I saw all they hype for the movie and was ready for a let down bc I was one blade runner fan who didnt want the material messed with again. I loved ridley's final cut and I thought the blade runner adventure game westwood studios made was perfect and we should leave well enough alone, and yet im here to tell yall that this movie is easily one of my five favorite movies of all time.
This review will contain some small spoilers but not too many yet yall have been warned.
Ryan Does an excellent job playing K, Once again he shows what a great actor he has become; from early days in remember the titans to drive and the nice guys, he has been wonderful. Harrison Ford is not in the movie a lot but the time he is there he is amazing. I thought he did a pretty good job in the force awakens but steps up his game to pure awesome. The rest of the cast is all really good to awesome. The only one who overcooked his role some was Jared Leto, which should not surprise anyone who saw suicide squad. The director Denis Villeneuve has been great and does not disappoint here either. The movie is long but I for one was sucked into it from the word jump. The thing this movie has over the original is the fact that while the world in the first blade runner was interesting and the setting and design was a masterpiece, the main story was lacking bc dekker was a detective who didnt really detect anything. That has been greatly solved in this movie with K doing some real detective work. The world has been taken ahead 30 yrs and it looks authentic and lived in, much like OT star wars or wing commander or the remake of battlestar galactica.
One of the few problems that I have with this movie is one of the few problems I had with the original I dont buy the romance angle fully. What I mean is I never really bought the dekker and Rachael romance and I dont fully buy the Romance between K and his AI companion (even though this romance is far more believable in this movie than the first one) something still seems a little off however. But that is a very small gripe; I will say this is not an action movie what so ever, the movie runs 2 hrs and 45 minutes but only has three very small action scenes in it. Overall I think this is a pretty perfect film. Give it a 9.8/10 after a couple of more viewings might go up to a 10/10.
blade runner universe has moved up in my Scifi rankings now it goes
4. star wars
3. battle star glactica
2. blade runner
1. wing commander
for those who have never seen the blade runner game here it is, came out in 96 and still works great on modern computers
