Mark was almost on the verge of tears by the end. This is what happens when a movie is made by someone who is as big of a fan of the source material as you are.
-
it's nearly 3 hours long and to be honest ... it could have been another 3 hours long for all i cared. loved it. could people please go to see it because if it bombs as much as it looks like it's going to they won't make whatever they had in mind for future projects. we need movies like this. it's amazing
-
Mark Kermode reviews properly. No spoilers. We need more of this style.
-
This is a really great spoiler free review. I completely agree with his feelings toward this movie as it relates to the original.
-
Me and the wife have just come back from seeing it. At the start, she asked where the black guy was. It took me a few seconds to realise she thought she was going to see Wesley Snipes in a new 'Blade' movie. I had to spend the adverts getting her up to speed with the original... For my part..wow. Mind. Blown.

CELLS.

This is my favorite movie of all time. I love the part where K looks up at the hologram of joi and realizes she was a lie. Incredible scene. Incredible movie.
-
Nailed it. Every word. Great work, Mark.
-
Am I the only one that nearly shed a tear towards the end when that original Vangelis score came out. It's a work of art that is underappreciated and misunderstood. It's a film of a different era for a different mentality. It's unique.
-
He summed up exactly how I feel about the movie. His emotional response to it was exactly how I felt the first time I saw it. The sheer sense of relief I felt when I realised how truly amazing 2049 is was unforgettable.
-
Incredible sequel. Expands the universe and deals with more complex themes. Also one of the most beautiful films of all time. 10/10
-
I love the passionate way Mark Kermode talks about it, and I share it.
-
Saw it last night, it's so rich I'm still digesting it 24 hours later. See it in large format.
-
Man, what a GREAT movie.. I just loved how they handled the "Deckard enigma" in such a way that it actually elevated it! Damn you, Denis. What a great piece of cinema...
-
Oh, Canada. Denis Villeneuve is Canadian. Ryan Gosling is Canadian. IMAX is Canadian. You're welcome.

Saw the film yesterday, and Mark's review was totally accurate. As for the "slow pace", 21st Century audiences should be reminded that many of the greatest films were long cinematic treats. "Apocalypse Now", "Once Upon A Time In America", "The Shawshank Redemption", "The Godfather 2" etc are long, but also brilliant. The minutes (for me) flew by. For once, it is a sequel that matches the original. In time. it may even surpass it.
-
The first viewing was mind blowing. Like Mark and everyone else who loves Blade Runner 2019, I was nervous. Second viewing, the emotional impact blew me away.The detail, the clues, the beauty, Nabokov! While it's still on the big screen, husband and I are going to see it for a third time. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. 10/10
-
I'm with every point made by Mark in this review, and not ashamed to say I had a lump in the throat and a tear in my eye at the exact point I believe Mark is referring to when he felt like weeping. I have vowed to to go watch it again as I was trying to take it all in last night and left the cinema feeling drained. An absolute masterpiece 10/10.
-
Haven't seen a lot of other people saying this so I may be on my own but Blade Runner 2049 is one of my favourite films of all time. The more I dig into it the more I love it.

I just saw it here in Copenhagen Denmark at a matenee, so it was sparsely attended, of course, maybe only 25 folks at about lunch time and let me tell you, everyone sat and applauded as the film ended.
