BLADE RUNNER 2049 Breakdown | Ending Explained, Easter Eggs, Final Cut Differences, Hidden Details & Things You Missed. We breakdown Blade Runner 2049 and discuss every easter egg and reference to the first film. We also breakdown the ending, it's meaning and give a review of the film. This includes spoilers and an indepth analysis of the films themes and true meaning.
K so Blade Runner 2049 is up there as being one of my favourite sci-fi films of all time and I might even put it up there as being better than the original.
Yes I know that's blasphemy but Denis Villenuv created an incredible sequel that I think builds perfectly on the first film whilst also crafting its own story and characters that don't feel reliant on paying off things from the first film. It also manages to not anger fans by f**king up characters like Deckard and even things like whether he's a replicant or not are things that we don't get answers to.
It feels like there's real respect for what's come before and throughout this video I wanna go through the film scene by scene and point out all the easter eggs, hidden details and things you might not know about the world.
Now incase you missed our Blade Runner breakdown then there is a really interesting backstory to this world that doesn't really get touched upon in either films. The Blade Runner universe is post world war 3 in which chemical and nuclear warfare were used on the world and in the after math of it the planet was highly destabilised. Posionous toxins were injected into the atmosphere which killed most of the animals and a large number of humans were left with mutations and phsyical defects. For example the first film had JF Sebastian who we learned was rapidly aging.
