Blade Runner 2049 2017

Day 10 of Ryan Gosling Binge

One of the best sequels in the history of cinema. "Blade Runner 2049" is a monumental achievement in cinematic storytelling standing tall as not just as one of the best modern sequels but as a standalone masterpiece that will redefine the future of science fiction forever.

Villeneuve’s direction is nothing short of masterful, weaving a visually appealing and plot-deep story with ease. Reminiscent of its predecessor yet incredibly different, the film immerses the audience in a dystopian world filled with fantastic details and a tangible atmosphere Every frame is a work of art, and displays an art rarely seen on film.

The score by Hans Zimmer does a pivotal role in enhancing the premise and the atmosphere of the movie complementing the stunning visuals. Hans and Benjamin does a phenomenal job at capturing the bleak yet mesmerizing tone of the film further drawing the audience into the movie and immersing us in.

"K" played by Ryan Gosling is far well written than Deckard ever was in the first film, the depth of the character coupled with the emotional portrayal by Ryan elevates the character into unknown depths. The portrayal by Ryan may not seem much at first on the surface but his nuanced portrayal on a journey of self-discovery is intriguing as well as emotionally resonant elevating beyond the standard modern character. The supporting cast includes Harrison Ford reprising his role as Deckard who delivers equally compelling performance as he did in the first movie, adding more complexity to the character and the storyline as a whole.

"Blade Runner 2049" is more than just a sequel, it's a cinematic genre defining piece of modern art that should be displayed in art galleries.

In conclusion...Denis Willnevermiss is a legend.

Blade Runner 2049- 9/10
Ryan Gosling- 8.5/10
