Lego Blade Runner 2049: Officer K (Ver 3)
I think it's been long enough since the movie came out for me to talk spoilers about the film, but since some of you probably haven't seen it yet I will refrain. This is my 3rd version of Ryan Gosling's Officer K from Balde Runner 2049. I fixed up the face, added some fur detailing to the coat, and did some other things. I've very pleased with this version of the figure. I know my last posts were all Blade Runner so soon I'll post something different. I have included my official review of Blade Runner 2049 below.
Blade Runner 2049
Denis Villeneuve once again proves his ambition and vision are second to none as he knocks another one out of the park in Blade Runner 2049; a thrilling, intriguing, and enticing noir science-fiction masterpiece that rivals that of its predecessor. Starring Ryan Gosling as the titular Officer K, and with Harrison Ford returning to reprise his role as Rick Deckard in the sequel to Ridley Scott’s cult classic Blade Runner, Villeneuve’s new take on Blade Runner breathes new life into this thirty five year old property. Most sequels tend to miss the mark on what made the first film so enjoyable, and instead just rehash the same premise and reuse the same concepts from the previous film, like Kingsman: The Golden Circle, or any of the Transformers films. Blade Runner 2049 is the rare exception to this phenomenon. Blade Runner 2049 is able to stand on its own, and also make the first movie better in so many different ways. Villeneuve manages to capitalise and expand upon the original in a new and innovative way, taking the source material and running with it, allowing the world to grow in an organic way that pays respect to the original without imitating it. Rather than taking modern technology such as cell phones and touch screen tablets into a world where they never existed, Villeneuve takes the technology from the first film and shows how it would develop over the course of 30 years in the world that Ridley Scott had manufactured in the 1980’s.
Not much can be said about the film aside from its premise, as the only true way to fully enjoy all this film has to offer is to go in blind. In a world in which humans and androids coexist in a fashion that is anything but equal, a young LAPD blade runner (Ryan Gosling) is sent down a rabbit hole of secrets and mystery after a discovery with deep implications for the world around him. Through the course of the film, Villeneuve explores the meaning of humanity, and individuality. What is love? Can artificial intelligence think independently of its programing? What makes you human? These are just a few of the philosophical questions Villeneuve delves into in the film.
But the real hero of the film is Roger Deakins, the cinematographer of the film. The cinematography combined with the special effects make this one of the most visually stunning and best looking films of the 21st century. The juxtaposition of the blue lighting and atmosphere in the original Blade Runner to the golden atmosphere in Blade Runner 2049, especially in the Las Vegas sequence seen in the trailer, is so strong, simple, and subtle at the same time.
Ryan Gosling does an amazing job in this film, and the subtle range he displays by emoting with his facial features make his character so interesting and compelling. This film also boasts a strong supporting cast to complement Gosling’s performance. Dave Bautista (Drax, Guardians of the Galaxy) and Robin Wright (Jenny, Forrest Gump) both deliver outstanding and memorable performances.
For any fan of science fiction, this film is a must see. The cinematics alone make this film one of the standout movies of the year. It’s not very often that you find a movie with such a profound story that truly captivates your attention and emotions. If you are on the fence, struggling to decide whether it’s worth your money to see this movie, I can say without a doubt that yes, Blade Runner 2049 is well worth the price of admission.
