action

No beam of light, just the headlights of drones penetrate the smog in Los Angeles in 2049. The city is not only inhabited by humans, but also by holograms and artificial humans, the so-called replicants, who, however, no longer serve them as slaves, as they did years before. The new bioidentical replicant type Nexus 9, launched by Wallace Corporation a few years earlier , no longer holds any grudges against its builders. Above all, it only does its job until its programmed lifetime has expired and it dies. Since the ecosystems have collapsed and there are no more real animals and plants, protein-rich beetle larvae are being grown in spacious greenhouses in front of the city, which people feed on.

Even if the replicant problem of the past seems largely resolved, there are still replicant hunters like Officer K of the Los Angeles Police Department , who goes out on operations with his spinner, a flying sports car accompanied by a drone. The officer, who is himself a particularly highly developed replicant, tries to track down replicants living in secret, who have been taken out of production because of their unlimited lifespan in order to "put them into retirement", that is to say to kill them.

Officer K lives in a small apartment and is not valued by his neighbors as "Skinner". He can relax thanks to Joi, his holographic playmate, who presents herself in constantly changing outfits, gives him comfort in the evening and serves a virtual dinner. One day he gives her a so-called emanator with which she can leave the four walls for the first time. With the help of the device, she feels rain on her holographic skin for the first time on the roof of the house. He shares his secrets with Joi, and she, in turn, uses her algorithms to try to be a real friend to him. But she cannot be available to him for his sexual desires, which is why she hires a prostitute for him, who later turns out to be a replicant.

A box containing the bones of a woman is unearthed on the property of the farmer Sapper Morton , who was killed by K and whose papers he got through a tip . Niander Wallace, who took over the Tyrell Corporation after it went bankrupt, becomes aware of this find. The remains have a serial number on the one hand, and on the other hand they reveal that the replicant gave birth to a baby thirty years ago and died in the process. The businessman Niander Wallace still lacks such a fertile replicant in his product range.

K.'s superior, Lieutenant Joshi, known as “Madam”, is concerned about the news of this find. The head of the LAPD believes that such a child could trigger a war or a massacre if, with childbearing, the last advantage that people have over the replicants is lost. Officer K should therefore find the child and eliminate it. His search leads him out of Los Angeles, first to San Diego, which serves as a huge garbage dump, then to the mysterious memory designer Dr. Ana Stelline and finally Las Vegas. After a nuclear war and several nuclear accidents, the former amusement paradise lies in the middle of a radioactively contaminated restricted area. Years ago, a blackout erased all electronic data and with it a large part of the collective memory of humanity.

In the ghost town he meets Deckard, who was once a blade runner himself, but is now a hunted like all other renegades . Deckard has been hiding in an old casino there for thirty years. The dead replicant was Rachael, who had fled the Tyrell Corporation killers with Rick Deckard many years earlier. Officer K believes after visiting Dr. Stelline that he is the child born to Rachael.

Luv, Niander Wallace's assistant, who is herself a Replicant, tracks down Deckard and Officer K in Las Vegas, overpowers K in battle, and brings Deckard to Wallace. Meanwhile, Officer K, who had introduced himself to Deckard as Joe, is rescued by a mysterious group: Under Freysa's leadership, some replicants have managed to form the resistance. They ask Joe or K to kill Deckard so that he cannot betray them to Wallace. At the same time, Deckard is interrogated by Wallace; in exchange for information about where his child is, Wallace offers him a replica of Rachael. When Deckard refuses, Luv kills the new Rachael.

Deckard is led away and there is a final duel between Joe and Luv. Joe finally manages to kill Luv. He then leads Deckard to the house of his daughter, whom he has never met before. It's about Dr. Ana Stelline. Joe's supposed childhood memories are actually from her. Joe, seriously injured in the fight with windward, remains outside the building in the blowing snow.

Themes and motifs

Man and parallel creation

Verena Lueken from the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung says that the questions that arise in the film are on the table: “What distinguishes people from machines? About the machines that now look like you, that bleed like you, even if their wounds heal faster, that die like you, even if it takes longer, and that cling to their, the people, memories that have been implanted into them when they threaten to get lost inside? "Blade Runner 2049 tell us about what being human means and that it doesn't need a father or a mother, but the longing to have been a child, while keeping the boundaries between humans and machines fluid: “Humanity, which is at issue here, needs more than biological or artificial genes. She needs the desire for transcendence. It needs the view of the world that a meager little flower in a field of ashes is a sign of hope. And recognize the beauty of the earth in a few snowflakes on the skin. ”According to Lueken, there is no biological person in the film to whom one of these things applies.

For Georg Seeßlen from Zeit Online , too , the main question that the film deals with is the parallel creation of artificial humans. Blade Runner 2049 becomes the reverse image of the forerunner in terms of the question of “authenticity” and “replicability” of humans: “Since, by the way, replicants are not machines, but a genetic-organic parallel creation complete with 'artificial memories' and with feelings [ …], The question of their technical production is rather pointless. The replicant is the person who suffers from his inauthenticity and enslavement, from his heteronomy and incompleteness. "

Like its predecessor, the film leaves open whether Deckard is a human or a replicant, which in turn leaves the question open whether Rachel's child is a hybrid or a child conceived by two replicants. Villeneuve said: “I love secrets. So I think, the way it is, it's way more interesting than answering the question. ”Also in the Huffington Post , Villeneuve said he didn't want to answer that question, quoting Ford who believed they were with the past proceeded with the necessary care. Vulture's Abraham Riesman says the fact that Deckard was able to survive 30 years would have been a huge leap for a Nexus-6 model with a finite lifespan. In addition, Deckard has also aged, which would not fit the Tyrell Corporation's slogan that their replicants are "more human than human".

For Jochen Kürten from Deutsche Welle , the story the film tells is as complex as it is simple: “Complicated, because the story takes up the storylines of the old film, varies and continues. But also simply because the questions are basically the same as in 1982: How do people deal with artificial intelligence, how humane do they show themselves when dealing with replicants? ”For Officer K's holographic friend Joi, the question is not whether biological or artificial genes make up a person. In the DNA archive she philosophizes about the difference between being made up of four gene components and two digital states. The actress Ana de Armas, who plays Joi in the film, said: “In the film we show that replicants and people are practically the same thing. The only difference is how they are born. The rest - the feelings, the dreams, the will to live - are the same. In fact, sometimes replicants show more empathy and compassion than real people. You could be a better version of ourselves. And we are the only ones who can protect what we are and what we have. Hopefully this light will come on soon enough. ”Like Officer K, Joi knows that she is a replicant, but doesn't understand that her feelings for him were only programmed into her. Officer K, on ​​the other hand, initially knows that his childhood memories were only implanted into him, but has increasing doubts about this.

Identity problem

During his investigative work in the devastated areas beyond the city wall, Officer K first became acquainted with the undefined zones of his own identity, where implanted memories turn out to be a possible reality and feelings for the synthetic hologram companion Joi reach an unknown intensity, according to Martin Schwickert in the Nürnberger Nachrichten . Like every real hero, K is also looking for himself, searching for the soul in the replicant existence and trying to unravel his own origins, says Schwickert. Although he had always been told that all of his memories were only implanted, he became increasingly doubtful when the evidence piling up that he himself could be the child he was looking for and his memories of his childhood thus real. Only when Freysa explains to him that all of this was part of a sophisticated, grand plan and only an illusion does his self-discovery collapse.

Joe, the name Joi gave him, becomes a parody, because Joe is nothing more than the code for namelessness, according to Georg Seeßlen. In English, Joe Average is an equivalent of the average consumer , a person with the average needs of the general population.

Religious references

The character of the replicant Rachael, who was the first of her kind to have a child in the film, refers to Rachel mentioned in the Bible . While Jacob's first wife Lea gave birth to several sons, his second wife Rachel remained sterile until after many years she was still pregnant and Jacob gave birth to the sons Joseph and Benjamin . However, like Rachael in the film, Rachel died while Benjamin was born. As the mother of the two ancestors of the Twelve Tribes of Israel in Judaism, she is one of the patriarchs of Israel. Her son Joseph was later sold into slavery but became an important patriarch of Israel. In English there is the short form Joe for the name Joseph , which corresponds to the name that Joi chooses for Officer K and suggests that this could be a child of Rachael.

production

Staff and cast

Starring Harrison Ford and Ryan Gosling at Comic-Con 2017

On March 3, 2011, Alcon Entertainment announced in a press release that they are in final negotiations with Bud Yorkin to acquire the rights to Blade Runner . In February 2015, it was confirmed that there was a script by Hampton Fancher and Michael Green , that Harrison Ford would again play the role of Rick Deckard and that Denis Villeneuve would direct. On November 17, 2015, Ryan Gosling confirmed that he would be starring in the sequel. He plays the replicant Officer K.

Robin Wright plays Los Angeles' police chief Lieutenant Joshi, the superior of Officer K. The blind industrialist Niander Wallace, who not only fed mankind through the Wallace Corporation in the film but also took over the Tyrell Corporation, is played by Jared Leto . Sylvia Hoeks plays his assistant, the replicant Luv. The Swiss Carla Juri took on the role of the young scientist Dr. Ana Stelline, who, due to an immunodeficiency, creates memories for replicants in a sterile environment. The Cuban Ana de Armas plays K's hologram partner Joi, and the Palestinian actress Hiam Abbass plays Freysa, the leader of an underground movement.

David Dastmalchian plays the scientist Coco in the film, Barkhad Abdi took on the role of Doc Badger, and Dave Bautista plays Sapper Morton, an older series replicant whom Officer K kills at the beginning of the film. Edward James Olmos , who was seen as a mysterious police officer in the original, plays this again in a short appearance - he now lives in a retirement home.

Filming and equipment

While the first film was shot exclusively in the United States and the United Kingdom, most of Blade Runner 2049 was shot at Korda Studios in Etyek, Hungary, 30 kilometers west of Budapest . During the filming there, a construction worker working for the film was killed. Further recordings were made in Iceland and Spain. Roger Deakins acted as cameraman .

The set was created by Oscar winner Dennis Gassner . As an inspiration for the film's unreal, futuristic design, Gassner said they were in Montreal on a stormy and snowy night during the pre-production phase when he received a call from Villeneuve who was watching clearance vehicles on the street. The image that Gassner presented himself when looking at them, he continued, was not only aesthetically inspiring, but also served as a template for the world in which the sequel takes place, since it reflects his idea of ​​the likely technological and geographical changes in this world corresponded. The lighting of the clearing vehicles was ingenious, Gassner continued, so that all of the snow could be moved in the middle of the night. In the morning he and Villeneuve had met and decided to use this atmosphere for the film. Gassner specially designed a snow machine to help create the brutal universe in which the film takes place. Paul Inglis acted as the supervising art director. Territory Studio designed the visualizations on screens, such as those in the DNA laboratory, at Wallace Corporation and in the premises of the LAPD.

Andreas Busche from the Tagesspiegel says that the interplay between director, cameraman and production designer is breathtaking and that they have created a splendid, rundown future full of spectacular details. Markus Fiedler from Focus Online also thinks the film looks fantastic, and the camera work adapts seamlessly to the specifications that were designed in the first part, and Deakins is once again bringing futuristic Los Angeles to life in the continuous rain.

Film music, film editing and visual effects

→ Main article : Blade Runner 2049 (soundtrack)

After Jóhann Jóhannsson was initially supposed to compose the film music, Hans Zimmer and Benjamin Wallfisch , who had previously worked together for Christopher Nolan's war drama Dunkirk , ultimately collaborated . According to Villeneuve, Jóhannsson had strayed too far from the original by Vangelis , who composed the score for the predecessor film Blade Runner from 1982. The soundtrack for the film was released as a download by Epic Records in early October 2017 . In addition to the included songs Summer Wind and One for My Baby by Frank Sinatra and Suspicious Minds and Can't Help Falling in Love by Elvis Presley , the beginning of Peter's leitmotif from the orchestral work Peter and the Wolf by Sergei Prokofiev appears again and again in the film intoned.

The two-time Oscar nominee Joe Walker acted as film editor . In an interview with the Provideo Coalition , the latter said that when they first looked through the footage, they discovered that the story was split in two. One is the one about K, how he reveals the secret of his true past and loses himself in his virginity. The second story is about meeting your creator and making sacrifices. A first cut version of the film was almost four hours long.

At the end of December 2017, the company Rodeo FX, which was responsible for the visual effects, made a video available in which the specialists give an insight into their work and show how the film was changed by the effects and when they were used.

Marketing and Publishing

Director Luke Scott released the short film 2036: Nexus Dawn with Jared Leto in August 2017 , which is about the important events between Ridley Scott's original and the successor to Denis Villeneuve. He also directed the short film 2048: Nowhere to Run . The short film Blade Runner Black Out 2022 was directed by Shin'ichirō Watanabe and was released at the end of September 2017.

The film celebrated its world premiere on September 26, 2017 in Los Angeles. The film was released in German cinemas on October 5, 2017, and in US cinemas the following day. A cinema release in China took place on October 27, 2017.

reception

Age rating

In the USA, the film received an R rating from the MPAA , which corresponds to a rating of 17 and over. In Germany, the film is FSK 12. The reason for the release states: “Individual tension and fight scenes with sometimes drastic twists and turns can overwhelm children under the age of 12 in the interplay with the gloomy atmosphere. But since the violence is never played out voyeuristically and is dramatically well integrated into the narrative, even 12-year-olds can deal with it. This age group is aware of the fictionality of the setting and the story and can distance itself sufficiently from what is happening. This age group can also deal with the moral ambivalence of some characters, as the film ultimately emphasizes the importance of humanity and solidarity. "

Comparison with the previous film

So far, the film has won over 87 percent of Rotten Tomatoes critics and received an average rating of 8.2 out of a possible 10 points. The consensus states: "Visually breathtaking and narrative satisfying, Blade Runner 2049 deepens and expands the story of its predecessor ."

Hanns-Georg Rodek from Welt Online thinks that Blade Runner 2049 is not a revolutionary act like its predecessor, because it lacks limitless innovation, but he does not reveal the original either, but treat it with respect. The architecture has become a little more Riefenstahlesque, a little more monolithic, but that is how a city can develop, according to Rodek. In addition, the film does not show a glossy future, rather you can feel the groaning machines that keep the system running, and the extraordinary film music by Hans Zimmer also seems like metallic machine noise.

Anke Westphal from the Stuttgarter Nachrichten thinks that fans of the 1982 classic will find many visual references to Ridley Scott's cult film, the synthesis of dystopia and film noir in which cyberpunk reigned stylistically .

About Ryan Gosling in the role of Officer K, Andreas Busche from Tagesspiegel says , whose sentimental doggy look turns out to be the most consistent update to Harrison Ford's stoic replicant hunter in Scott's Original, but the hard-nosed noir hero portrayed by him remains more of an assertion, also because he is the existential doubts of Ford's character Rick Deckard no longer worry, as K knows that he is not human.

In a review by Deutsche Welle of the film, it is said that this is anything but one of those typical soulless sequels from the commercial machine of the big Hollywood studios and that it exists as a singular film artwork.

Reviews and grossing results

Regarding the work of the scriptwriters, Daniel Krüger from Musikexpress says that Blade Runner 2049 does not mess around with the story of the original, but rather carefully and consistently extends the alternative future that Scott brought to the screen in 1982. Technology has made a few leaps forward in the alternative future, says Krüger, and the earth appears even less liveable. Martin Schwickert also rated the work “good” in the Rheinische Post and found the film to be “a worthy successor that met its original with love and respect, but stood on its own two feet in terms of both content and art.”

Denis Villeneuve at Comic-Con 2017

Andreas Busche believes that Denis Villeneuve did not fall into the nostalgia trap of such a project loaded with unrealizable expectations, but with Blade Runner 2049 , which he describes as retro science fiction par excellence , proves an excellent sense for "world building", whereby Scott's polyglot juggernaut Los Angeles served as the starting point for a series of exciting “set pieces”. In Der Spiegel, on the other hand, people think that the film is an example of the fact that “in Hollywood they don't trust the audience much anymore”, but still see the film as an “honorable sequel”. The film's image of women is also controversial, and is sometimes even perceived as a step backwards from the 80s original.

Fabian May is also rather ambivalent in Stern ; Although he gives the film good ideas, he says, a "wordless and meaningless final battle and a really insignificant family reunification round off a film that had actually started excitingly (... Blade Runner 2049) would have needed a script that delivers what it itself promises. ". Probably the harshest criticism was given by the American critic Gregory Weinkauf in the Huffington Post, in which he wrote that he "wanted to like Blade Runner 2049, but the film only forces you to listen to pseudo-provocative dialogues for hours".

Anke Westphal says that the film shines with a visual richness that is unparalleled in contemporary cinema, and that the director celebrates the images in an almost meditative way and uses action scenes very consciously, almost sparingly: “Denis Villeneuve does not surprise with the grandiose images alone, but also with narrative twists, and he has continued his dark vision of the future beyond today's modern transhumanity by giving his protagonists ways to fight for a name from their serial number existence and the authority to interpret their history. "Daniel Krüger says even, Villeneuve crowned himself with this visual frenzy, which at times strongly reminded of his feverish dream-like thriller Enemy , the current grandmaster of science fiction.

USA Today's Brian Truitt says the film is extremely stylish and, despite the androids and holograms, deeply human. The sequel takes the crime story of the first film and turns it into a great mythology of identity, memory, creation and upheaval. Truitt goes on to explain that the Hampton Fancher story is surprisingly emotional, that Benjamin Wallfisch and Hans Zimmer's score is as important as Vangelis's to the previous film, and that if there is anything like justice, cameraman Roger Deakins will get his first Oscar.

The film hit the box office in a number of countries after its release, including the UK, Italy, Australia and the US, where the film grossed $ 32.8 million on the first weekend. The worldwide revenue of the film from theatrical screenings so far amounts to approximately 259 million US dollars. The film recorded 964,144 visitors in Germany.
