Blade Runner 2049

Im such an idiot for putting this movie off for so long

The visuals and tone are peak, this isn’t an action movie and its suppose to be a slow burn film

You can tell who suffers from the rise of short form content just from reading reviews complaining about length and not being able to hold attention which really sucks for ya’ll lmao, also just missing entire world building moments because you couldn’t stay off your phone or wanted the story to be over after an hour, like why are you even on this app and giving reviews if you broke your own attention span through reels and tiktoks 😭

This is no Sigma Male movie, this is nothing but a wast of 2 hours and 43 min. The only thing i can relate is interlinked.. Beyond that Ryan Gosling Films are like a pile of steaming shit.

Blade runner 2049 is rich and mind inducing masterpiece. Carrying on the already popular and visually unique “Blade runner” (1982)

perfect cyberpunk film

Okay, I just have to say that Ryan Gosling was absolutely INCREDIBLE in this movie. Like, an all-time performance. There were so many scenes in the film where very little dialogue was spoken, but there was still so much said, and Gosling was the chief example of that. I honestly had no idea he was such a good actor, but now I can’t wait to watch more stuff with him in it.

And, overall, I thought this movie was just fantastic. The atmopshere created by the amazing cinematography and score created such a lived-in, believable world, and the worldbuilding was on POINT. I’ve never seen the original Blade Runner, but this movie really tells you all you need to know, and so much of that is just through the worldbuilding.

The performances beyond Ryan Gosling were fantastic as well. Harrison Ford had one of the most emotional performances I’ve ever seen out of him, and Ana de Armas was amazing despite a pretty limited role. Even Jared Leto was pretty good, although I still do think there’s a reason he’s typecast for these weird creepy guy roles…

Before watching the film, I saw people discussing the film’s treatment of female characters, and I must agree that it was the one point where the film falters. Almost every female character is portrayed as being very submissive and, while I do think this is an intentional choice to represent the misogynistic nature of the Blade Runner world, it doesn’t feel necessary. It is not difficult to represent misogyny while still having female roles that can stand on their own.

But, overall, I really enjoyed this movie. Gosling was amazing, the cinematography was amazing, and I had a great time.

Like the book, it’s overhyped. But Denis V makes the movie super pretty (minus the nudity.)
