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.

Rick Deckard: Sometimes to love someone, you got to be a stranger.
Trivia: David Bowie was the initial choice to play the villain Wallace, but he sadly passed away before filming began.
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.
