When I first saw this I labeled it as possibly one of the best science fiction movies I had ever seen but to put it into that collection I needed to watch one or two more times. After seeing this movie in theaters twice and buying on blu-ray to watch more, this movie is one of the rare titles I have given a 10 rating to. The special effects alone make other attempts look lazy. The cinematography is some of the finest in any genre and many critics have taken notice. The film is long and quiet(at times) and sometimes unfolds its story with visuals alone which may bore many audience members. I rather enjoy the focus on visuals throughout the movie and hope some movies lean this way more instead of over explaining every concept till 2 year old children can comprehend it. I loved this movies story, cinematography, visual style, special effects, acting, directing, writing, and nearly all other aspects. The biggest aspect i praise this movie for is being a sequel, yes, being a sequel. This is a masterful return to the Blade Runner universe without destroying the image of the original or seeming entirely like a cheap reboot or return for the sole purpose of profit. Instead, this movie creates a worthy new story placed in the same universe many years later and retains the best qualities of the original and builds on many concepts in original and unique ways. I think I've said enough so I'll leave you with this, I have given 4 movies 10 out of 10's and this places amongst those 4.
