The Ithacan

This week on Deja View, reviews editor Jake Leary sat down with staff writer Charlie Musante about “Blade Runner 2049” and decides whether Denis Villeneuve’s “Blade Runner” sequel lives up to the original’s legacy.

“Blade Runner” handles the idea of artificial intelligence better than most science fiction films. “2049” updates that idea for a new audience.

“Life” has all of the characteristics of a typical alien horror movie, and that is both a blessing and a curse.
