Boring, Boring, Boring - and dull

Rating: 2/10 (28 December 2017)

What a disappointment. From a visually stunning original to a dull and colourless sequel with wooden characters and cheap looking sets and technology. The original was full of neon lights in a wet and menacing urban setting, This was fog and dirt.The story was laboured and uninteresting which then made the film appear far to long - I never made it to the end left wondering why I bothered in the first place. I also didn't fully understand the complex relationship between Gosling and the female hologram, maybe it wasn't complex at all and just plain simple and I was in fact expecting far too much. In any case it made no real sense and added nothing to the base line story, rather like what I am doing now - it was used to pad out a weak film.
