The Reasons Movies Exist

Rating: 10/10 (17 April 2018)

Growing up in an era of Sequel/Re-Boot/ and dumb action block-busters, I was somewhat nervous going into 2049. Thinking that it was going to be some action packed-explosion block buster with out the same themes or filming of the Ridley Scott classic 30 years prior. However, with the director of my favorite movie of 2013, Prisoners, Cinematographer Roger Deakins, and with Ryan Gosling after choosing some of the best scripts in recent years as the lead role, I was somewhat hopeful for this movie,....and after walking out of the theater....., I realized I did not just watch something, I just had an experience. Denis Villenuve has made one of the greatest looking movies ever made, and delivered a better character and plot driven story that expanded upon the themes of the last movie, if you feel the same way I do about this, then please tell everyone you know to go and buy a copy of this movie, due to the fact practically no one watched it in theaters. Because we NEED MORE FILMS LIKE THIS ONE.
