A big disappointment

Rating: 5/10 (11 October 2017)

In a futuristic world where people could be replicated into superior but emotionless beings through bioengineering, a character known as Blade Runner is assigned to find and kill the replicas. He's involved in a deep mystery regarding some of them who infiltrated among the humans' earth, proving to have a hard time eliminating them.
It's a movie which presents a dark and gritty world, full of odd characters but also human replicas who are wanted by the police. Tasked with locating and killing the visitors, the main character's skills will be put to the test in his attempt to solve the task but also the mystery surrounding them. Although it sounds like an interesting premise, you'll soon find out that the execution falls way behind. The main character is pretty dull and unsympathetic, making his adventure a lot less interesting than it should have been. The story also lacks in terms of complexity, generating a truly unpleasant sensation of complete boredom.
You have the impression that you know what is going to happen, but you have to wait a great amount of time for it to happen, which almost seems like a filler, unnecessary overextended. The even sadder part is that you were right all along, making it incredibly predictable, thus spoiling everything that could have generated even a bit of emotion or drama. You're left with a very unsatisfying story, with a very disappointing finale (which leaves plenty of room for a sequel) and a couple of characters who simply cannot grab your attention, let alone feelings regarding their situation. I have to note though that it looks stunning! The special effects and the cinematic way are a big plus for this movie, but I'm sad to say that it is the only upside when it comes to this film.
It's not as bad as it sounds, but overall it fails to deliver anything above mediocrity, except for the visuals of course, leaving the viewer with a lot to wish for, especially considering its very high rating.
