This is the 2017 long-awaited sequel to the (now) iconic 1984 film Blade Runner, which starred Harrison Ford a Deckard, a Blade Runner who hunted down and retried Artificially Intelligent Androids called Replicants. This movie is set 30 years after the original movie. We find out that the Tyrell Corporation has been taken over and is now the Wallace Corporation, run by Niander Wallace (played by Jared Leto). The corporation still makes replicants and has basically turned them into slaves, and the Earth has become a dystopian nightmare, in large part due to an electromagnetic pulse that wiped everything out in 2022. Ryan Gossling plays K, the most advanced replicant (a Nexus-9 Replicant) who is a Blade Runner that hunts down and retires rogue replicants. In the process of retiring a replicant at the beginning of the movie, he discovers evidence that replicants can reproduce biologically, and this leads him, through a series of events, to finding Deckard (again played by Ford). I will not spoil the movie for those who have not seen it, but if you have seen the original movies, similar themes play out in this movie that did in the first one.For those who get the 4-k blu-ray, it is a two-disc set with a UHD disc just containing the movie and a regular blu-ray with the movie and the extras. The A/V quality of the UHD disc is top-notch, pretty much what I would call reference quality. There are, of course, a lot of CGI effects in the movie, and everything looks seamless so, if not for flying cars and the like, it would be hard to tell what is real and what is not. The extras include two longer featurettes, one 17 minutes and one about 22 minutes, that focus on casting and the look of the new movie. Then there are a series of prologues which are prequel shorts to the movie that provides some backstory. The longest is just over 15 minutes and the other two are around 6 minutes. Then there are a series of short featurettes that total 11 minutes and can be played all at once, which cover different aspects of the Blade Runner world. Then there is a trailer for the game that was released around the same time as the movie. All in all, the extras total about an hour and twenty minutes, give or take.Overall, the movie is very good. The writers did a good job incorporating parts of the story from the original film into a new, updated movie, and made it work. The cast is very strong and includes Robin Wright, Ana De Armas (in her first major role in the US), and Dave Bautista. The movie even finds a way to incorporate Sean Young's character (using a similar kind of CGI and real actor blend that was used in Rouge One) from the first movie without her appearing in person (although she is still credited as appearing as Rachael). Like the first movie, it is hard to classify what genre this is. It is a movie that has a lot of action, but it is not really an action movie per-se. It is a mix of action, drama, philosophy, and thought experiment all rolled into one. The acting is top-notch with Gossling doing a great job taking over the leading role, and Ford steps back into the role of Deckard well. It is a worthy follow-up to the first movie and is definitely worth watching.

great 4K disc to test your new tv and 4k player with.

Yeah, better than Dune. I still remember the way the theater rumbled during that first shot of K’s car. Amazing work of art. 10/10

When has a cult classic that failed at the box office gotten a sequel? I can count the times on half a hand. “Blade Runner 2049” banked on that cache unfortunately, while it did well, the cost of the sequel prevented it from becoming a box office winner. In the long term that doesn’t matter though as this direct sequel is a worth follow up to Ridley Scott’s 1982 film. It does have its flaws that Scott’s original release but they aren’t as bad as could have been.Set nearly three decades after the original,film, Replicants are still out there and still on the run. Rather than rely on humans to retire them (and whether or not you believe Scott’s take on the original character of Rick Decars or not doesn’t really come into play), the force that retires them now relies on a Replicant that is less human than human who goes by K (Ryan Gosling).:He gets called into a termination that calls into question whether the most famous pair to escape ‘justice’ Deckard (Harrison Ford) and Rachel (Sean Young ) are still alive. Complicated by the fact that Niander Wallace, who,has bought the troubled Tyrell Corporarion, wants to create Rwplicants who can reproduce and is also looking for the pair, K has his job cut out for him. He also begins to sense what he is missing-the more human than human aspect that informed early Replicants.Directed by Denis Villenvue from a script by Hampton Fancher (who co-wrote the original film) and Michael Greene (based on a story idea by Scott and Fancher), the film is awash with the characteristic production design and photography that made the original film so memorable. While it does run too long by about 20 minutes,,the film is a fitting sequel to the original.The 4k looks exceptional although this is not the IMAX released version but the standard theatrical cut. The impressive production design benefited from the taller presentation of the film. The monochrome look of the film with desaturated colors is intentional. Detail remains exceptional on this digitally shot production.The 4K version wins over the standard blu-ray due to the format itself and presentation. The blu-ray looks fine but all the extras are crammed on the Blu-ray with a film that is well over two and a half hours long. That means that the space for the feature is limited somewhat by the extras (though it should be noted one really would be hard pressed to tell except on the largest possible monitor).The Dolby Atmos mix is rich with detail and puts one smack dab in the environment.The special features are copious with two featurettes, three “prequel” shorts that set up what occurred between the original film and now (and is alluded to in the sequel), and six short featurettes on the universe of the film. These are all located only on the Blu-ray (not 4K) disc.What’s missing is an in depth commentary track.“Blade Runner 2049” turned out to be a worthy sequel to the original film marred by some pacing and length issues. It isn’t a perfect sequel but it does measure up well to the original. It’s a worth while film that focuses as much on character as the built up to the mystery of locating Deckard and Rachel. There are some terrific performances as well in the film and some notable supporting cast members that do an outstanding job in the film. Will you enjoy it? Just go in knowing that the pacing is a slow burn and the film runs a bit too long and you will.Highly recommended.
