I agree with you, but I didn't find BR 2049 visually appealing at all. Part of it is just rehashing the same stuff already seen in the original- just more artificial, less dirty and chaotic, with a monotonous palette. Looking at some low res clips from youtube I'm actually wondering whether it's the movie or just a videogame. And, as any videogame, it needs multiple levels with different environments: so the main character is wandering around, and each section of the movie is actually clearly delimited by a different palette- I guess some heavy-handed filter applied, instagram style: grey-greenish for the city, red for the desert, light orange for the interior of Wallace Corporation, blue-grey for the snowy place, etc. It's a videogame aesthetics, something that places itself comfortably in the "fantasy worlds" section of the current popular culture.
