Blade Runner 2049

In the rare sci-fi sequel that takes its time to go deep, 'Arrival' director Denis Villeneuve picks up 30 years after the stylish cult classic left off, engaging with the existential concerns of androids.

The sights are staggering, yet the real triumphs of Blade Runner 2049 are beautifully low-key. Carla Juri injects real magic into a heart-breaking, dream-weaving scene; Sylvia Hoeks rivals Rutger Hauer as Luv, the ass-kicker with terrifying tears; and Ana de Armas brings three-dimensional warmth to a character who is essentially a digital projection.
