Blade Runner 2049
It’s long.
It’s visually stunning.
It’s not a whiz-bang shoot-em up popcorn movie.
It’s a worthy sequel to the original.
I’m still processing it.
If you liked the original, you should like this one.
It took me a while to figure out how much I loved the original film.
It may take that much time for me to fully process and appreciate this one.
