@@tristanbackup2536 Not even there anymore. I look for a few great studios that still make masterpieces like Studio 4C but in general we haven’t had a new generation this decade of masterpieces like serial experiments lain, Mushishi, literally everything by Satoshi Kon, Monster etc. Call me out on this if I‘m wrong but there aren’t any anime being made anymore that are philosophical and thought-provoking. Maybe that’s because of the sheer popularity of mainstream shonen manga adaptations but shows like attack on titan are really rare in this modern anime landscape. I know you said niche but I don’t know of any great recent niche anime.
One of the greatest sequels ever made. Everything so damn perfect. Blade Runner is my favourite film and this is next. Denis Villeneuve hammered the nail.
Ryan Gosling's empty stare is heavy with emotions, he's got more or less the same empty hollow look all throughout the movie but this score adds waves of different emotions.... a good way to enjoy score like this is to get tipsy on something and stare blankly at the screen in a dark room ....
For me, Blade Runner 2049 questioned what it really meant to be human in this modern era - and whether love could exist for something illusory. If there were ever a scene of formidable sci-fi beauty, it had to be the love-making-cyber-threesome scene with the replicant blonde lady Mariette, overlaid with K's holographic girlfriend Joi. That was a work of artistic genius.
K, like Roy, lives a replicant but dies a human. It's not about the body, it's the soul and the deeds. That's what I love about these movies, the message in both.
Blade runner make such a believable future, everything makes so much sense, technology increasingly taking over our lives, losing any form of privacy while we enhance our bodies with said technology, it becomes unclear were the barrier of being a human lies, the world dying. and the soundtracks add so much more to that. when the first piano notes come you can really see this future world in your mind.
Just wait 28 years from now. Let's see what the world looks like. I think that things are going to start becoming more dystopian. You had a good observation of the film. Although, I don't see how it would ever be possible to have a conversation with to a hologram.
@@philiphymel19 well you dont have a conversation with a hologram, you talk with whatever is projecting it. it's not much more complicated then siri, google home etc. It just needs to be able to tell apart voices so it knows who it is that is talking. But even that technology is pretty far in developement already.
@@RonsaRRR Terminator 2 is an amazing sequel like Aliens is, but deviates from the originals foundations. 2049 improves upon the themes of the original.
The section starting at aroun 07:30 is just pure bliss. Like being in a room full of closed doors with each sound representing a door to paradise opening one after another. And when 09:18 kicks in the floor just tumbles and you fly directly over eternity of life. brilliant production
Anyone that posted a negative comment about this sequel clearly didn’t fully understand the first film and clearly doesn’t get Bladerunner! Watched this and it answered so many questions. Filled so many gaps and let me feeing emotionally attached to Bladerunner even more. Amazing film, amazing story and will stay with me forever.
please. "didn't fully understand the first film" if you didn't particularly like this one? I loved the first one when it came out and until recently, it was one of my all time faves, although some aspects haven't held up well. It still looks and sounds great. This has some of the problems of the first, although I think it looks and sounds even better. It's certainly the best score Hans Zimmer has been involved in. I credit Benjamin Wallfisch personally. However, there were a few overly blunt homages to the original - yes, callbacks fine, but not replicating (haha). The pace is too slow. It has way too much of a sense of its own importance. Gosling is ...ok. Batista acted him off the screen in the first 10 minutes. As did most of the principal cast. Although I have no idea why anyone casts Jared Leto these days, if they want acting. The scenes with Ford dragged on too long. I didn't mind the slight plot twist, but wow the ending was incredibly clumsy. Introduce an entirely new bunch of people, barely say anything about them, btw, the "hero" isn't who you think it is, the end? The actual "hero" reminded me a little too much of John Travola in The Boy in the Plastic Bubble - it was just a bit too twee. I gave it a bare B minus - for the cinematography, music, effects and much of the acting. Shame about the plot, really, although it had a great premise.
so I watched Arrival back in 2016, I didn't know anything about Villeneuve other than he made this sci-fi masterpiece film about contact with aliens but in such a profound and meaningful way but most importantly in a different manner -not your typical sci-fi flick- soon after, I found out he was in the works with Alcon entertainment to bring Blade Runner's sequel to reality, I flipped! couldn't wait for it, I saw it on my birthday October 2017 and it has been one of the most spectacular cinematic experiences I'll ever live, and now he's behind Dune's realization, a story/movie many others have condemned as "unfilmable", being the director behind one of the greatest films ever made -Blade Runner 2049- I think he will surprise us and take us to a a new level of experience and visuals for this one.
Villeneuve is one of my fav directors. His other films are just as good - Enemy, Prisoners and Sicario. Arrival was a fantastic, intelligent sci-fi film, and Blade Runner 2049 is a masterpiece.
Still listening to this to this day, and every time I listen to it. I always enter this mindset and think of things I'd never thought of before. I think of the beauty of all things in life for some reason. I don't really know why I get in this mood when listening to this, but it is truly something beautiful and unexplainable.
I went 3 times into IMAX and Blade Runner was the best acoustic cinema experience of my lifetime. The whole cinema became a vibrant room and i felt like shifting to another world. A shame this movie didnt get the attention it should have become as the first movie
Possibly my favorite movie; there are very few other contenders. Anyway, I just realized that the sea walls have to be there to stop rising sea levels and extreme storms, all consequences of global warming. I love that this movie doesn't always tell you something, it just shows you and moves on and you hopefully won't catch it the first time, because then you're feeling what it's like to be introduced to an unfamiliar world. You aren't from this time and place, so you shouldn't always understand it, and something a little out of place that your mind ignores, might upon second glance be revelatory. And a movie that has meaningful touches that you miss, is a movie where things feel real. Because real life is rarely spectacular. In real life, one gets a sense from things "Yep. That's supposed to be there. So?". That's also the nature of a well-designed product, by the way. A world feels real when it can fade into a background.
That's why I like the visuals for The Expanse theme for the first season, because it shows how global warming affected Earth without saying it out loud, and you find out indirectly.
@@pyrania6828 Global warming is making the earth greener and evaporating water into the upper atmosphere to condense as rainfall. So actually the "warming" is having a net positive effect on the earth. Warmth = rain water = more green = more food = more food. Why do you think the first thing they want to do to create an atmosphere on Mars is to nuke the polar caps. The at the most recent report from NASA about the greening of the earth. Ocean levels aren't even rising because so much moisture is evaporated in the upper atmosphere.
Global warming isn't that simple, it warms parts of the Earth up and cools other parts down. For example, the Gulf Stream is slowing down by nearly 80% due to global warming disturbing the thermohaline layer in the ocean. The only reason why England and Ireland can support a large population is because of the Gulf Stream running up the coast due to the Coriolis effect and bringing tropical water with it. If it slows down all the way, the climate in northern Europe would turn far colder and large amounts people would die. Also, the ice caps on Mars are mostly dry ice and frozen volatiles, and nuking them is going to have massive effects all across Mars, mainly fallout due to the high number of nuclear groundbursts. Only Elon Musk wants to do that, for obvious reasons. Even if we did melt all the ice caps, its going to at most create a global puddle 1 meter deep. I'm an ecologist, by the way.
Experiencing Bladerunner in movie theater was one of the best decisions of my life. P.S. I watched this movie with my classmates, and only a few of them truly understood a real value of the film. During the movie session I was sitting being entirely drawn to the priceless image of Bladerunner.
The 80's was a great decade for scifi, but goddamn, the 2010's was an underrated decade for the same reason. Not just Blade Runner 2049, but also Arrival, Annihilation, Interstellar & Aquaman. Yes, Aquaman is a great movie, sue me.
Annihilation wasn't all that great, and neither was Arrival. Arrival was like a poor imitation of Contact. Annihilation had some promise but how the extradimensional entity was "defeated" didn't make a whole lot of sense.
@@billywashere6965 Lost me at Interstellar... can we talk about BRUTAL HYPE? Watching that movie felt like I was on beta-blockers, totally dead inside.
@@johncaccioppo1142 The problem was how stilted the experience was, much like many of other Nolan's pictures. It didn't feel like it captured the all-encompassing beauty and mystique that stretches the vaccuum of space. Then again, Inception had a very similar problem, it was a technical masterpiece as far as structure and composition was concerned, but it was an absolute failure when it came to capturing the ethereal and almost liquid nature of dreams. It was too concrete and not abstract enough. Videodrome did a much better job of blending psychosis with reality, same as At The Mouth Of Madness, where it was difficult to tell what was real and what wasn't within the framework of the story.
@@billywashere6965 Ah yes Mouth of Madness, I still need to see that, thanks for reminding me! I guess dreams have taken many forms for me over the years. Sometimes they are about being chased or murdered, usually they are about buildings that sprawl. Rarely is there a discernable story and the characters usually turn into me, and then I turn into them. I don't think any movie about any dream would ever surprise or fully fill me with the awe of a real dream though.
The music from K chasing Luv to the subsequent fight scene had me totally transported into the film first time I saw 2049. Those hard electronic sounds @5:00 is some of my favorite work in the soundtrack. Well done extending this
I imagine the Grim Dark world of Warhammer 40K, we're flying in an Imperial Guard Valkyrie with open side hatches (like a Huey Helicopter), along side the outside a Hive City, at high speed, yet it hardly feels like we're travelling because the Hive City is so impossibly vast. Absolutely wonderful.
EVERY SINGLE PERSON in that imax theater was in utter fucking shock and awe when the WHOOLEEE MOVVIEEE shook our very skin and minds!!!! it's like we were on another plane of existence. it was fucking FANTASTICQ!!!!!! that feeling THAT FEELING!!!! holy shit!! i wish i could share that with all of you!! I even saw people tear up at how EPIC the shock and awe inspiring this movie was! like a happy fantastic memory tear, not sad tears! I WANT TO RELIVE THAT!!!
You know, despite not having too much action in this movie, the action it has is actually pretty awesome! The movie for the most part is slowly paced, but then the Sea Wall comes in and it’s so adrenaline-pumping! I was like “YES! YES!” when I first watched this scene. I’d low key love to see an action movie in the Blade Runner universe 👀
I was fourteen when this hit theaters. One of my first more adult films I saw in the theater. I remember watching the first one and not being totally blown away (the night before seeing 2049). I remember waiting for my dad on my porch as he drove home to pick me up to see the film. This movie was my first profound theater experience, and I immediately came back home and watched the first again (Final Cut of course) and at that point, I understood it. Two of my favorite movies ever!
Haha I was the same, watched 2049 first, thought it was awesome and couldn't really compare it to the original, until I watched it again and it was suddenly all clear.
I just discovered this, literally just now. It's perfect. Just perfect. It took me right back to that feeling, the one I got when I first saw the film in the theater. I didn't think that would ever happen again, so thank you for this!
Hans Zimmer had a tough time continuing where Vangelis and his pure beauty of atmospheric sounds left off. But he nailed it all the way. As did the rest of the people involved in this mind-blowingly beautiful movie. I adore the original (all four cuts), but I also adore this one.

without a doubt in the top 5 sci fi or all time...the cinematography is a new benchmark....the sound tracks are legendary.... always my go to demo for HT....
How do you make a movie, decades from the original, years upon years of hype, and still make it pretty much equal to the original, distinct but also tying back to the original and keeping all the ambiguous elements of its ending. Absolutely brilliant. I mean considering the Star Wars sequels and Jurassic World, this is lightning actually striking twice.
I'm certainly not a musician but this selection and remembering how the music mentality gradually dragged me sonically into the plot.......Never has a soundtrack enhanced and helped a cinematic plot as this did! Well done.
The fact that this movie was just as much a masterpiece as the first makes me able to die a happy man someday. And somehow both films still stand on their own. I also can't express how happy I am that they made the right call (as in when they picked up the phone and called Hans Zimmer).
May not have been the best movie story wise but I’ll be damned if it isn’t the most gorgeous and well crafted piece of filmmaking. I was transfixed from beginning to end b

4:53 ... The brief moment of soft, light serenity - _before the tumultuous blasting-waves of sound ... And w/an epic blend (of sounds)_ ... Zimmer is amazing!
I love the sounds a lot, but Vangelis has something truly special in the musics that Hans Zimmer just simply didn't get close to. Vangelis is truly an out of this world composer, and as many stated, in the realm of Bach, Mozart etc
I loved the sputtering engine feel of the song as though a single prop WWII plane was spiraling back to earth while shooting for the stars. A beautiful yet hopeless effort to be something it cannot.
Thank you so much for the posting your mix of 2049/Sea Wall and your photoshopped image. They fit so well together, and I've had this on replay for the past two hours.
Hanz Zimmer is quite simply an international treasure. I've always admired his work but THIS work, coming behind the royal coat tails of Vangelis, had me very nervous before I heard it. I mean, who the #$%$ is gonna fill Vangelis' shoes? Certain Death! But Hans did something I thought wasn't humanly possible. He madea score as good, if not better, that the original. I am truly moved by every piece in this movie and he has done a heavenly justice to the movie and to the original score. Bravo sir... Bravo
Oh wow, this is amazing. I love to wake up on Friday come to work, put on my headphones and have my mind blown. Shamefully, I've never seen the film. I'll fix that tonight.
you sir did an amazing job i downloaded this so i can listen to it on my long drivers from phoenix to thatcher.... you make the ride so much more enjoyable now.
I'd have to be a poet in order for me to be able to put it into words what this soundtrack (and movie) means to me. It feels like it was handcrafted personally for me, as if every note knows my very being. This is my bible.
People were too hype about superheroes to understand this movie was ahead of its time.
I will never forget seeing this movie in an empty theatre.....on the midnight release.....on my birthday.....which is October 6th.
That's amazing.
I wish I could say the same. I did however see BR on opening weekend in 1982 at one of the newest theaters in my city.
All those moments will be gone like tears in the rain 😌

Feels so Vangelis like. That's what I love about Sea Wall theme.

Maybe that’s because of the sheer popularity of mainstream shonen manga adaptations but shows like attack on titan are really rare in this modern anime landscape. I know you said niche but I don’t know of any great recent niche anime.
I always come back to this soundtrack once in a while. There is something hauntingly beautiful about it can't explain in words..
One of the greatest sequels ever made. Everything so damn perfect. Blade Runner is my favourite film and this is next. Denis Villeneuve hammered the nail.
This is such a perfect fit for the movie. It is dark and mysterious, but also screams emptiness and solitude. Absolutely haunting
This song makes me soooo sad and anguished...but at the same time I'm addicted.
Hashim Rahman edgy as it sounds I agree. It’s definitely not a happy movie, but it is a hopeful one
Ryan Gosling's empty stare is heavy with emotions, he's got more or less the same empty hollow look all throughout the movie but this score adds waves of different emotions.... a good way to enjoy score like this is to get tipsy on something and stare blankly at the screen in a dark room ....
You realize he was blind, could only SEE through electronic EYES which floated around the room.
@@paulhunter1525 you're confused with Jared Leto's character
@@Guriezous99 Niander Wallace was blind? Confirmed anywhere? There's simply no reason for this in the world where technology is so advanced.
For me, Blade Runner 2049 questioned what it really meant to be human in this modern era - and whether love could exist for something illusory. If there were ever a scene of formidable sci-fi beauty, it had to be the love-making-cyber-threesome scene with the replicant blonde lady Mariette, overlaid with K's holographic girlfriend Joi. That was a work of artistic genius.
Mariette/Marrionette
@@radiobaked marionette....love the metaphor ;))
Kinda silly that you'd pick that scene, but I'm glad that they didn't go all explicit with it.
@@radiobaked SEIBA marionetto!
Joe and Joi - wouldn't it be something to find them living in some sort of San Junipero VR environment a couple of centuries out.
i totally love this artwork... so weird and calm and atmospheric.. there's something about i cant put in words
I like to imagine that there is an alternative reality where this film had a worldwide box office of +$800.000 and I got to watch in theaters
This tune gives a feeling of a world where man is hungry for spirituality that has been lost with the takeover of technology
truth; but technology is not the Embolism.
Were all hungry for spirituality in these moments in time but still lost to our technology!
👍 Yep!' Its true!' 🎶🔑
K, like Roy, lives a replicant but dies a human. It's not about the body, it's the soul and the deeds. That's what I love about these movies, the message in both.
Perhaps we wouldnt need to go that far ahead in time to feel as that.. I and many, many other started to feel such since a long..
My favourite scene, Sea Wall. The atmosphere is sooo thick!
Blade runner make such a believable future, everything makes so much sense, technology increasingly taking over our lives, losing any form of privacy while we enhance our bodies with said technology, it becomes unclear were the barrier of being a human lies, the world dying. and the soundtracks add so much more to that. when the first piano notes come you can really see this future world in your mind.
It's the ultimate question. What does it mean to be Human?
Just wait 28 years from now. Let's see what the world looks like. I think that things are going to start becoming more dystopian. You had a good observation of the film. Although, I don't see how it would ever be possible to have a conversation with to a hologram.
@@philiphymel19 well you dont have a conversation with a hologram, you talk with whatever is projecting it. it's not much more complicated then siri, google home etc. It just needs to be able to tell apart voices so it knows who it is that is talking. But even that technology is pretty far in developement already.
One of the greatest soundtracks of all time.
But for the first of course ✊
Best sequel ever made. Improves upon the original. Truly a masterclass in filmmaking.
Terminator 2 is the best siquel ever made.
@@RonsaRRR Terminator 2 is an amazing sequel like Aliens is, but deviates from the originals foundations.

The section starting at aroun 07:30 is just pure bliss. Like being in a room full of closed doors with each sound representing a door to paradise opening one after another.
And when 09:18 kicks in the floor just tumbles and you fly directly over eternity of life.
brilliant production
Anyone that posted a negative comment about this sequel clearly didn’t fully understand the first film and clearly doesn’t get Bladerunner! Watched this and it answered so many questions. Filled so many gaps and let me feeing emotionally attached to Bladerunner even more. Amazing film, amazing story and will stay with me forever.
please. "didn't fully understand the first film" if you didn't particularly like this one? I loved the first one when it came out and until recently, it was one of my all time faves, although some aspects haven't held up well. It still looks and sounds great. This has some of the problems of the first, although I think it looks and sounds even better. It's certainly the best score Hans Zimmer has been involved in. I credit Benjamin Wallfisch personally. However, there were a few overly blunt homages to the original - yes, callbacks fine, but not replicating (haha). The pace is too slow. It has way too much of a sense of its own importance. Gosling is ...ok. Batista acted him off the screen in the first 10 minutes. As did most of the principal cast. Although I have no idea why anyone casts Jared Leto these days, if they want acting. The scenes with Ford dragged on too long. I didn't mind the slight plot twist, but wow the ending was incredibly clumsy. Introduce an entirely new bunch of people, barely say anything about them, btw, the "hero" isn't who you think it is, the end? The actual "hero" reminded me a little too much of John Travola in The Boy in the Plastic Bubble - it was just a bit too twee. I gave it a bare B minus - for the cinematography, music, effects and much of the acting. Shame about the plot, really, although it had a great premise.
Saw this gem 5 times in IMAX, my life is complete.
so I watched Arrival back in 2016, I didn't know anything about Villeneuve other than he made this sci-fi masterpiece film about contact with aliens but in such a profound and meaningful way but most importantly in a different manner -not your typical sci-fi flick- soon after, I found out he was in the works with Alcon entertainment to bring Blade Runner's sequel to reality, I flipped! couldn't wait for it, I saw it on my birthday October 2017 and it has been one of the most spectacular cinematic experiences I'll ever live, and now he's behind Dune's realization, a story/movie many others have condemned as "unfilmable", being the director behind one of the greatest films ever made -Blade Runner 2049- I think he will surprise us and take us to a a new level of experience and visuals for this one.
Have you seen The Arrival?
Villeneuve is one of my fav directors. His other films are just as good - Enemy, Prisoners and Sicario. Arrival was a fantastic, intelligent sci-fi film, and Blade Runner 2049 is a masterpiece.
@HRH President of Tattooine think hes referring to the old Arrival with Charlie Sheen
@HRH President of Tattooine checking out the new BT-16
And now the biggest and best "unfilmable" project of all, Dune. I'm so excited
Insanely good transition. I was eagerly waiting for Sea Wall and then suddenly realised it has already started
Most people don't understand why we love Blade Runner .. The music completes the visual colossus of abysmal infinitude.
This may be the only movie where I will need to rent a theater when I need to watch it again.
I get the chills everytime when 5:07 comes up :O These wide deep, kind of evil base sweeps, beautiful :D

Still listening to this to this day, and every time I listen to it. I always enter this mindset and think of things I'd never thought of before. I think of the beauty of all things in life for some reason. I don't really know why I get in this mood when listening to this, but it is truly something beautiful and unexplainable.
Thank you for the insightful comment, T-posing carl
I went 3 times into IMAX and Blade Runner was the best acoustic cinema experience of my lifetime. The whole cinema became a vibrant room and i felt like shifting to another world. A shame this movie didnt get the attention it should have become as the first movie
Possibly my favorite movie; there are very few other contenders. Anyway, I just realized that the sea walls have to be there to stop rising sea levels and extreme storms, all consequences of global warming. I love that this movie doesn't always tell you something, it just shows you and moves on and you hopefully won't catch it the first time, because then you're feeling what it's like to be introduced to an unfamiliar world. You aren't from this time and place, so you shouldn't always understand it, and something a little out of place that your mind ignores, might upon second glance be revelatory. And a movie that has meaningful touches that you miss, is a movie where things feel real. Because real life is rarely spectacular. In real life, one gets a sense from things "Yep. That's supposed to be there. So?". That's also the nature of a well-designed product, by the way. A world feels real when it can fade into a background.
That's why I like the visuals for The Expanse theme for the first season, because it shows how global warming affected Earth without saying it out loud, and you find out indirectly.
@@pyrania6828 Global warming is making the earth greener and evaporating water into the upper atmosphere to condense as rainfall. So actually the "warming" is having a net positive effect on the earth. Warmth = rain water = more green = more food = more food.
Why do you think the first thing they want to do to create an atmosphere on Mars is to nuke the polar caps.
The at the most recent report from NASA about the greening of the earth. Ocean levels aren't even rising because so much moisture is evaporated in the upper atmosphere.
Global warming isn't that simple, it warms parts of the Earth up and cools other parts down. For example, the Gulf Stream is slowing down by nearly 80% due to global warming disturbing the thermohaline layer in the ocean. The only reason why England and Ireland can support a large population is because of the Gulf Stream running up the coast due to the Coriolis effect and bringing tropical water with it. If it slows down all the way, the climate in northern Europe would turn far colder and large amounts people would die. Also, the ice caps on Mars are mostly dry ice and frozen volatiles, and nuking them is going to have massive effects all across Mars, mainly fallout due to the high number of nuclear groundbursts. Only Elon Musk wants to do that, for obvious reasons. Even if we did melt all the ice caps, its going to at most create a global puddle 1 meter deep.
I'm an ecologist, by the way.
@@pyrania6828 dam, so living in Britain will be impossible very soon. :/
Or the snow in June, at first I was like?? but then I was like OH!
Experiencing Bladerunner in movie theater was one of the best decisions of my life.
P.S. I watched this movie with my classmates, and only a few of them truly understood a real value of the film.
During the movie session I was sitting being entirely drawn to the priceless image of Bladerunner.
Those fkers at AMC should have chosen BR2049 as one of their Classics to get people back in theaters. What ere thinking!!!!
The 80's was a great decade for scifi, but goddamn, the 2010's was an underrated decade for the same reason.
Not just Blade Runner 2049, but also Arrival, Annihilation, Interstellar & Aquaman.
Yes, Aquaman is a great movie, sue me.
Annihilation wasn't all that great, and neither was Arrival. Arrival was like a poor imitation of Contact. Annihilation had some promise but how the extradimensional entity was "defeated" didn't make a whole lot of sense.
@@billywashere6965 Arrival is a complete masterpiece
@@billywashere6965 Lost me at Interstellar... can we talk about BRUTAL HYPE? Watching that movie felt like I was on beta-blockers, totally dead inside.
@@johncaccioppo1142 The problem was how stilted the experience was, much like many of other Nolan's pictures. It didn't feel like it captured the all-encompassing beauty and mystique that stretches the vaccuum of space. Then again, Inception had a very similar problem, it was a technical masterpiece as far as structure and composition was concerned, but it was an absolute failure when it came to capturing the ethereal and almost liquid nature of dreams. It was too concrete and not abstract enough. Videodrome did a much better job of blending psychosis with reality, same as At The Mouth Of Madness, where it was difficult to tell what was real and what wasn't within the framework of the story.
@@billywashere6965 Ah yes Mouth of Madness, I still need to see that, thanks for reminding me!
I guess dreams have taken many forms for me over the years. Sometimes they are about being chased or murdered, usually they are about buildings that sprawl. Rarely is there a discernable story and the characters usually turn into me, and then I turn into them.
I don't think any movie about any dream would ever surprise or fully fill me with the awe of a real dream though.
The music from K chasing Luv to the subsequent fight scene had me totally transported into the film first time I saw 2049. Those hard electronic sounds @5:00 is some of my favorite work in the soundtrack. Well done extending this
Holy shit, the transition is seamless. These are my two favorite songs from the amazing score. Thank you!
You are very welcome, thank you!
@@andymecca1496 Awesome transition indeed! 2:37 is gold!
Thank you.
Did you buy the two,and feel really abused? I did. 1996
My two favourites too
I imagine the Grim Dark world of Warhammer 40K, we're flying in an Imperial Guard Valkyrie with open side hatches (like a Huey Helicopter), along side the outside a Hive City, at high speed, yet it hardly feels like we're travelling because the Hive City is so impossibly vast. Absolutely wonderful.
The soundtrack of 2049 gives me goose bumps. Scary and beautiful.
Who dislike this. bcoz they never seen a miracle.......
They haven't seen things you people wouldn't believe.
@@DrForrester87 Nice witty remark from both the BR movies. 👍🎶🗝❤
It was luv
God this scene was cathartic, watching K choke out Luv was damn satisfying.
With right and left hand
I remember finding it quite sad, I felt bad for both K and Luv and wanted them to both succeed, if only their goals weren't opposed to one another.
The score is what pulled me in and kept me at the edge of my seat not wanting the film to stop.
Film of the Decade
EVERY SINGLE PERSON in that imax theater was in utter fucking shock and awe when the WHOOLEEE MOVVIEEE shook our very skin and minds!!!! it's like we were on another plane of existence. it was fucking FANTASTICQ!!!!!! that feeling THAT FEELING!!!! holy shit!! i wish i could share that with all of you!!
I even saw people tear up at how EPIC the shock and awe inspiring this movie was! like a happy fantastic memory tear, not sad tears! I WANT TO RELIVE THAT!!!
This movie was frickin' rough man, but stunning simultaneously
They definitely did the original justice
You know, despite not having too much action in this movie, the action it has is actually pretty awesome! The movie for the most part is slowly paced, but then the Sea Wall comes in and it’s so adrenaline-pumping! I was like “YES! YES!” when I first watched this scene. I’d low key love to see an action movie in the Blade Runner universe 👀
I was fourteen when this hit theaters. One of my first more adult films I saw in the theater. I remember watching the first one and not being totally blown away (the night before seeing 2049). I remember waiting for my dad on my porch as he drove home to pick me up to see the film. This movie was my first profound theater experience, and I immediately came back home and watched the first again (Final Cut of course) and at that point, I understood it. Two of my favorite movies ever!
Restores my faith in future generatiions...
Your dad should be proud.
I'm really glad you had this experience. a special moment in your life indeed!
Haha I was the same, watched 2049 first, thought it was awesome and couldn't really compare it to the original, until I watched it again and it was suddenly all clear.
I love just sitting here with headphones turned up and my eyes closed. Letting my imagination run away away with random visuals to match the music.
One of the greatest movies I have ever seen. A masterpiece.
This film was literally a perfect sequel to the original watching them back to back has been a yearly tradition
I just discovered this, literally just now. It's perfect. Just perfect. It took me right back to that feeling, the one I got when I first saw the film in the theater. I didn't think that would ever happen again, so thank you for this!
That’s awesome :)
Hans Zimmer had a tough time continuing where Vangelis and his pure beauty of atmospheric sounds left off.
But he nailed it all the way. As did the rest of the people involved in this mind-blowingly beautiful movie.
I adore the original (all four cuts), but I also adore this one.

This is a perfect edit and mix! The transition from 2049 to Sea Wall is so natural! Thank you for this!
How do you make a movie, decades from the original, years upon years of hype, and still make it pretty much equal to the original, distinct but also tying back to the original and keeping all the ambiguous elements of its ending. Absolutely brilliant. I mean considering the Star Wars sequels and Jurassic World, this is lightning actually striking twice.
I'm certainly not a musician but this selection and remembering how the music mentality gradually dragged me sonically into the plot.......Never has a soundtrack enhanced and helped a cinematic plot as this did! Well done.
The fact that this movie was just as much a masterpiece as the first makes me able to die a happy man someday. And somehow both films still stand on their own. I also can't express how happy I am that they made the right call (as in when they picked up the phone and called Hans Zimmer).

4:53 ... The brief moment of soft, light serenity - _before the tumultuous blasting-waves of sound ... And w/an epic blend (of sounds)_ ... Zimmer is amazing!
I love the sounds a lot, but Vangelis has something truly special in the musics that Hans Zimmer just simply didn't get close to. Vangelis is truly an out of this world composer, and as many stated, in the realm of Bach, Mozart etc
I loved the sputtering engine feel of the song as though a single prop WWII plane was spiraling back to earth while shooting for the stars. A beautiful yet hopeless effort to be something it cannot.
Sometimes, I just sit and listen.
Those are good times.
Saw this movie again yesterday on my 9.2.4 home theater setup - blew me away
Thank you so much for the posting your mix of 2049/Sea Wall and your photoshopped image. They fit so well together, and I've had this on replay for the past two hours.
You’re very welcome! Thank you! :)
Such a simple image yet so profound, the music gives it an unimaginable depth. Natures colliding.
Perfect sound aesthetic. I was so lucky to get to work on the actual CG wall in the new film.
Really? Wow. That's incredible.
That film was BADMANITY at it's height. BEST SCIFI of the 21st century! And hats off to Hans Zimmer and Benjamin Wallfisch, amazing music.
This is the most gripping part of the film,remember play it very loud ✊
This score on a rainy day in a crowded city compliments your depression in such a satisfying way 👌
Hanz Zimmer is quite simply an international treasure. I've always admired his work but THIS work, coming behind the royal coat tails of Vangelis, had me very nervous before I heard it. I mean, who the #$%$ is gonna fill Vangelis' shoes? Certain Death! But Hans did something I thought wasn't humanly possible. He madea score as good, if not better, that the original. I am truly moved by every piece in this movie and he has done a heavenly justice to the movie and to the original score. Bravo sir... Bravo
Oh wow, this is amazing. I love to wake up on Friday come to work, put on my headphones and have my mind blown. Shamefully, I've never seen the film. I'll fix that tonight.
what a gorgeous picture, i love it
Congratulations for the artists who make this music so awesome. It is so grippy and dreaming. I love you guys. Thank you.
