Just got in from watching Blade Runner 2049, it's MAGNIFICENT and well worth the thirty five year wait.
It's stayed 100% true to the original, which is a very brave piece of film making, as it'll mean nothing at all to vast swathes of the younger generation.
Also at nearly three hours long, this rules the bucket of popcorn / no attention span audience out too.
Ryan Gosling is perectly cast as the lead and the cinematography is just mind blowing, coupled with the Vangelis like soundtrack.
If the original Blade Runner hadn't been made and this was a stand alone film, it'd be hailed as a classic.
If I'm going to be hyper critical, it lacked the rich visual beauty of the first one and went for a more mono chrome, bleakness, which makes it slightly less of a spectacle.
I felt like I'd been watching it for 10 mins, not nearly 3 hrs.
I found the ending very emotional too and just like the original, it left you with a question hanging - " what was Dekard to K / Joe ".
Simply an amazing film and I'll be going back to watch it again very soon.

Can't stop thinking about it. Made up Villenueve directed it, seemed to fully get what the original was all about.
Going to see it again asap.
I didn't just outweigh my expectations, it blew them away.
I just an incredible film.
I'm already trying to work out when I can go and see it by myself, so I can watch it with 100% attention.
It's got to win every award going.

Deakins has to get the Oscar for cinematography.
This is good to hear. I was reluctant to see it based on the naff trailer and Scott's recent track record. But I've been encouraged by the positive reviews from lads who know their stuff and, equally, the spate of negative reviews from clueless plebs. This film shouldn't be for everyone
That's why it's such a brave piece of film making mate.
If you haven't seen / love the original, it'll mean nothing to a new film viewer.
Plus it's nearly three hours long, which rules out the " I can't keep still / where's all the explosions " generation.
This will have cost them lots of viewers and revenue.
It's a true masterpiece.
Going to make myself see this this weekend.

I went last night and I concur. I actually think it was visually stunning. The lighting and the sets were amazing. Gosling smashed it.
Watched the original on Wednesday and then went to the cinema for the new one. A thoroughly enjoyable almost 6hrs spent in the blade runner universe even if both are very slow in parts.
I was amazed by how great the first one looked and then by how beautiful the new one is. I think across the two movies there's hundreds of images you could imagine as stills and up on your wall. The cinematography and lighting is incredible.
I might go see this again to be honest, it's a sight to behold on a massive 4k screen.

I don't think it will, Oscar wise, it's out a bit too early and it has actually flopped a bit at the box office.
That being said, I can't imagine many Weinstein films will get nominated this year.
