Blade Runner 2049 - Villeneuve overcame my expectations
Yesterday I watched the best science fiction from this year, Blade Runner 2049. The sequel of the classical from the 80s overcame my expectations even though I knew Denis Villeneuve, one my fav filmmakers from the new generation of directors, would be stunning on the direction of this contemporary masterpiece. What I recommend is to watch the feature in the biggest theatre room possible in 3D and at the first roll of chairs because the film is so fucking immersive and this conditions will just improve your experience. Just be careful to babies crying and people you hate by your side (unfortunately these things appeared to bother me).
VILLENEUVE GENIUS
Firstly, I'd like to say that I saw the movie without watching the short films available, so I don't know pretty well the pre-plot of the film. The plot itself is really simple, Tyrell went bankrupt just like their replicants, so another Corp, Wallace, decided to take over some assets from Tyrell and produces Replicants who obey and some of them work in LAPD as, guess what, Blade Runners (Mind Blow number 1) and one of them, K (Ryan Gosling) finds out during a job that a Replicant had a baby and is his mission to figure out who this particular child is.
Earlier I mentioned that I was concerned this sequel would be unnecessary and it should ruin Villeneuve's career, but he overcame all my expectations. In an age of jump cuts and pyrotechnics in science fictions (coff...coff, Michael Bay), Blade Runner 2049 has a moderate and wise use of CGI and we can DO count to three before the next cut, opposing this current trending and is still one of the most thrilling movies of 2017 and was the first movie that blowed my mind in ages.
Technically speaking, the film is almost flawless, only one script hole bothered me. Roger Deakins' cinematography takes advantage from the "Future Noir" concept that was created in the first movie (even though this one isn't Noir-er) and I think THIS TIME he wins the Oscar, after 13 fails. The Original Score is probably the biggest collaboration between composers and it DO reminded me the psychedelic atmosphere created by Vangelis in the 80s, the art design is unwelcoming but spotless and very authentic, the performances are great and this is the redemption Jared Leto was seeking, because he has small role, but we think he's always in scene. Less but not least, Villeneuve's trademark, the subjectivity, adds the spice that was missing in the movie, principally at the ending of the movie.
Blade Runner 2049 is as philosophical as the first feature and as immersive too, has a great vision of the future know that we know communication is the industry that is developing the most (I can't wait to see a real Joi) and is mind blowing. Gives dozens of references from thie first movie and some questions that won't be answered (there won't have more sequels), but it's only a well-made point to the public. Surely the movie will become a classic in the future. 9.8/10
