A chilling, bold, mesmerizing, futuristic detective thriller.

Released on October 6, 2017 this neo-noir science fiction film was directed by Denis Villeneuve and written by Hampton Fancher and Michael Green. The R rated film has such a talented cast of Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford, who are amazing in their roles. Helping the duo are Ana de Armas, Sylvia Hoeks, Robin Wright, Mackenzie Davis, Carla Juri, Lennie James, Dave Bautista and Jared Leto in supporting roles.

Set thirty years after the original film, the story depicts a replicant blade runner named K, who discovers the remains of a once-pregnant replicant. To prevent a possible war between replicants and humans, K is secretly tasked with finding the child and destroying all evidence related to it, leading him to discover that the child bears a connection to missing blade runner Rick Deckard.

Overall, what I saw was absolutely perfect. The 163 stylish minutes, will fly by before you know it. Right from the opening shot of the R rated film, Officer K tracks down a replicant who is just trying to live a peaceful life as a farmer (a spectacled Dave Bautista, who I have to say is doing a great deal with a small role, but is really good).

The Oscar talk should be handed to bridesmaid Roger Deakins, in which he is really incredible in his acting role alone. The film alone is just gorgeous, from start to finish, there were no rushes to finish and it was paced perfectly with no jump cuts. Other than that, the 163 minute film never lost me and always kept me smiling.

In other roles we see Deakins and Villeneuve, who are great at the “futuristic” aspects of their vision, but they’ve made a film whose most striking imagery often relates to nature. When I think of the year “2049,” I think of waves crashing, snow falling, and, of course, rain pelting down—an iconic image from the future.

The film shot is also incredible. It’s one of the most stunningly shot films of not just this year, but the last several. I can’t wait to just see it again, just to bask in its visuals without trying to follow its plot. And the sound design is so remarkable that it’s almost overwhelming—this is a film you don’t passively watch, you experience it.

Meanwhile, the two remainders...Sylvia Hoeks and Ana de Armas as well. The film did drag a little for me near the end of the first hour when I wanted it to pick up the pace, and some of the characters feel like they do things dictated by plot necessity more than believable behavior, but that's a criticism that could fade on repeat viewing.

Robin Wright is also excellent, as he starts a good conversation with Ryan Gosling who say: " I did your job once - I was good at it." Indeed, this is an R rated film you probably won't see in your life.

In conclusion, Visually stunning and narratively satisfying, Blade Runner 2049 "deepens and expands its predecessor's story while standing as an impressive filmmaking achievement in its own right."

This is no doubtfully an AMAZING film, and if you are missing out on this film, you have to see this at least once in your life.
