Stand back, professionals at work.
The water effect wasn’t enough (water=rebirth, the subsequent shots of the water surrounding the platform, and the birth of a replicant, and the splash of water), the light shifted through the shot, recalling the theme of right-to-left moving lights throughout both movies, moving at the same pace, no less.
The color tones, and the architecture of the replicant creators’ lairs match. 2049 was, of course, a love letter to the original. And, it’s one of my favorite movies, in spite of featuring Jered Leto.
The majority of the sets and costumes in 2049 looked incredibly sterile and cheep. I didn’t believe the characters nor the world that they were living in.
i don’t get the jared leto hype. he makes everything he appears in a little bit worse
I don’t think there’s much positive hype around him anymore. I look past his role in this movie.
yea, the movie is fantastic, regardless of leto, as you said
Except for Fight Club. Seeing his Pretty-boy face getting totally ruined was pure gold!
“i wanted to destroy something beautiful”
yes, great scene
The only good thing you can say about Leto being in 2049 is that at least he nailed how creepy that character should be. Pardon me, I need to go shower in scalding water now.
