Also just back, IMAX in Glasgow.
I dont really have words yet- stunning, just stunning. In every way. Ryan Gosling can actually act and is very very good indeed. I’m convinced. Visually- I’ve never seen anything like it. And yet it looks like Blade Runner…..go figure.
All I can really say is that they built a believable world based on Blade Runner and our own world, with logical and consistent extrapolations to a world 30 years later. And a plot that unites the 2 eras wonderfully, with enough resonance for fans of the original and (I think) those who’ve never seen the first one. You could live in this world.
And the dialogue is just fantastic. The writers made it all sound right and the actors made it pay off, all of them.
Dare I say it….as good as, if not better, than the original and I think a new high watermark, certainly for science fiction.
At one point, I became self-conscious as my jaw had been hanging open, jaw dropped, for about 10 minutes. But then forgot all about it as something else jaw-dropping started happening.
