Really loved looking through all the concept art and reading about all the artists/art movements that influenced this movie though there's a couple things that took it down a star for me. Whilst I look forward to checking out the special features once the film arrives on home video, Ramin Zahed’s art-book goes into great detail about how the filmmakers achieve in creating so many layers behind the look of the film, such as the multiple dimensions and the many, many characters that inhabit them.

In creating a thoroughly modern hero with Miles, the filmmakers talk about why this character means a great deal, in terms of diversity and representation. SO hard to keep track of what’s being said, there are plenty of unfinished sentences that goes for pages incomplete. After devouring the special features on the Blu-ray, I still need to know more and six months after the film's initial release, I picked up the coffee table art book.

The final result is a perfect achievement on both those tasks, leading to see it five times at the cinema and umpteen times on 4K.
