"Villeneuve has created a genuinely thoughtful piece of sci-fi which escapes the gravitational pull of its inspiration to become something—to paraphrase Dr. Eldon Tyrrell—more Blade Runner than Blade Runner." — John Bleasdale, CineVue
"That Villeneuve achieves such a cerebral and even touching picture, while also accomplishing an uncommonly sublime production, marks Blade Runner 2049 as a landmark in the science-fiction genre." — Brian Eggert, Deep Focus Review
"That Blade Runner 2049 is a more than worthy sequel to Scott’s first film means it crosses the highest bar anyone could have reasonably set for it, and it distinguishes Villeneuve as the most exciting filmmaker working at his level today." — Robbie Collin, The Telegraph
