Breathtaking, Beautiful, Desolate

Rating: 8/10 (9 February 2020)

Dennis Veuville has nailed it with a long awaited sequel to the Sci-Fi classic Blade Runner. With unique and top class production design and a great performance from Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford, 2049 paints a picture of a beautiful but desolate future where replicants live alongside humans with tension between the two. Joe played by Ryan Gosling is a replicant trying to find a place in the society he lives in with secrets to uncover about his past.
The whole atmosphere this movie creates is bleak, pristine and stunning with production design so detailed and meticulously crafted with so much thought and planning going into the style and identity of the world of this movie. It has to be the best worldbuilding of 2017 in a movie that's for sure, and the musical score hits all the right emotional tones that the world of the movie conveys, bleak, cold, unforgiving. 2049 is a work of art in the Sci-Fi genre and is a new milestone in what can be done with it. The best sequel in a very long time
