The visuals and plot parallels are brilliant. Perhaps it was seeing the first in a theater when people didn't have interrupting smart phone sounds or felt the need to comment for everyone to hear two or three seats ahead or back.Please filter out anyone any comment that uses "women are hot" or do not cite Rutger Hauer.Adult version. "Blade Runner" was a step away from Harrison Ford's typecast. A dark role, but anyone that payed attention to 2049 could not miss the flawless re- performance. Well casted with Ryan Gosling and Edward James.

Denis Villeneuve's Blade Runner 2049 is an equally dull and boring yet visually appealing sibling of the 1982 Ridley Scott film, both of which basically have the same plot, same setting, and even the same characters to some extent, and which can only be completed watching with a struggle unless you doze off somewhere in the 31st minute, or if I want to sound pretentious like the film looks, the 49th minute. TN.

One can say that maybe this film closer to Dick's tale than the first. If you delete all the scenes and dialogs related with the bots uprising, It's like a screenplay done by a psychotic writer with two personalities, one is a man who likes dark stories about humanity, ethics and sentiments, other is wrote by a personality dominated by a producer wanabe that wants a blockbuster. Hard job for the director to join that two personalities in a good looking and half of the time interesting movie, with characters acting divided into boring and interesting depending on the storyline told.One story is deep and inspiring, yet sad and desolating, the other is just another rise of the robots nonsense that could be a great action success. I Hope that one day the director does two final cuts, one with the sad story and one with the action movie. They could be very good movies, but together they lack sense, a real pity.

I thought this movie was excellent. The cinematography is stunning. I really enjoyed the storyline. The cast is wonderful. Most people are mad because it leaves open the possibility of another movie. So be it. Some of y'all just need a big hug.
