'Continuation' is the word that comes to mind with 2049. I didn't get the sense that it was trying to recreate the original film (*cough cough The Force Awakens) or completely detach itself, like Prometheus. It acted as a perfect continuation of the original film, building on the original themes such as being, slavery, and humanity, and introducing some new ones, the most interesting of which was procreation. It would have been easy for the film to get sucked into the past with Deckard's life after BR, but the movie remembers that Ryan Gosling' K is the heart of the film, and it's his inner conflict and ultimate conclusive ark that is the heart of the film. This for me is was the essence of the first Blade Runner, past the flying cars, neon lights and funky music. For that (and a lot of other stuff), I think the movie was a success. I give it an 8/10. Here is my review for the film, if you're interested: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJFv-r-enII

I love this review of the movie! The man speaks quickly but it's got closed captioning to make it easy to follow. His views are actually very well composed, even if you don't agree with him:
