Customer Ratings & Reviews

I picked this up because it was always being mentioned how good the video quality was. Well, although it wasn’t quite as crisp as I would have liked, it’s still very clean and sharp. As for the movie itself, I loved it! I felt like I “checked out” for almost 3 hours, and escaped life for a bit. It was a wonderful experience. The story, cinematography, and feel of this movie blew me away. It was visually stunning. The music soundtrack was also equally impressive. Highly recommend this movie!

Incredible movie with amazing visuals and sound. The Soundtrack is one of the best in any movie

Man, WHAT A SEQUEL. Who would’ve thought a sequel could be this good, and in 4k? Can’t beat it. Would’ve been better with a digital code, but still a great deal

What stunningly beautiful film. It is CINEMA Everything is just perfect

A worthy sequel to the original Blade Runner. The cinematography is stunning, and the soundtrack will blow you away when played through a great multi-channel system. The story is cohesive, with a surprising ending. I also recommend viewing the deleted, and related videos on You Tube as it will enhance the film's story.

I have been waiting for this to come out on Blu-Ray since it was stunning in the theatre. Saw it on sale at Best Buy, and couldn't wait to get it home. Holds up pretty well on my small screen here at the house. Have watched it several times. It captures the essence of Ridley Scott's 1982 classic. Glad to have it.

This is an excellent follow up to the original Blade Runner which tie everything up, the disc is reference quality for the 4K format, perfect to showcase the capability of the highest resolution and wide color gamut

-Feature: Finally got around to it last night & really enjoyed this sequel. Great continuation to the storyline. Like how they used the least amount of CGI to make it look authentic. Love that a great movie doesn’t have to be overstimulated with action. Had me locked in the entire time despite being 2 1/2 hours. Just the idea to see another one being made after 35 years & have the main star return is mind blowing. I could go on but trying to keep it shorter. A must own sequel for many factors. Pros: Sound; definitely an Atmos reference demo! Not rich in details like the first one but big & full dynamic. Some use of overhead but not heavy like the first one. The sound, visuals inside the movie & of course the movie itself is the highlights! Cons: -3D; Poor level. Only time you noticed it was during the snow & a fire specs scene. -Digital Copy; No (biggest disappointment to order for that reason too only to get a copy w/out it. Called support only to get transferred 3x, 2 hours on the phone, them not wanting to acknowledge the screw up on their end by attaching a deceiving photo of the actual product only to get hung up on & end up not with the correct copy I purchased. Hence my one star in hopes they take notice. Do NOT sell something you don’t have if that is why I didn’t receive the copy on listing) -Slipcover; No. -Gear used for sound & visuals: LG 65’ C6P 4k/3D passive OLED (manually calibrated) 9.2 Onkyo RZ + pre amp for 7.2.4/11.2 (integrated calibrated then manually tweeted with SPL sound level meter & balance/adjust for full dynamic range) Klipsch Reference Premier towers center sides rears dual R112SW subs Polk Audio MC80 8’ quad in-ceiling heights Oppo 4K UDP-203 Monster cables: Premium Black Platinum HDR HDMIs, THX Audio RCA, Digital Subwoofer Cables & Fiber Optic Ultra 1000 Monoprice 14 gauge awg copper speaker wire Nakamichi Speaker Plugs Auralex Acoustic Isolation platforms

This re-make is about as good as you can expect for a movie that was so good the first go round. It's a lot better than I expected it to be, but once I saw how good it is, I figured I'd purchase it for my 4K/ 1080p blu ray disc collection. Now... I'm not gonna try to be a film critic, I'll leave that up to the folks that get paid the big bucks to do it, but I will talk about what I can talk about, and that's the picture and sound quality, and I'm literally amazed at how good the picture and sound quality, is on this disc. I'm using a TCL 5 series tv, a Sony 4K X800M2 player for video, and I'm using a Klipsch Cinema 400 soundbar for audio, and it's like my bedroom is a theater. The vivid coloration, close to black ink colored black levels, bright highlights that make you squint at times...it looks good. Then I heard sounds from the Klipsch soundbar that I didn't hear from it when I first streamed this movie from Amazon Prime a while back. Then you add in deep, window trembling bass from the subwoofer... like I said...I love it. It comes with Dolby Atmos on the disc, but I can't speak about how that sounds, because I can't take advantage of it. I actually have a Vizio M series soundbar that has 2 separate side speakers with it, but I haven't ever used it, because my nephew bought a Vizio 2.1 speaker, and he says that people on his street are playing their music through his soundbar!( I bought mine before he told me that) So now I'm scared to go through the trouble of hooking my Vizio soundbar up, just to have to take everything loose when it happens to me, and the Klipsch is doing a good job, even though it's a 2.1 system. But judging by how much detailed sound you still get from the 4K player downmix, I'm totally satisfied. Now... I don't know how good the 4K version looks (I guess it's better than the 1080p version) but the 1080p blu ray version looks and sounds so good, I'll just say "I'm ok with what I have".

Blade Runner 2049 (2017) is an acquired taste, but once you get past its slow start and pacing, you’ll be riveted on its very intriguing and unique storyline. I say this because it’s extremely slow-moving, and for those who appreciate its pacing with a payoff at the end, then this film is for you. As a stand-alone film, it’s 5 stars. While I still prefer the 1982 film, this sequel can hold its own, because it’s inevitably a different film in a different era of filmmaking. I tend to dislike CGI and the bloated budgets of today, but this is a visual feast with a slow-burning plot. I will add that the sound effects are some of the best I’ve ever experienced in a film; they really create a mood and set a tone. The film really pays homage to the film noirs of the 1940’s and 50’s with all of the classic lighting and other elements of film noir. The special effects are second to none, and come across as showy, but still relevant. I give the director a lot of credit for not ‘selling out’ with this long-awaited sequel. He could’ve easily made this film fast-paced and consistent with the speed of films these days, such as the Star Trek reboots. I give him props for not succumbing to the pressures of wanting to appeal to a wider audience. I think this film came up short in money grossed because the younger crowd isn’t all that familiar with the Blade Runner canon, coupled with the fact that most people want something faster-moving these days. I think this film challenges those with short attention spans, which is a great thing, because if you get through it, you will most likely appreciate it as something refreshingly different in a fast-paced world. Overall, Blade Runner 2049 is a worthy sequel to a classic of American cinema, Blade Runner. The blu ray is really something special, with lots of special features that are interesting. Perhaps I will update this review after a few more viewings.

When I first saw the original Blade Runner back when I was a kid I admit to not liking the movie very much. I attribute this to my being too young to really grasp the meaning of the movie but after seeing it years later and many times between now and then I learned to appreciate what a good movie it was/is. I kind of had the same reaction to BR 2049. I was worried initially when I heard they were making a sequel to BR. I didn't feel a sequel was necessary. And when I left the theater I was kind of lukewarm to the movie. I thought it was good but not great. After buying the Blu-ray and watching the movie a few more times I now realize that is a spectacular piece of film-making. The movie does a great job of recreating the feel of the original. The color palette, the music, everything feels like it is a continuation of the original story. The acting in the movie is fantastic. My favorite character is Luv. The replicant right hand of the film's villian Wallace. Sylvia Hoeks' performance is phenomenal. All in all this is a great movie. If you like Sci/Fi that makes you think then this is the movie for you. No it is not action packed but neither was the original. The action it does have is very good. This disc is pure 4k demo material. Bright vibrant colors and outstanding sound design.

I should first say I own Blade Runner 2049 on 4K UHD and would unequivocally say that the 4K version the best way to watch it. I should also say that there are very few films I feel the need to desire to also own on 3D. BR 2049 is such an amazingly beautiful and well shot masterpiece that the 3D presentation is well worth it. Yes, many of the scenes don’t really pop, but in the bigger action sequences and especially in the city and landscape sequences, the 3D really blows you away!! I wouldn’t say it hugely advances the film, but if you’re a fan of in-Home 3D movies and want something visually captivating, this is a great title to add to your 3D collection. If you have the choice though for only one version, I would most highly recommend the 4K edition.

Blade Runner 2049 is a visually stunning film that deserves to be seen in 4k. The 4k transfer is flawless, with incredible detail, contrast, and color. The HDR enhances the dark and neon-lit scenes, while the WCG brings out the rich and varied hues. The 4k Blu-ray is the best way to experience this sci-fi masterpiece

Blade Runner 2049 is a stunning work of art. Bold, visionary, and thought-provoking. When I first heard of the plan to make a sequel, I had serious doubts. Yet instead of being a pointless "Hollywood" strip-mining of the past, it manages to pay homage to the original without being a rehash and expands upon the world and ideas in fantastic ways. I was too young to see the original Blade Runner in theaters, but I feel like with Blade Runner 2049, I finally had the chance to know what that was like. Unlike many modern films, Blade Runner 2049 is not afraid to take its time; lingering on gorgeous shots and deliberately paced to let you soak it all in. So glad that movies like this are still being made. If you care about great sci-fi, you owe it to yourself to see (and own) this movie!

This is about as good as a sequel to Blade Runner as one could hope for. Is it is long? Yes. Is it slow and methodical in places? Yes. Doesn't that make it boring? Only if you think those qualities from the original were boring. If you didn't like the original or haven't seen the original, you likely won't enjoy your time here. Stylistically this is a gorgeous movie and one worth the 4K upgrade (if your set-up supports it). It's unfortunate that this movie didn't come out before the age of Marvel. In a different time, this could have been the blockbuster it deserved to be.

Rarely do we get sequels that measure up to the original let alone when they are more than 30 years apart. This movie absolutely nails what made the first movie such a classic and may even surpass it. You will just be in awe of the visuals in this movie alone. The plot will take you on a journey that examines what it means to have a soul and whether it is earned or just given by the choices and actions that are made long the way. Movie is definitely more of sci-fi drama than an action movie so don't go in expecting huge action set pieces. This movie is absolutely meant to be seen on 4k and nothing else.

This sequel to the original classic film is a fitting continuation that matches the first movie in feel, tone, mood, and the simple but powerful plot. Director Villeneuve puts his signature stamp into it with his unique and imaginative interpretation of a dystopian future. Harrison Ford and Ryan Gosling both give powerful performances. Jared Leto is, well, himself. This film is beautifully rendered in 4K HDR.

The long-awaited sequel to Ridley Scott’s 1982 science fiction masterwork, “Blade Runner” possessed me unlike any other film in 2017. As I accumulated four theatrical sojourns watching “Blade Runner 2049” I found a deeper and richer cinematic experience with each viewing, one that, to me, even surpassed the original as a work of serious art (for this is no action picture). The reason for this undoubtedly was due to Scott entrusting the great Canadian director, Denis Villeneuve (who previously made “Incendies”, “Prisoners”, “Sicario” and the previous year’s “Arrival”) to honor the original film’s world and philosophical themes while laying claim to his own vision and personal style. Taking place 30 years after Deckart and Racheal emerged from the elevator to leave the smog and overpopulation of 2019 Los Angeles, the new film follows a recent model replicant (with a normal human lifespan) called ‘K’ (played perfectly by an appropriately laconic Ryan Gosling) as he investigates a growing replicant freedom uprising to discover the remains of a once-pregnant replicant, something that leads him not only into mysterious territory in which he discovers the now reclusive Rick Deckart (Harrison Ford in one of his most subtle performances), but also leads him into a journey into his own identity. Darker and more sparse than the original, “Blade Runner 2049” goes into more nihilistic territory that becomes its own original film while respecting the original (as well as the Philip K. Dick source novel). I think this balance between honoring the original film and reaching out with its own different form to become something different, all perfectly designed and executed by Villeneuve and his crew, is arguably its greatest achievement. Of course its cynical detractors point to its length – 164 minutes – and criticize the film’s slowness, but I praise it for having the courage to allow its story to develop in a carefully measured fashion, taking the time to engulf its willing and patient viewers into its world view. I liken it to turning over one’s self to the listening of a Wagner opera like “Parsifal” in which time seems to stop as one is encompassed completely into another place, another time -- and after its long viewing I seem to awaken as if having submitted to a dream, emerging somewhat reborn and more enlightened with knowledge of the human experience. And that is really what this and the original film are really about: underneath its marvelous science fiction trappings with its state-of-the-art production design and special effects (often eschewing CGI for authentically-constructed sets and realistic miniatures), and heightened to a level of unmatched beauty by the cinematography of Roger Deakens, the film is really a thoughtful meditation on what makes us human. To me this is the most accomplished film of 2017, and one I long to experience again and again in future viewings. Unfortunately, the 3D experience on Blu-ray is slightly on the dark side and, since the company didn't think the film warranted a 7.1 Atmos track, it might be better to watch it in 2D Blu-ray. The 3D was great in the theater however, but they kind of messed this up putting it on disc.

This film looks spectacular on 4K UHD Blu-ray. The sound is great as well. I really enjoyed the film and actually liked it better than the original Blade Runner film. I've seen this on regular Blu-ray as well (which looked great) and this benefits significantly from HDR and the added resolution levels of 4K. I felt it necessary to buy the original on 4K as well and look forward to seeing that again in 4K when I have time. My TV is the 65 inch TCL series 6 which I purchased over a year ago. My disk player is an Oppo UDP-205.

This is coming from a longtime fan of the original author, the original film and a huge fan of 2049 for what it's worth but this serves as both a great standalone film as well as a sequel. Some of the best sci-fi on screen in a long time that respects the intelligence of its audience. It's long...but in my book that's just more time to enjoy what's being put on the screen. As for the 4k release it's the first 4k BluRay I have purchased and it does not disappoint. The film is a showcase for high resolution content and HDR.
