Blade Runner 2049 is a fantastic movie, and a worthy sequel to the original Blade Runner. The movie is masterfully directed and written and has an engaging storyline. Ryan Gosling gives a great performance as the main character K and I am always invested in his character. The movie manages to include a plethora of well rounded supporting characters that are compelling as well.
Clearly every single person involved in the production of this movie, whether it was the cast or crew, has put 10/10 effort into this movie. The movie has an excellent use of cinematography, production design and visual effects, all of which come together perfectly to create the futuristic setting; it perfectly recaptures the setting of the original whilst also understanding how it would appear 30 years later. But what I appreciated the most was the attention to detail put into each solitary frame. I could see far off into the distance and it all looked and felt real.
The 2 hour 43 minute runtime may bother some, but when the movie has an engaging storyline, compelling characters and immersive and visually stunning setting, it never became a problem, not even for a moment.
Continuity mistake: When Ryan Gosling is talking to Harrison Ford not long after meeting up, Harrison Ford is wearing a grey T-shirt which has sweat stains around the neck. The sweat stains frequently grow, shrink and change shape between shots. (01:51:45)
File Clerk: Everyone remembers where they were at the blackout. You?
K: That was a little before my time.
File Clerk: I was home with my folks. Then ten days of darkness. Every machine stopped cold. When the lights came back, we were wiped clean. Photos, files, every bit of data. Gone. Bank records, too. Didn't mind that. It's funny only paper lasted. I mean, we had everything on drives. Everything, everything, everything. My mom still cries over the lost baby pictures.
K: Well, it's a shame. You must have been adorable.
Trivia: Jared Leto asked to wear opaque contact lenses in order to play the blind Niander Wallace. He wanted to lose his ability to see to get into character.
Question: Why did Niander Wallace kill the female replicant right after creating her? I get that he's crazy, but was there any other reason?
Answer: He was being violently petulant at the moment, angry that he couldn't create and control the birth that he just learned occurred with older-model replicants and seeing his new creation as "flawed" by design. Pretty villainous, he cares nothing for the replicants.

Answer: Think of any manufacturing process. Samples of new products are frequently created and then immediately destroyed. Also, the new replicant would require processing, training, etc. It was simpler for him to just dispose of the test.
