While I have seen the original Blade Runner (in all three forms), you don't have to have seen it in order to enjoy, or even understand, this one. Great special effects, without being too show-offy and gratuitous. This unpredictability, and requirement that you use your brain, makes for some intriguing viewing. Some clever manipulation of the viewer too, as you are funneled down one way of thinking, only to have things turn out in another direction. Good plot with some great twists and turns. An intriguing and engaging movie, directed by Denis Villeneuve (Prisoners, Incendies, Sicario, Arrival) and co-written by Hampton Francher, who co-wrote the screenplay for the original Blade Runner. Also after it is Niander Wallace, a billionaire whose company makes replicants and whose main interest is in changing the world order. If word gets out that they can, the human-replicant hierarchy will forever be disturbed. Shockingly, the woman died during childbirth and the baby appears to have survived. In his garden are found the remains of a female replicant. One day he tracks down and terminates a replicant that has managed to evade detection and capture for over 28 years. K is himself a replicant, but has been programmed to be beneficial to society. K is a Blade Runner, a policeman who tracks down and terminates replicants (androids) whose model are viewed dangerous to society. It is 2049, 30 years after the events of the previous movie.
