1) My friend said he'd rather watch Fant4stic again over watching Blade Runner 2049 again 2) He got hit by a bus and into a building 3) I lost my bus license and got a fine for property damage

This movie's sound design is orgasmic.

Dave Batista was really good in this movie. He should be given more roles where he actually acts.

Directed by Denis Villeneuve, photographed by Roger Deakins, scored by Hans Zimmer AND starring Ryan Gosling. How was this movie NOT gonna be an instant classic?!

I was sold the moment I heard this was basically a 200 million dollar art house film

It is a long film - slow on purpose, it wants the viewer to soak in the feeling. BUT it is not for everyone. Won't be a commercial hit but will be one of those films that will influence other film makers.

Thank God it won cinematography Oscar for Roger deakins. But it deserved award for best film and director. Denis villnevue is such a great director.

If 2049 was this good, imagine what his version of Dune is gonna be like. Jesus christ.

The Revenant and The Hateful Eight were each just as long as this movie, and The Wolf of Wall Street was even longer, and audiences liked them, so I don't think the length will put them off. More often, people get annoyed at really short movies because they feel they didn't get their moneys-worth.

Sh*t, I know I'm 3 years late, but what a heck of a film. It pisses me off that it didn't make money. We need more of this...

Damn....A+? I haven't seen an A+ review in a long time.

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I prefer this movie way more than the first one. And also Harrison Ford’s performance in this movie was amazing.

And the mystery of Chris' thumbnail expressions continues.

All these reviews will be lost, in time, like tears in rain...

This film absolutely blew me away ......it's a cinematic masterpiece.

Who's watching this in 2019 knowing he hasn't given another new release an A+ yet

I have never sat through an almost 3 hour movie so entranced and in sheer awe at not only what I was watching visually, but also where the plot was going to take us next. There were absolutely no boring parts, because visually, the movie keeps you engaged. This is a masterpiece...just like it's original.

I just watched Blade Runner 2049. I left the theater with a pounding in my chest. The film is awesome and the score is breathtaking! That is how to make a movie. 5 stars!

Troughout the years I have noticed this movie growing on me. It was released when I was a 17 year old monkey, thinking avengers is the peak of cinema. This movie just lasts and lasts and ages like fine cognac. I think this will be the movie I want to watch last, before it all ends. Absolute masterpiece.

Blade runner 2049 is one of the most beautiful film's I ever seen.

I'm rewatching this review to say this: I'm still in high school, with the dream of becoming a film director one day. I'm working hard towards that, but it is all a process. I don't have a lot of money to go to the theater, and when I do I want to watch something good. I begged my dad to take me to the best theater in my country to watch Blade Runner 2049 for my birthday after watching this review. When the movie was starting up, I got nervous. What if it isn't amazing? What if I don't like it? What if it neither inspires me or fills me with the fear of never being able make something that lives up to it? What will thay say about me, both as a person and a film lover? Suffice to say, I loved every second of it. See, I've always had trouble defining what my favorite movie was. I could never place my finger on any which movie, and I've seen many a masterpiece. Every second of this movie evokes a feeling of awe and joy in the art of film making, something that no other film has done before for me. This movie both inspired and frightened me. I'm more deadset than ever to be a film maker, but at the same time I fear I'll never make something this good. All in all, I'd say Blade Runner 2049 is my favorite movie of all time.

Going on a first date tomorrow. Dinner then Blade Runner 2049. If she doesn't like it then I know the relationship is doomed.

Roger Deakins was nominated for an Academy Award MANY times over the years, beginning in ▫️1994 The Shawshank Redemption ▫️1996 Fargo ▫️1997 Kundun ▫️2000 O Brother, Where art Thou? ▫️2001 The Man Who Wasn't There ▫️2007 No Country for Old Men ▫️2007 The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford ▫️2008 The Reader ▫️2010 True Grit ▫️2012 Skyfall ▫️2013 Prisoners ▫️2014 Unbroken ▫️2015 Sicario Sadly, because the Academy SUCKS, he hasn't actually won an Oscar until; ▫️2017 Blade Runner 2049 ▫️2019 1917

Blade Runner 2049 restored my faith in sequels. Agreed on the cinematography, and the music was also perfect. Sounded a lot like the original Blade Runner soundtrack and fit every scene in this movie beautifully. I, actually don't think any time I watch this movie from now, I'll be any less excited than when I first watched it.

I came out of the theatre blown away, it really makes me sad that it didn’t make a lot of money its opening weekend and I feel that the movie needed to be rewarded for how fucking amazing it was

A sequel of an 80s film classic that is good?????? Pinch me I'm dreaming

This is one of those VERY rare movies that I pretty much refuse to watch on a small screen. It was such an amazing and overwhelming cinematic experience (I saw it three times), that I only want to see it again in a theater, with a huge screen, and big sound. Amazing.

This makes me stoked for "Dune" 2020.

Just watched the movie. For me it's a new classic. Amazing movie.

Anyone else think that all the posters for this movie look really weird? Like everyone's in some kind of cool sci-fi future outfit, and then there's Harrison ford who's just wearing a normal-ass shirt.

I only just watched this film. I hate most sequels to masterpieces so I didn't even pay attention when this came out, let alone read any reviews, as the original Bladerunner is one of my top 5 films of all time and I refuse to let anything dirty its name. Damn I wish I wouldn have paid attention when it was out in theaters. It's amazing even on my little laptop screen, definitely on par with the original.

This movie was absolutely haunting, beautiful and rather sad. The sound design and music was exceptional. I can't get over it. It's now my favorite film of all time. Which I never had before

Just got back from the cinema - so now I could watch the review. I agree on every single point. Amazeballs. And I'd like to add: For an old guy, who watched the original, in the cinema, back in 1982 (I was 13 then), this had a deeper added feeling, that I never expected. It felt like I was back. Back in a dark, depressing, bleak Los Angeles, that I had visited before. Because - just as in the original - the attention to detail was again so mind numbingly brilliant, and the scenes allowed to be so long - that I was once again pulled in. For some 2 hours and 43 minutes - I was there. In this dystopian mega city, where tacky neon signs of overblown proportions try to lure you in. I haven't had that feeling of being transported somewhere else, while watching a movie for a long long time. Not since 1982.

2049 is the hollywood Ghost in the Shell movie we all deserved.

I love this movie so much that I just sometimes watch this review to be happy

I’m gonna say it. This is one of the greatest movies of all time. Best movie of the decade 100%.

Denis villeneuve is such an amazing director makes serious movies for once that are just masterpieces. One of the best today

Glad to see Dave Batista getting good roles

One of the best films I have ever seen.

This is storytelling as it was in the 70’s with epics like The Godfather, it will reward with multiple viewings, the pace isn’t a retina scorching flurry of rapid cuts, but slowly unfolds without being spoon fed. Awesome

I shouldn't have to say it but: Its a movie made for adults. Which of late, sci-fi has been for preteens.

To people saying this movie is overlong and slow, have you ever seen The Godfather? That movie is a masterpiece right? Well guess what. That movie has a runtime of 2 hours 58 minutes. Blade runner 2049 has a runtime of 2 hours 44 minutes. Godfather is considered a masterpiece by everyone including me. And now people are saying blade runner 2049 is bad because it's long and drawn out. It really tells you something about today's moviegoers doesn't it.

10/10 This is and will always be the most beautiful movie on this planet

Who’s excited for Dune?! 🙋🏻‍♂️

He is ready. We need Dune.

Just finished watching this film. A true masterpiece!

interesting fact : Niander Wallace, Jared Leto's character, was supposed to be played by David Bowie who unfortunately died before the making of the movie began

It's criminal that this film did so badly in the box office. Very suprising how much it lost the studio. One of those films where I tell myself, thank god I'm alive to see a masterpiece like this! When a film like this and edge of tomorrow does so badly, we get robbed of some great sci fi movies as no studios will touch them.

Villeneuve = Genius

This movie is so overwhelmingly good. I don't think I've really watched many better movies. I can't get over it.

One of the best I have seen, and I’m no spring chicken, crossing all genres including landmarks like Ben Hur (1959), Titanic, Casablanca, 2001, Inherit the Wind (not Gone with), Amadeus, Saving Private Ryan - the list is not long. Blade Runner 2049, for the mature of all ages, is immersive, moving and stunning both visually and aurally and indeed it stands on its own, albeit the impetus for me was the original Blade Runner, making it the perfect sequel - as well. Purchased the movie in 3d to match my theatre viewing experience...and on my fifth home viewing....still incredible! The speculative, marketing inspired demise of 3d in North America is undoubtedly and assuredly premature. 3d format or otherwise the movie remains a masterpiece. It should be the Oscar pick for best movie of 2017, and the cast including Ryan Gosling, Harrison Ford, Ana de Armas and others nominated in respective roles. Consummate actors all, not to mention Denis Villeneuve as Best Director. Thank Ridley Scott for recognizing his genius. The reality is that Science Fiction, even as a statement on the human condition, has never won an Oscar for Best Movie, as far as I know. The Academy Awards will likely miss this, caught up in the social media swamp and the cause of the day. The Academy will likely instead vote for an odd duck or more common place take on the triumphs and tribulations of the human condition, all destined to become mediocrities and also rans for 2017. This in turn, as it continues to demonstrate, makes Oscar night nothing more than a gossips’ social gathering and more redundant and meaningless than ever in what it’s function should be - rewarding real achievement in film. Meanwhile like the first Blade Runner, Blade Runner 2049 will continue to attract an ever growing following and challenge current and future movie makers to raise the bar on what is now possible.

A movie review I can absolutely agree with Chris Stuckmann on.

The great filmmakers of our time are: Christopher Nolan, Denis Villeneuve, Alejandro González Iñárritu, David Fincher, Alfonso Cuarón, Edgar Wright, Quentin Tarantino, Martin Scorsese (yes he's old, but he is still making great films today), and Damien Chazelle.

Thank you for saying all the things that I thought (and probably more)! I hope that you'll be heard, and more films like this will be made in the future.

people who say this movie is boring, maybe they watched it in 144p resolution :)

This movie is so impressive. Such a gorgeous masterpiece. Every time that I revisit I still shocked about the quality.

So Chris, where's your reviews for the other 2047 movies in the Blade Runner franchise?

Can't wait until Dennis does the Dune remake in a few years

I’ll admit it: I cried SO HARD when the end credits rolled. This movie....HIT me.

I think one of the greatest mistakes of my life was NOT watching it in a movie theater ._.

Just saw the film and have to agree. The best thing I can say is that I want to see it again, I want the visuals and sounds to wash over me again as I catch things I missed on first viewing. This is the 19th film I've seen in theatres this year and it's the best one I've watched. I'll be shocked (and spoiled) if I see something better.

This movie is better than The Last Jedi

A cinematic masterpiece. Nuff said.

Chris, I want to just take a second to thank you for pouring your heart and soul into these videos. I watch all of them. Your passion is contagious. Your love of movies mirrors my love of photography, and your excitement about the craft is amazing. You tell a great story in your videos. Please please please keep making more.

Man, so fucking excited for Blade Runner 2049, the first one still is one of my favorite films of all-time, and Denis Villeneuve just can't make a bad movie. Similar to Christopher Nolan, even his worst movie is still REALLY good. All these new upcoming masters like Christopher Nolan, Denis Villeneuve, Damien Chazelle, Alejandro G. Inarritu, Edgar Wright etc. I can't WAIT for what comes next!

The most beautiful movie I have seen in cinema since MAD MAX FURY ROAD. Loved this and saw it in IMAX. My god. Worth the wait. Visually stunning.

I saw it in the theater and thought is was just ok. Rewatched it on video and I am really starting to fall in love with the movie. Sometimes with movies your first impressions aren't always good ones.

When the movie ended, I realised I could watch two more hours of it. It was marvelous.

The key to not being bored of this movie. You have to be engaged. You have to want to go on this journey with the characters. It’s not about the destination it’s about the experience.

Denis Villeneuve is the sole reason why I want to be a filmmaker

Can't wait for Dune

Had to go back to this review because I rewatched Blade runner 2049 the other day for the second time. It just gets better with every viewing. The sound in is out of this world. The images composed are insane. This is a movie I will come back to time and time again because this is how you do a sequel right. Just amazing

General audiences are going to hate this film. Which is exactly why I love it. It's mindfuckingly gorgeous, especially on Imax.

I loved it beyond words. Agent K's final moments reminded me so much of Rutger Hauer's speech on the roof; except there was no need to say a word. It was powerful. When Deckard asked him "What am I to you?" and K only smiled sadly, I was choked up. Tears in the rain...or in the snow.

I just re watched this for the second time and liked it even more this time. The overall story and message with these movies are amazing

i started liking movies a hell of a lot more and in a serious way over the last few years, and it's because of how truly amazing it is to transport someone into a world be it realistic or deliberately out the box, and after watching this movie, i thought to myself, i generally want to go out and make movies for a living

i try to never judge a person based on there taste in film. But if you thought this masterpiece was boring, then the problem lies with you and your not my kind of person

Had a couple of dumb teenagers that thought it was going to be an action movie in the cinema... They left after 15 minutes. Some fat lady next to me fell asleap as well. Anyway, MY GOD WHAT AN AMAZING MOVIE

Criminally underrated movie 🔥

Blade runner 2049 is without a doubt in my top 5 films ever. I've never seen so much beauty on screen than when I watched this in the cinema for the first time, everything about it is so captivating. Especially the score! My god I've listened to that score on repeat since the moment I came out of the cinema. This movie will always hold a very special place in my heart.

When I first learn about the runtime for this film, I was like "Seriously, 160 minutes?". After watching it though, I realize that this movie will not work if they shorten the run time or hasten the plot.

Denis and Gosling are two artists at the top of their game. Can't wait to see this film.

"Harrison Ford gives one of his best performances in years". Likely because he was finally given a script and a story worth putting in the effort. Something with some substance and meaning that made him actually want to act and bring that character to life and not just cash in a huge paycheck in order to finally kill off a character he is tired of playing. Not play this character again so we can cash in on the nostalgia for it but so that the story can be explored and expanded. This film instantly became one of my all time favorites after my first viewing.

The cinematography won the Oscar.

I just watched this movie and I LOVED it. I left the theater speechless. I was silent and thinking about it for an hour.

All those comments, will be lost in time like... tears in rain.

This movie is an incredibly beautiful and intelligent work of art. I tell people about it every chance I get. It's hypnotic. It's sad. It's spellbinding. I also love loved every frame of this movie.

Denis is a Sci-Fi master. Can’t wait for Dune Part 2.

A truly amazing breathtaking movie and it kills me that it bombed so badly, but I feel it'll be that cult classic in the coming years like the first

This film reminded me of Interstellar where I saw so much ambition and care put into what was an epic film and yet people are disappointed. I know it's subjective and if we all liked the same ish the world would be boring, but I truly just can't grasp the idea of not liking these films or at least appreciating them.

Blade Runner 2049 is pure atmosphere and visual perfection. Throughout the entire movie, even during the intense action scenes, you can't help but feel like your in a dream. That's why I love this movie, it's so cinematically immersive.

Well done Chris,,,perfect review....love your work!

The fact this movie is bombing in the box office is an absolute travesty. This film is a goddamn masterpiece.

1:02 OMG I had a sigh of relief when you said that! I'm sooo looking forward to seeing this film that I was waiting to hear your review on it. Okay now I'm ready.

My dad would always play Sci-fi movies like Aliens, The Fifth Element, and The chronicles of Riddick. Those were his movies... those were the movies that were always on with him and I would sit and watch them with him and I would love them. I can say THIS, Bladerunner 2049 is MY Sci-fi movie that will always be on when my son gets older.

How bananas are you that DV is going to make a Dune film?

My god my theatre dissapointed, there wasn't a single poster, they played it on the smallest fucking screen and to top it all off I was the only one there! I beg you, if you love sci-fi, film, brilliant cinematography then SEE IT, it isn't a film it's an event. This is the new T2: Judgement Day all it needs is the audience so please do yourself a favour and watch Blade Runner 2049!

Guys, for the sake of good film making, please go watch it in a theatre right now. It will be sad if this movie is not a huge financial hit.

Dune, the spice must flow dec 18th 2020, I haven't been so excited for a film since LOTR Fellowship.... Im so old lol Blade Runner 2049 was the best film of this decade by far, it's just beautiful!!!

Agree with your take 100% Chris, when I saw 2049, I was absolutely blown away. I love the run time, I prefer longer films. This is a phenomenal sequel, and quite possibly the BEST looking film I’ve ever seen. One of those rare films where every actors’ performances are great and I can easily watch this movie over and over again and never get sick of it!
