#BLADE RUNNER 2049 REVIEW MOVIE#

But then, this isnвЂ™t really a movie about people, or even about androids that look and act like people. Ford shrugs through a role that doesnвЂ™t really ask that much of him. And a fountain-of-youth version of DeckerdвЂ™s lady love femme fatale Rachael, played by Sean Young in the earlier movie, appears as a spectral temptation.Дeckard, older and, if you can believe it, even crustier, shows up too. There are many obvious little echoes-the origami animals fashioned by Edward James OlmosвЂ™ detective Gaff, for example, make a reappearance.

His eyes are milky orbs that ought to be spooky, except come on, we all know itвЂ™s just Jared Leto with contact lenses.Д«lade Runner 2049 is packed with visual cleverness, and it shows a great deal of affection for the movie that came before it. Her boss is Jared LetoвЂ™s Wallace, a mad guru and android-making artiste whoвЂ™s both sightless and all-seeing.

His quest is complicated by a marble-cool, nicely dressed android brunette named Luv (Dutch actress Sylvia Hoeks), whose futureduds include white sandal booties and a cool asymmetrical coat. ItвЂ™s more as if his identity comes searching for him, beginning with the discovery of a secret grave well past the cityвЂ™s outskirts. K doesnвЂ™t start out searching for his identity. SheвЂ™s prepared a meal of phantom steak frites thatвЂ™s tantalizingly superimposed over his real dinner, a bachelorвЂ™s bowl of drab brown noodles or something. In an early scene, K endures a bone-crushing encounter with one of his targets (gentle giant Dave Bautista, who maximizes just a few slender minutes of screentime), reports back to his no-nonsense, no-makeup-wearing boss ( Robin Wright, groovy in her sternness) and goes home to his hologram wife (Margaret Keane-eyed Ana de Armas), a see-through charmer whoвЂ™s programmed to genuinely care about what kind of day heвЂ™s had. He approaches his job with grim dutifulness. His face is a blank slate with phantom thoughts scribbled on it. But K isnвЂ™t sure of whom, or what, he is. Gosling plays K, an LAPD officer whose job-like that of another, earlier taciturn hero, Harrison FordвЂ™s Rick Deckard, who vanished some 30 years ago-is to find and destroy the manmade humans, or replicants, who threaten the stability of this futureworld human society. At certain points, Blade Runner 2049 has the look and feel of a miracle fabric no one has yet invented-itвЂ™s like translucent velvet.Д«ut the story-so much story! ThereвЂ™s enough story here for three sequels, and not even the capable shoulders of its star, Ryan Gosling, can carry all of it, though he tries. Only this time with additional strata of despair and wistfulness floating on its surface. Shot by Roger Deakins, it echoes the somber, rain-misted Los Angeles that Scott and cinematographer Jordan Cronenweth gave us 35 years ago-including the requisite swooping sky-cars and skyscraper-tall advertising mirages.

WhatвЂ™s more, Blade Runner 2049, like its predecessor, is a handsome-looking picture. Today, so many action movies have a million endings, or near-endings, each one an echo of the infomercial promise вЂњBut wait-thereвЂ™s more!вЂќ There are a million endings in Blade Runner 2049, Denis VilleneuveвЂ™s sequel to Ridley ScottвЂ™s much-loved 1982 future-noir Blade Runner, and some of them are kind of OK.
