Blade Runner 2049

Blade Runner 2049 is a 2017 science fiction film directed by Denis Villeneuve, a sequel to the 1982 film Blade Runner.

Set thirty years after the original, it follows a blade runner who uncovers a secret threatening what remains of society.

The film is praised for its visual style, philosophical themes about memory and identity, and deliberate pacing: Blade Runner 2049 is nearly three hours but never feels rushed.
