Blade Runner 2049's best part is it's absolutely gorgeous cinematography. It's a really stunning depiction of grimy future capitalism.

That's not an attempt to be damning with faint praise. It's an intelligent, sci-fi movie that really respects its audience.

But between Villeneuve's direction and Deakins' cinematography, it just looks incredible. Pacing and framing both reminiscent of Tarkovsky.

I don't compare to Tarkovsky lightly. But certain shots definitely reminded me of Solaris and Stalker.

This, for example, felt very Tarkovsky.
