Blade Runner 2049 Asks: Are We All Going To Hell?
October 14, 2017 by SkyWatch Editor
This is a story set in an apparently Godless universe, and it’s one that’s almost – but not quite – bereft of hope. That glimmer remains in the possibility of rebellion, liberation and redemption… but not for humanity. And perhaps the whole film, like the dystopian genre as a whole, offers a loud warning not to let this story unfold in reality. After watching it, you’re thankful to be able to step outside into a world where trees, birds and relatively clean air still exist. At this point, the Blade Runner universe is still a nightmare that we can wake up from.
