Creating another Blade Runner film has got to be a daunting task, but Denis Villeneuve rose to the occasion and absolutely knocked it out of the park with Blade Runner 2049. Villeneuve not only succeeded in making one of the best sequels of all time, but also his own masterpiece, a film that manages to stand on its own as much as it expounds upon the world and mythos of the of the Ridley Scott film that started it all. Accompanied by Roger Deakins' stunning cinematography, it's a film you can easily get lost in with regard to the visuals, and, like its predecessor, 2049 offers a fair amount of intellectual fat to chew on, so much so you'll likely leave the theater with a little fat between your teeth; though, admittedly, not as much as the 1982 masterpiece.
