Best looking movie I’ve ever seen in 4k
This is one of the most beautiful and detailed film I’ve ever seen on 4k. No grain at all it feels very real. The HDR also looks great, the colours are beautiful and vivid. However the best part of the movie (besides it’s amazing story) might be the sound!! The bass shakes everything around me, Dolby atmos is also great especially in the first few scenes of the movie. It’s definitely a demo disc to show to your family and friends if you wanna impress them with your setup haha. The story is amazing just like the first, it’s a great sequel. FYI I am watching on a NeoQled tv with a Q800b soundbar and rear speakers

    Blade Runner 2049 on Blu-ray is an absolute marvel and a must-have for any movie enthusiast's collection. This cinematic masterpiece truly captures the essence of its iconic predecessor and takes the viewer on a breathtaking journey through a futuristic world like no other.

The narrative unfolds at a deliberate pace, allowing the characters to develop naturally and drawing the audience deeper into the film's intricate web of mystery and emotion.

    The performances in Blade Runner 2049 are nothing short of stellar. Ryan Gosling brings a compelling presence to his role as Officer K, displaying a perfect balance of vulnerability and strength.

Additionally, the bonus features provide valuable insights into the film's production, allowing fans to gain a deeper appreciation for the creative process behind this cinematic gem.

    In conclusion, Blade Runner 2049 on Blu-ray is an unforgettable cinematic experience that pushes the boundaries of science fiction storytelling. With its stunning visuals, compelling storyline, and outstanding performances, this film is a testament to the power of cinema at its finest. If you're a fan of thought-provoking, visually stunning films, this Blu-ray deserves a prominent place in your collection and getting it in blue ray also lets you hear all the subtle audio that seems to be missing from streaming versions of the movie.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Near Perfect 3D Adaptation for a True Masterpiece
    Reviewed in Canada on January 30, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    I loved this movie when I saw it in Imax. I was worried the post 3D adaption would not transfer well. But, It actually turned out Amazingly well. Most scenes in 3D are stunning, and it makes me wish it was that way when it was released in theaters. There are only a couple scenes where the 3D is not noticeable but that is ok since 95% of the scenes including all the wide angle shots do pull you into the world even more so in 3D. Wallace's pool room is actually one of the most noticeable differences, as in 2D it seems like the walls are vertical, but in 3D you can tell the walls are slanted as if you are inside a pyramid. The close ups of faces are probably the most impressive as the shape of faces really stand out and look real. They do not look like cardboard cutouts (how did they do that from originally 2D shots is just the magic of movie making I guess). When the actors evoke extreme emotions that counter their normally calm states, it is truly gripping to see their portrayals of these replicants transform into something more human. If you love Blade Runner, and enjoy 3D this is one that needs to be in your collection. It is truly impressive that they managed to adapt this to 3D without it looking hokey. And if you have a good sound system, the audio mixing is great in surround sound. The music is ethereal and haunting at times, yet sublime. This movie is a true masterpiece, and I only wish it did better commercially so that we could have more movies that are not just about superheroes and explosions when it comes to sci-fi.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A great complimentary sequell to the sci-fi masterpiece!
    Reviewed in Canada on September 7, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    First of all the reason for taking 1 star off my rating was because even though i find this is probably the best sequel that could have been made to the original movie (I honestly am not sure if something better could have been made considering how hard it was in the first place to make a sequel to such a unique movie as Blade Runner) I dont find the sequel as good as the first movie.First lets get all the good things with the movie up front.Denis villeneuve is one of the best new directors of our time and considering he is a canadian its flatering to us from this Country.Denis Villeneuve loves making movies its obvious.He puts a lot of attention into details like all the great directors like James Cameron,Steven Spielberg and Ridley Scott who directed the original Blade Runner.First great thing about this sequel is that it matches the original movie in terms of atmosphere.The sequel has a slow kind of pace similar to the original and the same type of atmosphere.In fact i believe this is why even though the sequel is highly regarded by fans and critics and hailed as another masterpiece and all just like the original movie it failed at the box office when it came out.The reason is simple.For thoses like me who was expecting the sequel to maybe have a more modern aproach in its story telling and pace are gonna be dissapointed cause a rare thing in hollywood is that the sequel goes for making a sequel that is almost a carbon copy of the original in its pacing and way the story is told.Most sequels to an old movie theses days would approach it in a new more modern way and add in lots of flashy action scenes just to not bore the new modern audience but Blade Runner 2049 doesn't do that.In fact it feels less a thriller i find than the original movie.The original movie had Rutger hauer's Character of Roy Batty and all the other replicants being a menace running around and having Harrison Ford's character chasing around the foggy city trying to find them.The original plot of the first movie contained more sustain suspense in some way because you knew that all theses replicants where dangerous killers ready to strike as soon as someone would find them or stop them from theyre purpose or mission.Everytime that Roy Batty,Priss,Zora or Leon was on screen you felt the suspense.But in the sequel yes there is one dangerous replicant in the form of Dave Bautista but he is killed pretty early on and Jared letto and a female associate of his but you dont see them all that often.And most of the plot of the sequel isnt too suspensfull i find.I also didnt like the subplot with K(Ryan Goslin) and his hollogram girlfriend.I thought it was just an excuse to show off the beautifull actress of the day that Hollywood used in a lot of new movies including 'James Bond no time to die'.But in terms of a sequel that fits well with the original movie you can't ask for better.Denis Villeneuve pays great homage to the feel,atmosphere and look of the original movie without looking like an 80's movie.In fact Blade Runner 2049 does the impossible.It looks like a modern movie of today but also fits perfectly as the sequel to the classic.The sets look amazing.The fx are good.The music by Hanz zimmer is not as good as the Vangelis score of the first movie.It could never have been.The Vangelis score is just too amazing and unique.Hanz zimmer tries his best to make something a bit similar but more modern sounding.In doing so he makes a score that is more forgetfull than Vangelis.There are some parts that are really good but other parts you just forget like its generic typical movie music.Its nice to have Harrison Ford back in here.Now for the extras its too bad that a huge movie like this don't have a huge making of documentary on the disc.It would have deserved the full extras treatment.The picture and sound quality on the bluray is reference quality.the atmost sound especially is very bassy and wow! I can't comment on the 4k disc cause i dont have a player.But the bluray looks good enough for thoses who wants to buy this combo until they upgrade to 4k.

    5.0 out of 5 stars „Weil Ihr noch nie ein Wunder gesehen habt!“
    Reviewed in Germany on June 17, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    Diese Worte des Replikanten Sapper Morton gleich am Anfang des Films möchte ich auch jenen zurufen, die dieses schlichtweg überwältigende Sequel zum Kultfilm „Blade Runner“ mit substanzlosen Rezensionen abwerten, die eher Kommentare darstellen. Es ist wohl vor allem das Dilemma unserer wohlstandssatten und reizübersättigten „Generation Klingelton“, das sich hier manifestiert: der dauerhafte Konsum von „Medien-Fast-Food“, die Folgen der Reduktion auf flatterhafte Hashtags und Belanglosigkeiten kurzer und damit inhaltsleerer „Zwitscher“-Nachrichten und die damit verbundene wachsende Unfähigkeit, Dargebotenes zu rezipieren und zu reflektieren, etwas, das einem auch mal etwas abfordert – nämlich Geduld und das sich Einlassen, ja Fallenlassen in eine andere Welt, die sich für die Dauer von einigen Stunden auf der Leinwand (oder in einem guten Buch) eröffnet.

    Film-“Wunder“ wie Amadeus, Der Club der toten Dichter, Schindlers Liste, Der englische Patient, Forrest Gump, Cloud Atlas oder auch der zum Kultfilm avancierte Blade Runner (1982) – um nur einige wenige aus dem riesigen Fundus zu nennen – ermuntern dazu, sich mit grundsätzlichen Fragen unseres menschlichen Daseins zu beschäftigen. Und das ohne Pathos und zum Glück oft ohne fertige Antworten oder gar zementierten Dogmen. Ein ganz neues dieser Wunder ist für mich „Blade Runner 2049“. Das möchte ich im Folgenden begründen, auch um die entstandene Schieflage in den Kundenbewertungen hier wieder ein klein wenig korrigieren zu helfen. Am Schluss meiner Rezension ist dann auch noch eine Bewertung der technischen Aspekte der BluRay zu finden. Wen lediglich diese interessieren, der kann das Folgende gern überspringen.

    „Menschlicher als der Mensch“

    Ich habe den „Blade Runner“ mehr als dreißig Mal gesehen, bevor ich dann vor zehn Jahren damit aufgehört habe, weiterzuzählen. Das Original aus dem Jahr 1982 hat mich schon beim ersten Anschauen gefesselt – in seiner optischen Wucht, seiner langsamen und dabei intensiven Erzählweise und mit Zukunftsvisionen, die ihrer Zeit damals weit voraus waren (was sicher auch an der viel früher entstandenen literarischen Vorlage von Philipp K. Dick gelegen haben mag). Der Mensch hat sich in dieser Zukunft künstliche Sklaven („Replikanten“) geschaffen, die ihm verblüffend ähneln, zwecks besserer Kontrollierbarkeit über implantierte „Erinnerungen“ verfügen und ohne zu murren fern von der Erde die gefährlichsten und schmutzigsten Aufgaben erledigen. Bis, ja bis diese „intelligenten Maschinen“, deren Schöpfer Eldon Tyrell sie „menschlicher als der Mensch“ gestalten will, ihre Existenz zu hinterfragen beginnen. Ein Thema also, das ähnlich schon aus dem Klassiker „2001 – Odyssee im Weltraum“ (oder seiner Parodie „Dark Star“) vertraut ist.

    „Wir werden sterben, weil wir dumm sind!“

    All jene, die mit dem letztgenannten Meilenstein der Kino-Geschichte und auch mit dem „Blade Runner“ von 1982 nicht vertraut sind, sollten wissen, dass sie möglicherweise Enttäuschungen riskieren, wenn sie derart unvorbereitet auf das in meinen Augen mehr als gelungene Sequel „Blade Runner 2049“ treffen. Und so wie die Replikantin Pris im Original von 1982 zu ihrem letzten verbliebenen Gefährten Roy Batty resignierend-herausfordernd sagt: „Wir werden sterben, weil wir dumm sind“, setzt sich diese Hoffnungslosigkeit auch im neuen Film fort. Nun sind dieses Mal Replikanten legal, weil das großindustrielle, hier fast gottgleich wirkende Genie Niander Wallace (Jared Leto) die Insolvenzmasse der zugrunde gegangenen Tyrell Corporation übernommen und das dort lagernde Wissen genutzt hat, menschenähnliche Sklaven neuen Typus (Nexus 9) mit nun unbegrenzter Lebensdauer, aber weiterhin auf ein Minimum beschränkten „Menschen“-Rechten zu schaffen. Die älteren Androiden werden nach wie vor gejagt und „in den Ruhestand versetzt“. Das übernehmen Blade Runner wie K (Ryan Gosling) auf zynisch bewährte Weise. Da stellt sich plötzlich heraus, dass es möglicherweise in der alten Nexus-Generation zu einer natürlichen biologischen Fortpflanzung gekommen ist. Das Kind (oder die beiden Kinder?) wurden damals sofort von der Replikanten-Mutter getrennt, um sie vor Verfolgung und Tod zu schützen.

    Die Jagd nach dem Kind beginnt. Und K hat unter sehr überraschenden Umständen plötzlich ein ganz persönliches Motiv, dass die Jagd nach dem Kind anders ausgeht, als von den Auftraggebern und weiteren involvierten Kräften beabsichtigt. Dieses Motiv zwingt ihn, den vor vielen Jahren geflüchteten Blade Runner Rick Deckard ausfindig zu machen. Der Wettlauf um das Kind wird für alle Beteiligten sehr schwierig, denn ein nuklear verursachter „BlackOut“ viele Jahre früher hat fast alle elektronischen Aufzeichnungen der Menschheit aus dieser Zeit vernichtet...

    In „Blade Runner 2049“ finden sich ebenso wie im Original handlungsbestimmende Szenen (damals die „Einhorn-Sequenz“), deren Bedeutung erst im Verlaufe der finalen Zuspitzung klar wird und die ich schlichtweg genial fand. Auch hier spielen eingepflanzte (oder echte?) Erinnerungen wieder eine große Rolle. Das Sequel wird seinem Vorgänger hier ganz klar würdig und ist nicht nur eine Ehrerbietung an ihn, sondern legaler Erbe, indem es die damaligen Themen aufgreift und weiterführt. Die emotionalen Beziehungen, die künstliche Intelligenzen hier eingehen (damals zwischen Pris und Roy nur angedeutet, aber auch die Beziehung zwischen Rachael und Deckard) bekommen hier eine neue Dimension, bis hin zu etwas, dass man hier mit vollem Fug und Recht als Liebe bezeichnen muss (Joi und Officer „Joe“ K). Wenn aber künstliche Intelligenzen ihr Dasein hinterfragen, Zuneigung, Opferbereitschaft und sogar Liebe empfinden und das in ihrer reinsten Form – dürfen sie dann ohne menschliche Rechte bleiben?

    „Blade Runner 2049“ schafft dabei im weiteren Verlauf einen Twist, der überraschend umwerfend ist und den ich hier nicht verraten will. Einen sehr großen Anteil an der emotionalen Wucht haben auch die Bilder von Kameramann Roger Deakins (als Langzeit-Oscar-Aspirant hier endlich mit der verdienten Trophäe bedacht), die genial gesetzten Umschnitte (Joe Walker), die audio-visuell schlichtweg atemberaubende Präsentation (Oscar für die visuellen Effekte, Nominierungen für Ton, Tonschnitt und Szenenbild) und der ähnlich wie im Original stimmig-treibende Soundtrack von Benjamin Wallfisch und Hans Zimmer (beide waren zuletzt bei Dunkirk von Christopher Nolan dabei). Die Darsteller sind durch die Bank weg passend und verschmelzen mit ihrer Rolle so glaubwürdig, das es dem Film und seinem Vorgänger angemessen ist.

    Und wenn in einer der letzten Szenen ein ganz bekanntes Thema von Vangelis aus dem Original-Blade Runner erklingt (ich sag hier nicht welches), dann weiß hier der Filmkenner sofort, was gleich passieren wird. Wem da die Augen trocken bleiben, der ist entweder tot oder einfach nur abgestumpft.

    Ja, „Blade Runner 2049“ ist ein Wunder. Und eines, das im Kino selten geworden ist. Braucht es eine Fortsetzung? Nein. Aber es wäre phantastisch!

    Hier noch was Technisches

    BILD
    Ich habe den Film auf 3D-BluRay gesehen (SONY VPL-VW550 und drei Meter Breite Bildwand im Keller-Heimkino). Schärfe und räumlicher Eindruck sind auf Referenzniveau, eingeschränkt lediglich durch den sehr häufig mageren Schwarzwert. Hier wurde wohl künstlich aufgehellt, damit 3D auf weniger lichtstarken Displays nicht im Dunkel absäuft. Das führt an einigen wenigen Stellen sogar zu leichten, aber dennoch sichtbaren farblichen Verfälschungen (als K in die ehemals atomar verseuchte Zone gelangt, leuchten seine Lippen unnatürlich rot). Ich werde mir noch die Steelbook-UHD kaufen, um den Film diesbezüglich genießen zu können. Meine Einschätzung dazu werde ich dann hier ergänzen.

    Aber ich werde mit dem Kauf warten. Grund ist ein Kritikpunkt, der mich in der jüngsten Zeit immer wieder bei SONY-BluRays maßlos aufregt: Die Ignoranz und mangelnde Kundenorientierung gegenüber dem deutschen Markt: Kein Wendecover, deutscher Ton nur noch mit stark eingeschränkter Qualität aufgrund niedriger Datenrate. Dann kaufe ich auch erst, wenn der Preis erheblich gefallen ist.

    TON
    Auf der 3D-BluRay sind beide Tonfassungen (Deutsch und Englisch) nur in Dolby Digital 5.1 mit mickrigen 640 Kilobit Datenrate zu finden. Das ist dieses Filmes nicht würdig. Aber was dann mit geeignetem Upmixer (bei mir DENON AVR-X6200 neun Kanäle plus zusätzlicher Stereoendstufe) aus den elf Boxen und zwei Subwoofern kam, ist wohl die Obergrenze dessen, was damit leistbar ist – ein brachialer Bass, transparente Effekte, die sogar in den Höhenkanälen wandern, und ein Sound, für den ich schon lange nicht mehr ins Kino gehen muss. Wie mein geneigter Mitzuschauer sagte: „Wenn das nur Dolby Digital 5.1 war, dann möchte ich mal die Dolby-Atmos-Fassung erleben!“.

    Das möchte ich auch. Also lieber SONY-Vertrieb, wie wäre es mit verlustfreiem deutschen HD-Ton und Atmos? Diese Disc kaufe ich sofort. Sie darf dann sogar mehr kosten.

La storia mi è piaciuta, è un sequel perciò continua il racconto della precedente , gli attori sono ottimi ! La qualità delle immagini è migliore , sono trascorsi 35 anni dal primo film . Se vi era piaciuto il primo film nelle due versioni ( unicorno quando dorme , "innesti nella......" ) questo vi piacerà perchè continua la storia . Non ha la stessa tensione che trasmetteva il primo è rilassante . Se non avete visto il primo dovete prima guardare il precedente per comprendere ! Questo è un sequel se volete comprendere ....dovete prima guardare quello degli anni 80 , La chiave di svolta è la scena dell'unicorno nel sogno di Deckard , l'origami davanti alla porta ! Chi conosce il film degli anni 80 comprenderà la scena......COINCIDENZE ! oopppss. Come sempre spedizione 鶹 perfetta !

    Il film è un capolavoro. Punto. Inviterei i detrattori a sforzarsi di staccare le due opere, e provare ad essere un po' più obiettivi. Probabilmente è vero che in alcuni casi la trama subisce cali di qualità, come ad esempio nella scena d'amore tra K e Mariette (la Davis) a cui si unisce l'IA olografica Joi, che poteva essere evitata, o almeno rappresentata diversamente, ma è altrettanto vero che ci sono colpi di scena, come l'arrivo di Rachel nel corso del dialogo tra Deckard e Wallace, e la scoperta dell'identità dell'erede. Inoltre, si percepisce ancor meglio il disagio di una società che oramai esiste solo a parole, e l'interrogatorio al quale viene sottoposto di volta in volta K non può non ricordare il Gilliam di 'L'esercito delle dodici scimmie. Grazie alla fotografia si percepisce la desolazione che pervade l'intero film, dove agli interni puliti e asettici si alternano strade polverose e squallide. Anche i grattacieli della Los Angeles post collasso, perdono, volutamente, la magnificenza (e la sottointesa inarrivabilità di chi li popola) così palpabile nel primo capitolo. Grazie ad un uso oculato degli effetti speciali (e pochissimi interventi in CGI per fortuna) la Los Angeles del 2049 ci appare tanto reale e agonizzante, quanto viva e sovraffollata ci era apparsa nel 2019. Le musiche sono grandiose, vere e proprie pennellate di energia pronte a sottolineare l'enfasi di un inseguimento a bordo di spinner in volo, e a stendersi come un manto di dolore in una città giunta oramai alla fine dei suoi giorni, opera di sua maestà Hans Zimmer, coadiuvato da Benjamin Wallfisch (Desert Dancer, Il diritto di contare...). Probabilmente meno immaginifica e emozionale rispetto al (capo)lavoro di Vangelis del primo episodio, ma di grande effetto e carica. L'audio DTS HD 5.1 è impressionante, potente e mai eccessivo su Bluray, con stacchi netti e impulsivi che guidano lo spettatore a ogni cambio di scena, e basse frequenze che non sovrastano mai il parlato, rendendolo sempre distinguibile. Denis Villeneuve è riuscito in pieno a fare tesoro del pesante fardello di raccontare il seguito di uno dei film più belli della storia del cinema, un vero e proprio esercizio di stile per cui Sir Ridley Scott sarà sempre ricordato.
