this is one movie i hv waited for a long time... maybe since 1982!
blade runner 2049 is a sequel to
blade runner 1982.
the original was a philip dick (minority report, total recall) story, directed by ridley scott.
this new one is directed by Denis Villeneuve (sicario, arrival).
stars ryan gosling and harrison ford (from 1982 movie).
i find this movie excellent - no so much action but a very special "futuristic" feel.
the story is good, great cinematography.
as the film is a sequel and very loyal to the original, one MUST have watched
blade runner 1982 to like it.
the script and direction took pains to bring back what was shown in the 1982 one - the characters, costumes, effects...
and... a superb job bringing back "rachael" (sean young) like they did with peter cushing in
star wars: rouge one.
i watched it in 1080p dd5.1; will watch again when 4k dtshdma is available next month. 4/5.
