Blade Runner 2049 (2017)
In every way, Blade Runner 2049 is an astonishing film. You could watch it with the sound off and visually take it one of the most beautifully shot films of the past twenty years. Or, turn the sound on and you will experience one of the best science-fiction films of all time. No, I am not going to get into debating whether this is better than the original or not. However, 2049 is one of the rare examples of a sequel (35 years after the original no less) that does not exist solely to return to a beloved story to make money, but one that very much has its own story to tell - one that is complete and moving and profound, while also expanding upon (and elevating) the lore and themes of the original.
I think credit must firstly be given to the combination of director, Denis Villeneuve, writers, Hampton Fancher (who also wrote the original) and Michael Green, and cinematographer, Roger Deakins. Without any of these individuals the film would very likely not be as exemplary as it is. It really is remarkable how successfully the story of this film builds directly off of the original's (which was a complete package unto itself and bearing no grand loose ends). 2049's thematic core directly follows from the centre of the original, as well as Philip K Dick's foundational novel. Both films are built upon the question of what it means to be human - while the original asked whether a human could be a replicant (aka an android), 2049 inverts this question and asks whether a replicant could be considered a human. It is Agent K (Ryan Gosling), a replicant cop, who is tasked with trying to answer this question, which is of particular personal value to him. Like the original, the mystery is structured and presented in the noir style - the stoic detective (here,very much complimenting Gosling's acting style), the love interest(s), the often-stunted dialogue and exposition, the heavily shadowed compositions, and the unraveling and circular mysteries.
