Jonathan Romney Film Comment Magazine Mar 8, 2018
If every new film made today is to a greater or lesser degree an echo box of past possibilities, what's notable is how much Villeneuve gives those echoes room to breathe and to be new. Go to Full Review
Melissa Anderson 4Columns Oct 30, 2017
In the end, for all its pleasures, it's difficult to view Blade Runner 2049 as anything but an elaborate echo of the original, neither true sequel nor reboot, unclear of its own identity. Go to Full Review
Tim Hayes Sight & Sound Oct 17, 2017
The film dares to be ambiguous, but ambiguity is a bad fit with the current critical mood that art must be prescriptive rather than reflective. Go to Full Review
Christos Tsiolkas The Saturday Paper Aug 19, 2026
It’s important to state from the outset that Blade Runner 2049 keeps faith with the original. There is a real artistry across this production. Unfortunately, it is when it comes to story that Blade Runner 2049 disappoints. Go to Full Review

3.5/4
Is Blade Runner 2049 a masterpiece like its predecessor? Definitely not. It's not even a match for 2016's superb Arrival, the previous film from director Denis Villeneuve. Yet on its own terms, it's a dazzling achievement. Go to Full Review
Brittany Patrice Witherspoon Pop Culture Reviews Jul 11, 2024
5/5
2049 is able to exist both as a masterful sequel and/or stand-alone film in the universe, which showcases Villeneuve’s massive skill as a storyteller and further validates him as one of the best visionaries of our generation. Go to Full Review

Now rewatching it again, this time with popcorn, a Pepsi, and crunch buncha chocolate, man did I have a GREAT TIME!!! Very nostalgic to when I first saw it 9 years ago. Ruthie movie is ART.
