blade runner 2049 open matte 4k hot

The Blade Runner 2049 Open Matte 4K is not available on Netflix, Disney+, or any streaming service. It is not on a commercial disc. Because of this scarcity, it has become a "hot" collectors’ item.

Is it the way Villeneuve intended every home viewer to see it? Probably not. But it is the version that most closely replicates the overwhelming IMAX theatrical experience.

The film takes place 30 years after the events of the first movie. (played by Ryan Gosling) is a new blade runner, an advanced police officer tasked with "retiring" (killing) rogue synthetic beings called replicants. One day, K discovers a long-buried secret that has the potential to plunge what's left of society into chaos.

: Most of these versions originate from an SDR 1080p source found on certain international television broadcasts.

The open matte version is favored by fans because it reveals more of the vertical frame compared to the standard widescreen theatrical release.
