If these early reviews are anything to go by, Blade Runner 2049 is easily going to live up to the hype

‘Masterpiece’ is a term already being used to describe it.

With one of the best directors around, arguably THE Hollywood star of his generation in the lead role and as a sequel to one of the most iconic movies of all time, it’s easy to understand why there’s such a sense of anticipation ahead of the release of Blade Runner 2049 early next month. The jaw-dropping trailers have done absolutely nothing to quell that sense of anticipation and thankfully, judging by the early reviews, there’s nothing to suggest it won’t live up to expectations. A select group of lucky critics got to see advance screenings of the movie on Tuesday and safe to say they were very much impressed, so much so that words like ‘breathtaking’ ‘stunning’ and ‘masterpiece’ were being thrown around like they were going out of fashion. https://twitter.com/jhoffman/status/912709122063261696 https://twitter.com/colliderfrosty/status/912708503927525377 https://twitter.com/ErikDavis/status/912711994712645632 https://twitter.com/JennaBusch/status/912710866327322624 https://twitter.com/eeisenberg/status/912708351326273538 https://twitter.com/WilliamBibbiani/status/912713452732293120 https://twitter.com/WeLiveNetwork/status/912714270621655041 In case you’ve no idea what’s going on, Blade Runner 2049 takes place 30 years after the events of the original film and this time around, a new blade runner, LAPD Officer K (Ryan Gosling), unearths a long-buried secret that has the potential to plunge what’s left of society into chaos. K’s discovery leads him on a quest to find Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), a former LAPD blade runner who has been missing for 30 years. Blade Runner 2049 is released in cinemas on Friday, October 6. https://twitter.com/bladerunner/status/886921400652410880
