I received the 4K HDR blu-ray last weekend, and after a couple of views I think it's excellent
The original is still one of my all time favorites, so it was going to be tough to impress me, and difficult to remain faithful as a valid sequel, but it wins on both counts for me...I'm glad I bought the blu-ray as there is an awful lot more to glean from the film.
FWIW The first time I watched it I'd left the 'ambient light' setting on on my TV, however on the second view I watched it in the dark with the setting off, a much better 4K HDR experience...
Cheers, Will
Just going to watch it now, quiet at the back

Difficult to know if there's a touch of sour grapes, his observations are correct if you compare the two movies - but I don't think it was ever intended to be linear going from one to the other. Villeneuve has expanded on the original idea and explored a slightly different idea.
I love both films.

No love, no humour, no soul he says. K was very much in love with his digital girlfriend, the scene with the dog quaffing a bowl of whiskey made me laugh and the part with those deprived children certainly touched my soul.
Stick to improvising good end scenes Rutger.
