The thing about Denis Villeneuve movies is that they are original science fiction. People are misleaded and have very little knowledge about science fiction. Even though the story is adapted from a novel, the way he portrayed the dystopian world with the post-apocalyptic, fabril and biopunk elements was awesome. As a student of science fiction, the movie was very fascinating to me. We can observe the Biblical references throughout the movie. And do I even need to mention about Hans Zimmer?? Even after the movie is done, the music stays on your mind. It won't leave you. The screenplay was slow which is expected from the director. But whatever runs on screen seems so perfect. The music, the VFX, the acting and direction, everything seems so perfect. I am hyped up for the next part.

It's hard to articulate all the thoughts, but y'all remember when we used to be kids and watched Batman and lived the character for a few days? Cillian Murphy had a similar impact on me. Ludwig Göransson's score was perfect and will not let you miss Hans Zimmer. Screenwriting is something Christopher Nolan has mastered since Memento. Can we call Oppenheimer Nolan's best work? I'd say no! But this will be considered a film that is unique from the other films he has made. Can we call it Cillian Murphy's best role? A big yes! Because of the superhero movies, we often forget how great an actor Robert Downey is. As Lewis Strauss, he blew everyone's mind! Magnificent actors, Incredible storytelling and Engaging music. A simple 8/10. The only complaint is the run time. I felt like 15 mins from the court room drama can be trimmed.

I thought music and comedy were the only things this movie could offer, but Greta Gerwig had other plans. It's not the rib-tickling jokes that impressed me. It's not the foot-tapping music that impressed me. The movie serves its purpose by showing the life of stereotypical Barbie, but it also shows the ideas of feminism, humanitarianism, and how people are brainwashed with the wrong ideas. It was the philosophy of life they showed that made an impact. No wonder Ryan Gosling said it's the best story he's heard. The first half of the story felt kid-ish, but the second part was wonderful! Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, Simu Liu-everyone did a great job. If you missed LaLa Land in theaters, this is your chance. 7.5/10.
