Bureaucracy is the real monster.

That rare sequel that improves on the original, Blade Runner 2049 is film-making at its finest. Skillfully directed, masterfully shot, with exceptional production design and great casting; this film is destined to be a cult-classic and deserves a place among the Science Fiction genre's brightest stars.
Just like the first film, everything hits just right. The cast, the score, the visuals are all outstanding. Above everything else, the screenplay does something extraordinary. It conveys the abstract concepts of the novel’s second half, which has never been adapted well, in a way that is not only more captivating than Dune: Part One, but maybe even the novel itself.
Also, Zendaya gives one her best, if not the best, performances of her career.
