Bladerunner is my second favorite movie after Jaws. I was also worried about the sequel. I saw it twice on opening weekend. I really enjoyed it and I hate to say anything negative about it but I will. The only problem is that it was to clean compared to the lived it universe of the first. Something about Bladerunner and Alien. They both have that look that has never been replicated.
That image of K is a call back to another favorite of mine. Chinatown
Yeah, I was so worried that this would end up as yet another failed sequel; or one that isn't terrible, but offers nothing new and simply carries the previous film's successes on its back. I was definitely surprised, especially after hearing the praise from critics.
