Blade Runner 2049, starring Ryan "The Goose" Gosling, Harrison Ford and Jarryd Leto is set some 30 years after the original, which was directed by Ridley Scott and released in 1982. Directed by Denis Villeneuve, the visionary director of Sicario and Arrival, Blade Runner 2049 continues to show audiences why he is possibly the best director in the field today. Featuring mind blowing shot after mind blowing shot, 2049 is one of the greatest visual feasts we've ever seen in a cinema.
2049 follow Agent Kae who upon making a startling discovery, with potentially world altering ramifiations, is thrust into a collision course with Deckard and the creator of this new breed of replicants Wallace (played exceptionly well by Leto) The plot moves slowly to be sure and this might erk some as the movie is quite long coming in at just under 3 hours however we found it to be superbly paced, gripping and utterly copelling from start to finish. 2049 is a brilliant detective drama wrapped up in the sci-fi rags that are the Blade Runners signiture futuristc L.A.
If you weren't a fan of The Goose before Blade Runner 2049 you will be after this as he gives his best on screen performance since the likes of Drive. Ford delivers a gripping performance and is a powerhouse when he steps on screen. Two side characters, both female, are portrayed wonderfully and are both likeable and you can't help but feel for them. Portrayed by Ana De Armas and Sylvia Hoaks their performances are very satisfying to watch.
Arguably the most visually stunning movie of the last decade and accompionied by a riverting, mind melting score, Blade Runner 2049 is one of the best cinema going experiences we've ever had. Upon the credits hitting screen we were left stunned and speechless, literally sitting in our chairs for a moment trying to process what we had just witnessed. Watch Blade Runner 2049 on the biggest screen possible and hope that the audio is jammed at 11. 2017 has a new front runner for best movie among multiple other awards.

Welcome to REWIND REPLAY! If you haven't checked the channel out before my name is Steve and love all things movies, T.V., video games and just pop culture in general and I really wanted a place I could discuss it all with others thus- REWIND REPLAY.
REWIND REPLAY is a channel for pop culture lovers of all ages to come together and jump head long into the discussion about all the latest movies, video games and television programs.
Here is what you can expect to see on REWIND REPLAY...
NEW REVIEWS- Reviews of all the latest release movies as well as the latest STAN and NETFLIX movies.
REWIND REVIEWS- Reviews of older movies.I like to look back at what the film was then and see how it has held up today. Often this will be used to build up to a new release.
RANKINGS- Once I've built up a new release movie with REWIND REVIEWS and reviewed the new film as well, I'll go ahead and RANK them from WORST to BEST!
RECASTS- This is where I take a new release movie and shift its release date by a decade or two and RECAST the movie with actors from that time.I also talk a bit about how I think the film would have looked and felt during that era and discuss who might have directed the movie and why.
5 THINGS STILL GREAT ABOUT- This is a new segment looking back at videos game of old and instead of reviewing them and pulling them apart for their dated graphics and game play, instead I look at what is STILL GREAT about the game. Fun, light-hearted and hopefully gets you looking at older games in a new light.
TOP 10's-Coming in a month or so I'll be adding TOP 10's to the agenda. These will either countdown to from 10-1 or I may make them simply 10 moments in no particular order.
