I loved the visual and sound design of this movie, the ornithopter design was awesome I agree. I kinda wish they just made the movie like the newer mad max though. Cut everything but the action and cgi scenes and don’t really spend much time setting up plot, just let the weird specificity of the universe speak for itself. I dunno I am sorry if this comes off like a huge dig at the movie.
Dig all you want, i just wanna say that I am in the completely opposite camp. Minimal action is my jam from Villeneuve. The more like Arrival the better. IMO he is a master at just setting up vibes and tension. I could probably watch three hours of desert landscape shots if directed by him.
I can almost assure you that the second half of the book and thus the second movie is gonna be a lot more of what you are looking for though.
