Attended today and sat up front to absorb it all and impressed. I am considering a second viewing and that is rare for me soin a few words....what a movie.... all that I expected .... If you haven't and you're thinking, just do it
9.5/10
BR2049. Saw it at the BFI IMAX for the full experience
Was really worried this was going to suffer from the "sequels that don't need to be made but we can cash-in on the franchise so we'll make it anyway" syndrome as the original is one of my all time favourite movies.
It's fucking fantastic. 9/10. Visuals are spot on. Story is worth telling and the cast nail it on the money. If you're a fan of the original you'll enjoy it. They didn't over do it and make everything bigger faster stronger longer and brighter. It's very sympathetic to the tech noir mood of the first. The sound is awesome too.
I seem to remember Universal already tried to kickstart a monster movie franchise to rival Marvel's cinematic universe with The Wolfman starring Benicio Del Toro, but that flopped too.

I'm gonna go see it again too Whiskey
Nice phantasmagoria You've convinced me that I must see it again to cement the experience. Although I did sit closer to the screen than I normally would this view, I'll aim for a bigger screen if I can find one...
