⚠️ SPOILER ALERT ⚠️
🔴 If you haven't seen Blade Runner 2049, scroll away! 🔴
Just watched Blade Runner 2049 (2017) and I gotta say — I liked it way more than the original. While I wouldn’t bother rewatching the first one, 2049 is totally worth a rewatch. It’s beautifully made, nearly 3 hours long, yet never boring. Masterful pacing, atmosphere, and storytelling.
One of the things I hated about the original was that so-called "sex scene" — more like a rape scene, honestly. It didn’t add anything to the story or deepen the characters. If anything, it just made Harrison Ford come across like more of an asshole. Unpopular opinion maybe, but I felt the same about him in Star Wars too. That whole "pushy guy who doesn’t take no for an answer" trope was in many films back then and it has not aged well. Just makes the character feel obnoxious, not charming.
As for 2049, what hit hardest was the ending — not because it was bad (it wasn’t), but because it was tragic. The robot dies (or at least passes out), and so many people — human and android alike — die just so he can finally meet his daughter. It's sad, man. And kind of frustrating. Selfish assholes seem to get their way in both Blade Runners. In the first one too, I was secretly rooting for the androids rather than that obedient cop.
Still, despite all that — 9/10. Beautifully crafted film. Worth every minute.
