Have you seen Blade Runner 2049? That movie has an excellent story. Very little dialogue was needed to tell it.

I think I'd rather point at the original Blade Runner. The sequel fell a bit short for me in comparison.

Ofcause that's just my opinion.

Villeneuve directed 2049. I would have said Dune but that was a book adaptation. Also I think 2049 was every bit as good as the original (admittedly not as genre-defining).

Blade Runner was also a book adaptation: 'Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep"

Although the movie does take some liberties with the source material.

But that aside, I felt 2049 kinda missed the point that BR tried to make by trying to adress the questions posed with a wildly simplified answer.

Philosophical conundrums are typically supposed to be thought about, not solved.

I disagree. 2049 was very pretty, but the story was kinda lackluster
