Stunning Steelbook for an Incredible Film
5Picked up the Blade Runner 2049 4K Ultra HD Steelbook from Zavvi and it’s absolutely gorgeous. The artwork is striking, the finish feels premium, and the 4K transfer really does the film justice - it looks incredible. Delivery was quick and the packaging kept everything in perfect condition. A fantastic addition to any collection.

Possibly better than the first
5Set thirty years after the events of the original Blade Runner movie Denis Villeneuve’s sequel is as visually stunning and narratively satisfying as its predecessor. However, unlike the original film replicants, far from being banned from earth, are now integrated into its economy as compliant, productive, placid “skin-job” slaves; apart. that is, from the older Nexus-8 models who are still being hunted by a specialist LAPD detective/assassin; not Harrison Ford’s (is he a replicant?) Deckard but Ryan Gosling’s (he is most definitely a replicant) KD6.3-7, or K for short. The movie opens with the aforementioned K on a seemingly routine hunting trip to “retire” a recently unearthed Nexus-8. However, K makes an unexpected discovery which might potentially threaten the existing delicate balance between replicants and humans. What follows is a masterfully plotted tale which manages to combine a McGuffin mystery with some barely hidden-beneath-the-surface existential explorations. In this way the film both expands and extends its predecessor’s examination into the nature of identity, belonging and our place in the universe. The film also speculates about the inevitable future conflict between humans and their AI android slaves, reminiscent of Spielbergs’ 2001 movie AI and the British SF television series Humans. At around 160 minutes I feel that the length and pacing of the film is appropriate to the challenging themes addressed in the movie, while Roger Deakins’s Oscar-winning cinematography is breath-taking; from the rain-soaked neon decadence of Los Angeles to the surrounding pale-grey misty countryside, from the rust-crusted junkyard of San Diego to the sand-infested Ozymandian necropolis of Las Vegas. Ryan Gosling’s taciturn performance as the Pinocchio-esque android is sublimely affecting, his hopeless melancholy and loneliness reflecting the film’s overall grim fatalistic tone. The interactions between Gosling’s android and his virtual girlfriend Joi (marvellously played by Ana de Armas) are particularly touching, reminding me of Spike Jonze’s gentle 2013SF movie Her. There are also strong performances from Sylvia Hoeks, Robin Wright, Mackenzie Davis and Jared Leto, while Harrison Ford’s depiction of an older and wiser Deckard is particularly noteworthy. In my opinion Villeneuve’s film is a classic SF film and one of the best sequel movies ever made. There are three short films commissioned by the director and available on the extras which are also enjoyable
