Blade Runner 2049 currently dominates Enemy 70–30
Deakins' spectacle pulls 2049 ahead.
The Verdict Director's Cut
When Blade Runner 2049 leads, it's craft on a scale almost no one attempts anymore. Deakins won his Oscar for it and you can see why in every frame — the orange dead zone of Vegas, the drowned brutalism of Los Angeles, a sequel that dares to be slower and stranger than the film it follows. Enemy is the more concentrated nightmare, and per minute it may unsettle more. A modest edge to 2049 says a viewer was swept up by sheer visual ambition, by a blockbuster confident enough to move at the speed of thought. Enemy gets in and out in ninety minutes. 2049 earns its three hours by making every one of them look like nothing else in movies.
