This was not a sequel that needed to be made, and not one people were asking for. Blade Runner is possibly my all-time favorite film. Like most fans, I was terrified it would be shit. Some would-be hack job of a film; a cheap action thriller draped in a veil of nostalgia and loose ties to the original. I was SO ****ing wrong.

It was incredible in nearly all aspects. Villeneuve deserves any and all praise. He strode a razor thin path that managed to leave the original intact and untarnished while creating a fantastic version of his own. I was absolutely blown away by his direction. Going in I prepared myself for heartbreak; coming out I was in love.
