What's been said
Viewers and critics received Blade Runner 2049 as a critical triumph, with many calling it one of the best sci-fi films in years, though its audience reaction was more divided. The near-universal praise centered on Roger Deakins' cinematography, widely described as stunning and visionary, ultimately earning him his first Oscar win on his 14th nomination. The most common complaint was the film's slow, deliberate pacing and nearly three-hour runtime, with some viewers finding it a ponderous sit and others feeling emotionally cold or disconnected from it. Despite being a critical darling, the film was a significant box office failure, losing the studio an estimated $80 million during its theatrical run, cementing its status as a celebrated misfire that many predict will grow into a cult classic like its predecessor.
