Yes. Yes. Yes. So, I loved Blade Runner and found the concept and ethics of replicants really interesting. With this new film, my enthusiasm has only increased. I love the idea of replicants rebelling and all the consequences of artificial intelligence.

Visually, Blade Runner 2049 is absolutely hypnotic, stunning, scary, beautiful. In 3D it is even more so. Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford work really well together and play their parts marvelously. Jared Leto is creepy and perfect as the self-assigned "god," Watson.

If you liked Blade Runner 1982, you'll like this one. If you never saw it, you will still enjoy this story--it stands alone.
