For the newest film I went to see in the cinema when it came out was Blade Runner 2049 which is a film I was looking forward to.

First off we have the story which follows K a replicant Blade Runner who finds a long dead replicant who had a child and is tasked with locating it to prevent a war. I thought the story was very entertaining with the way it draws you into the world and how compelling and detailed everything is.

Next we have the characters which overall I thought were excellent with new blade runner, K played by Ryan Gosling who gives a convincing performance as the story unfolds and he finds out more his character grows. Returning Harrison Ford as Deckard made a great impression as soon as he came on screen showing what happened since the last film.

Now we have the action which was thoroughly entertaining and thrilling with the stunts and camerawork adding to them. The standout action scene for me was the final fight as the compactness and the claustrophobic nature of the action scene was done and felt intense. As for the visuals I thought the film was stunning and managed to capture the essence of Blade Runner but managing to put a new and updated twist as a lot has happened between the two films. Moving onto the tone of the movie which was does well at capturing the bleak tone of the original Blade Runner as well as making it slightly darker which in my opinion which was a nice change. I thought the soundtrack of the film was just as good as the previous films one but at times it get a bit loud at times but it didn't bring the overall soundtrack and at times you could hear bits of the music like it was lifted from the original.

Overall I thought this film was amazing and as a sequel to one of the most popular movies of all time it is a deserving one managing to capture the feel as well as updating the world it becomes a must watch film.

I give Blade Runner 2049 a score of 9/10
