A tasteful rendition

Rating: 10/10 (27 December 2019)

When I saw BR 2049 in theaters for the third time, I sat next to a man who (during the movie) explained that Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets was a more enjoyable sci-fi experience and that BR 2049 was too long. He clearly wasn't stupid, he simply had different tastes and expectations.
For me however, Blade Runner has always represented the pinnacle of Sci Fi: so thoroughly encasing the viewer in a tastefully altered reality as to provoke specific questions about real life. In this respect, the sequel does not disappoint.
