

Final saw this on download. I saw the original when it came out - I really liked it without getting all obsessesed with it like some did. I think I've seen it once since. So I didn't have any major emotional investment in this sequel - I couldn't have cared less if it was a worthy successor or not; basically, for me, it was either going to be a good film or it wasn't.
Luckily, it was good. Interesting, engaging and beautiful to look at (I wish I'd seen it in the cinema).
