As I feared, a static, empty & clinical look just like Blade Runner 2049. This could be from a shot from Star Wars. I would have preferred rich layered action & organic compositions with a real sense of depth. https://twitter.com/dunenews/status/1249664959321124871
I wrote several times about my dislike of BR2049 cinematography. Masterful work, no doubt, but stylistically I can’t.

I don't understand the approach of taking the liveliest, richest, most vibrant visual worlds ever imagined only to reduce them into an exercice of minimalism, brutalism & generic design, stripping them of their essence.
I respect Villeneuve's original work, not this, not twice.

The last great sci-fi movie using visual storytelling was Fury Road.
It stinks metal & petrol, filled with broken faces, grime, dust & dirt, crazy grandiloquent characters & insanely creative action sequences supported by perfect editing & some of the best production design.

Since then science fiction has been riddled with clean manicured actors sporting the most generic padded armors straight out of cosplay conventions & posing like banal superheroes. Where are the sweat, the bad skin, the dust entering the pores, the bodies hardened by harsh lives?
