The most scientific fiction of the 80's in the XXI century

Rating: 10/10 (28 October 2017)

The continuation of the spectacular, "Blade Runner" of 82 achieves an unthinkable feat, to be as good, if not better, than its predecessor, with a great script, good performances and a perfect art direction, Denis Villeneuve can do it again, we had already enchanted with "The arrival" last year, now he makes us fall in love with his film, for those who like science fiction it is impossible not to love his new work, which is the best science fiction film of recent years, surpassing until his great " arrival". The Blade Runner 2049 script does everything a good fiction has to do, think a concept of the future alienated to the present bringing with it a critique and a message, the film had everything to have a continuation with a forced script, but not , is a very clever script that brings a new concept alienated what we saw in the first, full of surprises and incantations. Bringing an extremely sexualized future, perhaps inspired by the future of "Mechanical Orange", and with many oriental influences in that future, perhaps because of the great economic and population domination that China has been taking, we do not have a beautiful and dazzling future, it is somber, dirty , without life, where the entertainment and the sex and the search of any relation with something real is the objective of life, is a future that puts in check our actions in the present, to where the world already is polluted too much, forcing an exodus causing social discomfort, where brands and companies exercise more than financial and political power, but a social power, although none of this is dealt with directly in the film, but all that is there, on the scene, in the interactions, in all, the future shown in blade runner is not something unpublished - Even because its predecessor does it - but the way it is shown is perfect and viceral. In the technical part, "Blade Runner" is a spectacle, with few special effects, but incredibly vivid and absurdly beautiful scenarios, the direction of art and photography of the film are perfect, it is a contrast of pure mastery dazzle with a depression surrounding the film, it's a palette of dark colors, and it looks like the scenarios look even more vivid and grandiose, and it looks like we're watching a movie from the '80s in 2017, and that's not a bad thing as it gives an inexplicable charm to new villeneuve film not only in photography, but in the direction of art in general, even the buttons, screens, machinery, technology concepts are those applied in the films of the 80's, "Blade Runner is already born a classic" and is right indication in the next Oscar in the category of photography, art direction and even costume, since almost all his characters have their own personality oppressed in the costumes in tiny details, and that the cruelty of the future does not open the full individuality of the costumes, and this is well portrayed in the film, and we can not fail to mention its great soundtrack, which is not grand or epic, it is synthetic, discreet, almost nostalgic, tacky and at times talk with the photograph of the film. Although the film contains a magnificent cast, we have no performance that jumps to the eye, but we also have nothing to spoil, Ryan Gosling is well as replicant, manages to be centered, indifferent and at the same time pass small feeling, Harrison Ford has a presence of absurd tel, when the same appears is impossible to notice in anything other than him, moreover, his recent laps to his classic characters makes everyone die of nostalgia and loves, save a highlight for the great Robin Wright, who seems who still does not leave House Of Cards, but this combines with his character, Sylviac Hoek, who as Ryan performs his role beautifully, and also to Ana de Armas, who with his hologram demonstrates its incredible beauty that we believe is a hologram, in addition to making numerous metaphors about virtual love and loving discoveries, and the great Jared Leto, who despite having a great costume and having incredible designs in his offices, their performance does not convince or excite. Denis Villeneuve is filming another great film, for me the director is already a natural successor to the great Ridley Scott, and if Denis finishes his career tomorrow, he would already be consecrated. Finally, contemplate one of the best films of the year, a more than worthy continuation to one of the greatest and best science fiction films of all time, well acted, well scripted, well directed, I can not point out a weakness in the film and yes to praise and applaud standing.
