5. Blade Runner 2049
How pretty can a movie get before it tries to literally steal your eyes? Blade Runner 2049 aims to answer that question.
Denis Villeneuve made a sequel that feels earned on every level. It's a follow up to the original's themes, using some incredible talents to make a one-of-a-kind movie. Ryan Gosling's cold, detached stare is practically his best resource as an actor as far as this movie and Drive are concerned. And Harrison Ford really gives this his all, showing he truly does care in a way that many of his recent performances haven't.
Like the first, it's a long, quiet movie, but we need more of those sometimes. It's the kind of film that left me paralyzed, staring at the screen as the credits rolled. I couldn't move, I was hypnotized by the atmosphere, the world, the storytelling on display.
This one isn't for everyone, but its target audience? It's gonna very much be their thing.
