The storyline and of course the mise en scene of the movie! And well, how can we forget Ryan Gosling, a perfect entity for a romantic, handsome synthetic human!

Set almost 3 decades after its classic predecessor, Blade Runner 2049 chronicles the story of its robot K, his romance with Joi and their dream to become a human when humans have gone astray. 

Rick Deckard has vanished. The notorious Blade Runner has been missing since 2019, when he and Rachael escaped from the authorities, and in the process, also avoided the economic and social downfalls of the early 2020s. It’s now 2049. Replicants are now closer to humans than ever before, and Blade Runners are still used to “retire” the older models that went into hiding from the notorious “Blackout” of 2022. In Deckard’s place, “K” has taken the mantle of Los Angeles’ top Blade Runner. However, his world turns upside down when he discovers a box.

Apparently, the box has something that he believes are human remains. This discovery jeopardize Joshi, and he orders to destroy the evidence. But K decides to go otherwise. “K” tries to piece the evidence together, he comes to realise that one man is the key element in this mystery: the retired Blade Runner (1982), Rick Deckard, who has either disappeared or gone underground. But, is “K” allowed to unearth the truth? You can only find that out by streaming this masterpiece on Netflix.
