100% entertaining and great to look at with a breakneck speed.
The sandstorm is visually stunning. Reminded me of Blade Runner 2049 even.
Those opening credits are insanity by the way!

Obviously kind of a WTF movie but somehow finds ways to make it work and has some good moments and elements.
Zoey Deutch is going to be everywhere soon, she already kind of is it seems. Her character is not the most likable or realistic, yet she absolutely had some really stand out moments in this. She really sold especially the fight with her mom and the finale.
Moral ambiguity is interesting, but the movie doesn't really go into it…
Zero regrets about driving 400km to see this in 70mm. Got a little introduction about the history of 70mm film and some of its merits before the start. Very cool experience, including the overture and intermission to set the mood (didn't realize until now that intermissions aren't standard in the US, they are here).
This film obviously looked great, obviously has stellar dialogue and obviously has awesome performances. Scene after scene of trademark Tarantino suspense building until an explosion of spectacular violence breaks out, just to start building up to another.
Pretty much loved everything about it.
Hard to put a number down for this one. There's so much to love but also some elements I didn't like or made me need to rewatch this and the original to make sure.
In a lot of ways I might like it more than the original. They found a great way to make Gosling's character a lot more emotionally resonant than Deckard in the first. In other ways it confused me about Deckards relationships in the first and made…
