Blade Runner 2049
Released: October 5th 2017 BBFc rating 15 Directed by Denis Villeneuve Cast: Ryan Gosling, Ana De Armas, Harrison Ford, Jared Leto It has been 35 years since the original Blade Runner film which was undoubtedly excellent, and after years of begging for it, Ridley Scott has finally made a sequel, and it is safe to say it holds up the reputation. The film follows a new protagonist in the form of officer K (Gosling) , who has a position in the LAPD reminiscent of the old Blade Runner job, and follows him as he explores the new breed of replicatnts that can reproduce. The film is very much like the original, with the same mysterious and neon setting, with a bizarre world that you struggle to understand and a soundtrack from Hans Zimmer to match the suspense. I thought the story was very compelling, you had good chemistry between the characters, and Leto, while his part was relatively short was very good also. I do have some issues with the film, Harrison Ford seems a bit underused
