The first artbook had more interesting content. This is all about production design and concept art, which I was excited about... until I saw most of the art was 3D renderings. Where there is the original concept art that was hand drawn, illustrating intent and ideas, it’s fantastic. Everything else fell flat for me. Not sad I got it, but as with the first one, it still feels like a mediocre effort for the specific mandate of each book.
The actual book is much better produced than the first one, though. The binding is way more sturdy and it has a dust jacket. Feels like better quality paper too, but I’m not 100% sure on that.

Edit:I read this again because I’m doing roll tables for Hack the Planet, this was very helpful in that regard. It articulated a lot of terminology I’m not privy in regards to building concepts and design, and related subject matter.
I wish it had more story elements and not worried about spoilers for the movie but what is there is very cool and interesting.

Every bit as pretty and pretentious as the movie, but graced at least with some compelling background on questions of production and design.
Así como el "Art & Soul" este libro nos lleva por detalles detrás de las ideas de una película que me sigue pareciendo una maravilla a la altura de la primera. Incluso esta vez menciona algunos elementos pensados para enlazar la Blade Runner de Villeneuve con la versión de Ridley Scott.

This book shows the incredible effort and thought that went into creating Blade Runner 2049 from everyone involved in the making of the film. There is years of hard work involved in creating what is technically just a few hours of entertainment, but transcends to be a timeless work of art.
I love both Blade Runner films, and I've been saving this book as a special treat. It's just too beautiful. It's the heaviest, largest-format "Art of" film book I've seen (and dangerous—it gave me a bad paper cut when I was about a third of the way through it), and the production quality is excellent. I especially love the big, two-page spreads of beautiful set photography by Stephen Vaughan. And of course the chance to see props and sets up close is a real treat. Tanya LaPointe's text provides helpful explanations of the images, supplemented with comments from the cast and crew of the film.
This makes me very eager for volume 2, coming later this year. I'm grateful for the film, and for this book that lets me move around in that world a little more. (And of course I'm grateful for my beautiful wife, who bought me the book—thank you, sweetheart!)
