Blade Runner 2049
A Modern Day Sci-fi Masterpiece!
Denis delivers a visual spectacle of masterful directing and beautiful cinematography by Roger Deakins. The film is a technical marvel with incredibly crisp sound design, amazing usage of colour and a euphoric score. The CGI and visual effects are also some of the best ever put to screen.
Powerful themes of identity and humanity, the character study of K is sublimly fleshed out and deeply complex. Also loved the emotionally satisfying conclusion for the Deckard character. Ryan Gosling delivers an intentionally quiet and subtle performance, while Ana De Armas and Harrison Ford are also great in their respective roles. Also, enjoyed Dave Bautista's small appearance.
There is so much intrigue and mystery in this film and Denis respects the audience by not holding your hand throughout the run time. I feel as though there's still so much to explore in this world.
I just love the atmosphere that this film creates. It just relaxes me and allows me to be transported and enthralled in this sci fi world.
I thought this movie was great the first time I watched it but I recommend everyone giving this a rewatch, as I found that I missed certain elements on first watch.
