Theres not a lot you can say about the new Blade Runner, except that its even better than the original, which is considered one of the greatest science-fiction films of all time.

What Ridley Scott built in the first movie, director Denis Villeneuve turns into another masterpiece. You can shuffle through whatever phrases youd like: tour de force, pice de rsistance, the Ford Awakens.

Ill try to get a bit more specific, but everything from the first scene to the last is a spoiler. Theres even a little text on screen just setting up exposition that Id love to tell you about, but nah. If I said anything, Warner Bros. would own my life or something. Im not exactly sure.

The studio is so anxious about potential spoilers getting out that it made critics at the screening sign an NDA. From my experience, thats atypical. But I just signed my life away like it was an iTunes service agreement because who has time to read those? I have to jam to sick beats immediately. After the screening and the NDA, the publicist then followed up with a phone call to additionally tell me everything I couldnt talk about in interviews with the cast.

I got my call while at Cracker Barrel. They have breakfast all day, so they have me all day. I learned pretty quickly that when a heated game of checkers is going on behind you and the lemonades a-flowin, its pretty hard to hear there. Thankfully, I already knew what couldnt be discussed: Everything.
