MY NETFLIX MOVIE REVIEWS #143

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. Written by Warner Bros. Pictures (Courtesy of Internet Movie Database)

The first BLADE RUNNER has a special place in my heart as it was a film that I not only enjoyed on its own, but remembered studying it in numerous film classes. I enjoyed how it was a futuristic film noir created before its time. So when it came to BLADE RUNNER 2049 my hopes were that they just don’t ruin it by making a sequel that flops. So upon viewing this new story I felt this film still had the haunting, dark and futuristic feel from the first film and continued on to tell a story very much on its own. I would also go on to say the casting come through very well with Ryan Gosling playing a great lead. So for BLADE RUNNER 2049 I give it 4 stars of 5.
