The problem with it looking too clean isn't that it lacks film grain. It's about texture, set decoration, shot composition and mainly just design.
Here's a piece of concept art for Blade Runner 2049
Compare it with Syd Mead's work from the original.
I know neither actually represents what the movies look like, but it shows the amount of thought that went into the little details. And [that to me is representative of the difference in visuals between the two films.
Villeneuve's Blade Runner trailer shows little ambition visually. There's no spectacle to any of it. It's 2017, we can do anything with computers. I wanted to see Syd Mead's cityscapes fully realized in a way that made me feel like it was a real place, and I didn't get any of that from the trailer.
