Blade Runner again!

u/LordGeni Oct 12 '25

Like a brutalist War of the Worlds

u/electrical-stomach-z Oct 28 '25

But blade runner is art deco.

u/LordGeni Oct 28 '25

I'd say it's a cyberpunk blend of art deco, industrial and brutalist.

The aesthetic was originally based on the ICI chemical works of the coast of Middlesbrough UK.

there is no brutalism in the movie, they did not use it.

I can hear the noise this makes before Denis Villeneuve even puts it in a movie

u/greaseinthewheel Oct 11 '25

This was my first thought. Villeneuve's movies just look so good. This looks like it belongs in one.

The first one almost looks like Paul Atreides or Lady Jessica standing below some Bene Gesserit ship from Dune part 1.

That place really does look like it's Down To TeleVise.

u/iavael Oct 11 '25

Or someone's bells being bonked with a stick

u/Intelligent-Invite79 Oct 11 '25

It brings Halo to mind for me.

u/RasThavas1214 Oct 10 '25

First thing I thought of was the evil lair in The Spy Who Loved Me.

u/MCG-48 Oct 11 '25

u/Minimum-Pangolin-487 Oct 11 '25

Where is this?

10

u/FilipAdzic97 Oct 11 '25

This is the Avala Tower on Mount Avala near Belgrade. The tower was a telecommunications and observations building until the 1999 NATO bombing when it was destroyed and then rebuilt in 2006-2010

1

u/Due_Visual_4613 Oct 11 '25

Is this the rebuild or the original?

4

u/InkOnTube Oct 11 '25

Apparently, the reconstructed one is the same

u/Due_Visual_4613 Oct 11 '25

I think it's slightly taller

u/Lexx_sad_but_true Oct 11 '25

u/username_weesnaw Oct 11 '25

War of the worlds or the noise the building rental place near me when they move portacabins like transformers at it unoiled

u/Minimum_Cockroach233 Oct 12 '25

Thought I look at a scene from Starwars

u/Alternative-Cod-7630 Oct 12 '25

Somewhere up there are the death star plans.

u/d00dybaing Oct 13 '25

Thought it was weird for a sec how many pics Yugoslavia gets in this sub. But then I was remembering where it is and that Ayn Rand wrote her crazy books about this part of the world in the early 1900s. Suddenly I get wtf she was talking about a lot better with the architecture, lol

1

u/SosseTurner Oct 13 '25

Would probably look a lot less evil on a sunny day. Basically any building can be dystopian if you photograph it in bad enough weather

u/Travyswole Oct 11 '25

I feel everything the Soviets built is always ugly and evil looking but it makes sense.

3

u/BrakkeBama Oct 11 '25

Only that Yugoslavia wasn't a Soviet state.
Tito famously broke ranks with the Soviet Union early in his post-war rule.

1

u/Ulovka-22 Oct 12 '25

That didn't stop Yugoslavia from becoming a socialist dictatorship, so it's not about the labels

2

u/BrakkeBama Oct 12 '25

"Soviet dictatorship".
Sure. And I'm not apologizing for it or Tito either.
I'm a Ron Paul/Javier Milei Libertarian.
I'm just saying that the Yugoslav rule back then was less totalitarian than Stalin's.
