Blade Runner 2049

Directed by Denis Villeneuve2h 44m2017

Thirty years after the events of the first film, a new blade runner, LAPD Officer K, 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, a former LAPD blade runner who has been missing for 30 years.

Our read: Blade Runner 2049 (2017) reads as a sombre, measured, inventive sci-fi entry — measured in intensity, epic-stakes in scope, cold in temperature, ambivalent in outlook, with a strong directorial signature.
