Blade Runner 2049

A sequel to a movie made 35 years ago?  The original “Blade Runner” was a detective movie, a film noir and a  science fiction movie rolled into one.  It was visually stunning and thought-provoking with an ending that people still talk about.  If you loved the original (and I did), then you are going to LOVE “Blade Runner 2049”.  Ryan Gosling is at his best as he plays a new blade runner for the LAPD, who unearths a secret that has the potential to start a war between replicants and humans.  This leads him on a quest to find Rick Deckard ,who is reprised by Harrison Ford, a former blade runner, who has been missing for thirty years.  The secret is intriguing and Harrison Ford is spot on as the old blade runner in hiding.  If you didn’t see the first “Blade Runner,” and you are a big action movie person, this movie probably won’t be for you though.  Go see it on the big screen as the special effects are dazzling and the cinematography is amazing.  This is a highly intelligent and cerebral movie, and may or may not be popular at the box office.  However, just like the original, I think it is destined to be a cult classic.
