Here is my impressions of The Art and Soul Blade Runner 2049. I do find it appropriate that they put "Soul" in the title as I feel like they put some really good effort into this book.
This is not just a concept art book or photos from the movie. They actually took the time and made a behind the scenes book with pretty much every scene from the movie along with back story.
The book itself is very wide. I think around 14 inches. I believe this was done on purpose to highlight some of the incredible landscape views in the movie. Some images span 2 pages across allowing you to feel the scale. There is a good mix of concept art, story boards, set photos, promo shots, and lots of information on how scenes were set up.
I really enjoy the fact that they highlighted everyone's work on the film including the director, artist, actors, actresses, prop/makeup artists. aka the "soul" part.
The book it self feels like good quality. I'm not the best judge of paper quality, but it feels good and the colors really pop. One thing I do love is that the cover is actually the cover. There is no sleeve around a basic book. I'm not a huge fan of sleeves as they tend to get damaged easier.
Overall I am very happy with this book and look forward to diving more into it. I only paid 27$ through Barns and Noble online with a coupon code, but it's worth the 39$ price tag especially if you really enjoyed the movie/series. Amazon is out of stock of the regular version and I'm not sure I would go for 99$ collectors version.
Here are some pics. I'm going to put spoiler tags around them, but I don't feel like any of them are major spoilers from looking at them. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
