Thirty years after the events of the first film, a new blade runner, LAPD Officer K (Ryan Gosling), unearths a long-buried secret that has the potential to plunge what’s left of society into chaos. K’s discovery leads him on a quest to find Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), a former LAPD blade runner who has been missing for 30 years.
Movie Review : Blade Runner 2049 looks both futuristic and familiar; a return to the vision first presented by director Ridley Scott decades ago. What helped 1982’s Blade Runner achieve cinematic immortality was the existential quandary at the heart of screenwriter Hampton Fancher’s tale. Original star Harrison Ford said little, but spoke volumes, as Deckard: the grizzled detective afraid of where the mystery would lead him. This new sequel builds on that foundation with a new quest investigating dead replicants, false memories and our very idea of what is real. Blade Runner 2049 is an intelligent iteration, 35 years in the making. By CBC News
