Apparently some lucky members of the press (not us unfortunately) got a chance to see Blade Runner 2049. Seems like they were not disappointed, based on their social media reactions, describing the movie as ‘mind blowing’ and a ‘masterpiece.’ As a result, I’ve provided a few snippets from these critics’ Twitters to give you an idea!
.@BladeRunner 2049 is phenomenal. Visually mind-blowing sci-fi w/ noir roots shining through in a tight, twisty mystery. Best of 2017 so far pic.twitter.com/kT4ZzWWlOQ

Everyone bow down to Denis Villeneuve. He’s done the impossible and delivered a huge home run with ‘Blade Runner 2049’. Loved it. pic.twitter.com/fjhAJgnwqT

Most noteworthy is the impressive CGI mentioned in each review. . Furthermore, all the reviews agree on the film’s excellent pacing. Consequently, the film will probably prove just as effective a thriller as a sci-fi. Especially relevant is the mentions of mystery as a large plot focus. Based on this, I’m assuming the plot will be closer to a detective story. Notably, the review makes little mention of Ford and Gosling. However, I’m confident that the two leads leave a big impression. For those who don’t know, the film’s description is as follows.
Thirty years after the events of the first film, a new blade runner, LAPD Officer K (Ryan Gosling), unearths a long-buried secret that has the potential to plunge what’s left of society into chaos. K’s discovery leads him on a quest to find Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), a former LAPD blade runner who has been missing for 30 years.
In any case, these reviews have got me super excited for the upcoming film. The Denis Villeneuve film will release on October 7th, so we won’t need to wait much longer!
