Blade Runner 2049
This past weekend I saw "Blade Runner 2049" in the theater (more on that later). If you have seen the original Blade Runner movie (released in 1982), you know that it features a brilliant electronic score, courtesy of the legendary Vangelis. The question was whether Vangelis would return for the long awaited sequel. As it turns out, he did not. In his stead, the producers engaged not one but two composers who know each other well: Hans Zimmer & Benjamin Wallfisch. They have previously also combined for the score to "Hidden Figures" last year. And of course they are solo film composers in their own right, with Zimmer being one the top Hollywood composers of this generation--check out his brilliant score for the recent "Dunkirk" as but one example of his rich catalog.
"Let's imagine how Vangelis would've done this", seems to be the motto or process by which Zimmer and Wallfisch composed this score. In that sense, the music is quite derivative but no less exquisite. Check out "Her Eyes Were Green", a romantic, almost wistful tune. "Sea Wall", on the other hand, is a full-throttle and epic 10 min. composition that is out of this world. "Tears In the Rain" is credited to Zimmer & Wallfisch, but is clearly taken from/inspired by the song of same name from the 1982 soundtrack. Then comes "Blade Runner", a 10 min. mini-suite that in essence captures the many themes heard earlier in the movie. it runs over the movie's end titles. This collection ends with a song called "Almost Human", sung by Lauren Daigle. Please note: this song is NOT featured in the movie. Frankly, it is nowhere as good as the score, and it's easy to see why this was not included in the movie.
As to the movie itself, given the cult status of the 1982 movie, and the 35 year wait, could the new Blade Runner possibly deliver the goods and live up to expectations? As it turns out, YES and YES. Director Dennis Villeneuve delivers a masterpiece that is complex, brooding and epic, yet while staying true to the spirit of the 1982 original. If you are expecting an "action sci-fi", you will be sorely disappointed, as "Blade Runner 2049" is not for anyone in a hurry. I thought it was bloody brilliant. "Blade Runner" both the soundtrack and the movie, is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
