About this deal

Conversely, Jared Leto's enigmatic Niander Wallace is a human who is completely void of all humanity to the point that he is more robotic and soulless than the Replicants he creates. When the prospect of a sequel was first raised, my thinking was "well that could be interesting, but no, I'm good.

Whilst Scott's original is a visually iconic 80s sci-fi masterpiece, Villeneuve's Roger Deakins-shot sequel boasts its own distinctive visual majesty, with some of the most jaw-dropping shots in any film of recent times. Read more about the condition New: An item that is still in its original shrink wrap from the manufacturer and the original manufacturer’s seal (if applicable) has not been removed. To Be Human: Casting Blade Runner 2049 (HD, 17:15) – This is another interesting featurette, this time looking at the casting of the film, from the major roles to the smaller but equally as important ones. A crack Bladerunner finds out something of grave importance, and has to go on a quest to discover what he can about himself, the replicants he’s hunting, and what it means to be human.The trailers did a terrible job of selling the film, so those expecting a rip-roaring sci-fi action movie will not get that film. The entire Bladerunner department of the LAPD is staffed by replicants, as they are the most efficient at hunting down their own kind. The extras are all on the included Blu-ray disc and are decent enough, with the promotional shorts and various production featurettes.

The other group that might want 4K would of course be the movie collectors who want "the best" quality for the collection. That said, as a thoughtful, slow, and deliberate movie that raises a lot of thematic ideas, but ultimately lets you come to your own conclusions, it's not for everyone. Whilst the score has been somewhat divisive amongst even fans of the film, with some just not feeling the oppressive overtones which often try to drown out the Vangelis-inspired core, whilst others embrace the respectful updating of score design which is perfectly in-line with Villeneuve's updating of visual aesthetic (and even the narrative design for that matter! Nowhere to Run (HD 5:49) This expands on Dave Bautista's Sapper Morton and how the character became a rogue Nexus 8 replicant.

This is artistic filmmaking at its finest, and represented perfectly in its home video 4K presentation. Ana de Armas' Joi is a stunning visual concept, an AI that blurs the line (certainly for K) as to what's real and what's not. Add this clean finish to the clarity of the resolution and the extreme sense of depth the image enjoys, and you become completely immersed in the visionary world Villeneuve is presenting. The cleverly-developed narrative echoes the original, and builds upon its foundation, but never once seeks to disrespect it, unravel it, or repeat it. I know I'm going to be coming back to this film over and over again in the years and decades to come.
