Blade Runner 2049 was released to the public on 6 October 2017. It was directed by the great Denis Villeneuve and distributed by the well known Warner Brothers Pictures company as well as the first movie.
It is based on the book “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” by Philip K. Dick as well as “Blade Runner”.
SUMMARY
Three decades have already gone by since the events of the first movie, and a new blade runner, LAPD Officer K, who is at the same time a replicant, is now the main character. One day, he unburies a long-hidden secret that has the ability to turn everything upside down and send the remainings of society into chaos. This discovery leads him on a pursuit to find Rick Deckard, a former blade runner and the protagonist of the first movie, who has been missing for 30 years.
While working on Deckard’s hunt, Officer K finds out this old blade runner had had a kid with his girlfriend Rachael, who died the day of the child’s birth. The identity of the child is totally unknown, which makes his work a lot harder. In addition, he is not the only one looking for the lost child. The Wallace Corporation wants to dissect the child and use it as a template to breed a new workforce, since this child is the first replicant-born child.
In the process of trying to solve this mistery, Officer K even begins to believe he might be the child he is looking for due to some memories he sees when visiting Dr. Ana Stelline for help.
Officer K finally finds Deckard, who tells him his lost child is a girl and not a boy, which makes him realize the memories he saw when he visited the doctor where not his own, but Ana’s memories instead.
Dad and daughter finally meet at the end of the movie where we can also see what looks like Officer K die from his injuries. But does he really die? Where do Ana and Deckard go from there? Will the replicant uprising begin? No one really knows. I guess we will have to stay put for the directors to carry on with this amazing story.
