Great artwork

Rating: 10/10 (11 October 2017)

Probably best serious movie of 2017.
It has the tone of Mad Max: Fury Road with almost no sense of humor (until what Harrison said about vodka). The movie can be quite slow; in fact, I saw several people walked out of the theatre within first 30 minutes of the movie.
But, the story line, cinematography, character explorations were just done superbly, and that's why I thought it was a great artwork. I only watched the original Blade Runner when I was a kid, and I didn't think it was that great. But, this Blade Runner was phenomenal; it really takes the viewers from day-to-day life to a future dystopian world (in a parallel universe where ATARI is still big, I guess there was a sense of humor in the movie beside Ford's remark after all) while asking a simple fundamental question; what is the meaning of being a human being.
I wish the director toned down the music, however. It's too loud and it's the same familiar solemn tone music you hear in Arrival & Inception, and it's getting a bit boring. In fact, I think it did disservice to this amazing movie by overdoing it. (Yes, I get it that the theater has amazing speakers and sub-woofers)
I guess theater owners may think you need this loud music to justify the high fees of IMAX, but the music was the only distraction for me.
If you are a movie lover, I highly recommend this movie; but, be patient to really enjoy this one. At the end of the movie, I thought I was fortunate to experience this amazing human art.
I would be surprised if the special effect guy does NOT get the academy award; it was amazing.
