This film ticks every single box

Rating: 9/10 (2 April 2019)

Blade Runner 2049 directed by the master Denis Villeneuve is the sequel to the 1982 Blade Runner by Ridley Scott. This film ticks every single box. The cinematography by Roger Deakins is astounding. Every single shot in this movie is magnificent. This is the best looking movie I have ever seen. The screenplay is smart, creative and so unexpected, I was very impressed by the writing. Also the performances, mainly by Ryan gosling and Harrison Ford, were flawless. For a film set within a dystopian concrete city, it contains such strong emotion and deep social commentary at its core. Unfortunately I felt the runtime should have been shorter, so on rewatch, having seen the amazing visuals already, it may drag at times. Therefore I give Blade Runner 2049 a 9.
