It was the best film I've seen in a long time, much better than the original Blade Runner.

The original Blade Runner is not a great film - the pacing is terrible and it's dated asf with people smoking in every scene and terrible voiceovers. I like the dark atmosphere created by the music and visuals, depicting a dystopian society. The moral questions provoked such as what is human is good. But really, it's massively overrated.

On the other hand, Blade Runner 2049 has action, emotion, great acting, great visuals and explores the themes set out in the 1st film just as well. Could have done with a soliloquy at the end though.

Did Wallace remind anyone else of the Illusive Man from Mass Effect?

How dependent is this movie on having seen the first one? Is it a direct sequel with the same characters and plot continued?

It's better if you haven't, since then, you can say the ONE thing that makes it a "great" movie, is shit that wasn't already covered 20 years ago, since 90% of the people who say it's good, claim it's good becaause they ask such profound questions, even though they're the same EXACT questions that were asked 20 years ago.... So profound, much hip, so wow.
