Early reactions are here! See what Critics are saying about Blade Runner 2049

Blade Runner 2049 is the long-awaited sequel to Ridley Scott’s Science Fiction cult classic Blade Runner. The film has been one of the most buzzed-about films of 2017 and with only a week and a half to go before the film’s official release, the early reactions are officially in.

Here are some of the early reactions to the film including my own:

#BladeRunner2049 is a rare sequel that actually improves on the original. Great Performances & Visually Breathtaking. Villeneuve nails it.

I revisited #BladeRunner and watched #BladeRunner2049 on the same day. I honestly believe that #BladeRunner2049 is better than the original.

#BladeRunner2049 is made for film lovers and sci-fi fanatics. Villeneuve plays tribute to the original while also making this film his own.

I’ve seen #BladeRunner2049 and really enjoyed it. It’s GORGEOUS, marinating in its heady concepts. Sylvia Hoeks is a scene stealer. pic.twitter.com/glD4JFDHR6

#BladeRunner2049 was one of the most mind-blowing films I’ve seen. It’s breathtaking and transportive. Denis Villeneuve has a masterpiece.

I saw #BladeRunner2049 and it is BREATHTAKING. It’s an impressive follow-up, preserving mysteries, adding new ones, expanding the universe.

#BladeRunner2049 is nearly 3 hours and kept me entranced, tense, and engaged the entire time. That speaks volumes. The time flew by.

BLADE RUNNER 2049: The thrill of mood and extensional joys of self-reflection. Villeneuve’s slow-burn obsessions have never felt more SEEN.

BLADE RUNNER 2049 is sci-fi masterpiece; the kind of deep-cut genre film we don’t see anymore. Visually mind blowing, absolutely fantastic pic.twitter.com/A1d6ohmj3s

I’ve seen #BladeRunner2049 and it’s my pleasure to say I loved #BladeRunner2049. Long and slow – in a very good way. A lot to think about. pic.twitter.com/LIjnyylp7t

My #BladeRunner2049 reaction: visually stunning, well acted, but meandering story, half realized ideas, & sigh, #Asian backdrop w/ no Asians pic.twitter.com/8tqBZNNz2E
