Bladerunner 2049 2017 9+ out of 10

BladeRunner 2049  2017  9+ out of 10

Now that is how you do a sequel to a 35 year old sci-fi movie.   If you listen to our podcast you will know by now that I’m not a big fan of Reboots and Remakes I general (there is an exception to every generalization).     I am however a fan of a sequel that builds on a pays tribute to the original film.   I loved both The Force Awakens and Tron Legacy –because they expanded on the previous films –while introducing new characters into the story as well.    In my opinion Bladerunner 2049 succeeds in doing this as well.  If you are a fan of the original Bladerunner than you are more likely to enjoy this sequel as well.   It definitely feels like an extension of the universe created in the first film.

The sets in this film are amazing.   Every set piece is like a work of art.  The visuals and music set the mood that puts you right back into the Bladerunner world.  This picture takes place about 30 years after the original and features a Replicant named K (played by Ryan Gosling)  that is tasked to hunt down older model Replicants.  On one of his missions he stumbles upon a mystery that leads him down a dangerous rabbit hole.  Like the original this film is sci-fi noir set amongst the rainy underworld that is Los Angeles in the future.   The film seamlessly blends into what you would expect the extension of the Bladerunner world would look and feel like.   The story consists of a satisfying mystery that ties in with the events of the first film that eventually leads the Bladerunner to find Deckard (played by Harrison Ford).   Of course this happens late in the films 2 hours and 45 minute running time.   My only complaint that I wish we had more time with Harrison’s character. 

Bladerunner 2049 is not for everyone.   Like the original it is a science fiction mystery story.  It isn’t an action adventure film with big explosions ---but instead a slow thought provoking

My Top 5 Must See Movies for 2017 so Far

2017 is going to be an interesting movie year.   There are a lot of big budget sequels and potential blockbuster films.

Here is my current top 5 Must See Movies so far.   
Things could change as  more trailers come out.


Number 5
Beauty and the Beast - March 17 

Hitting theaters in March of 2017 Disney brings to the screen a live action version of Beauty and the Beast.  The original animated film was great.....The stage play was a smash hit.  
I see no reason that this version will not be a big hit for Disney and it's fans.

Number 4
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales - May 26

Any other year a Pirates of the Caribbean movie might be at the top of my list.  The Curse of the Black Pearl is one of my top movies of all-time and Captain Jack Sparrow is one of my favorite movie characters.   This year  Pirates only makes number 4 on my Must See list.   A Good movie year this may be.

Number 3
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2  May 5

The first Guardians of the Galaxy was a surprise hit for me and my favorite movie of 2014.
I can't wait to see Star Lord and the gang in action again.  Baby Groot looks to be possibly the best character of 2017.

Number 2
Blade Runner 2049  October 6 

It is no mystery to people that know me that Harrison Ford is my favorite actor of All-Time.   Indiana Jones is my favorite character and Han Solo isn't far behind.   The return of Blade Runner which is a cornerstone classic Sci-Fi film that influenced so many films has been a long time coming.   I can't wait.   I hope they get it right. 

Number 1
Star Wars: Episode 8   December 15

No Surprise here.  Star Wars is my favorite movie franchise and after Rogue One Disney has it running on all cylinders.  We only got a glimpse of Luke in Episode 7.....now we get to see Luke Skywalker back in action again.
