A visual treat

Rating: 8/10 (8 October 2017)

While it's a tad bit too long, this sequel is a modern cinematic tour de force. The special effects are visually stunning and the "reverberating" background score, although reminiscent of other popular science fiction movies, blends very well with the cinematic experience. All cast members have done an exceptional job. Ryan Gosling's performance was especially laudable, as he has literally carried the story through his glowing presence in almost every frame of the movie. The subtlety in emoting was very nicely laid out by the director and superbly handled by the actors. Overall, the movie very subtly, yet beautifully underscores the essence of "being human" and delivers a complete package.
