Nice try, but there is only one Blade Runner

Rating: 7/10 (5 October 2017)

When i saw the European premiere of Blade Runner back in 1982 i thought I've seen the future, and 35 years have past and the future is now, but not as dark as it was portrayed in that masterpiece. I always thought that there could not be any remakes or sequels of a perfect work of art. When it was announced that Ridley Scott was working on a remake/sequel i wished it was a rumor. But it was not. After seeing the new Balde Runner 2049 it confirmed my suspicions. Why do they had to recreate scene by scene from the original ? The trash car, the umbrellas, the "throw the hero into the wall" the Atari, Pan Am, Coca Cola ads, the viewing of photography's, and zooming on them, the music is a Copy of the Vangelis masterpiece ..... even a "new" character that looks almost like Pris .... and bringing back Rachel was not a good idea. Harrison Ford should have refused this part. OK the newer generations will love it, but its all about CGi. And real Cinema is not CGi, its story telling and acting. 7 out of 10 is the most i can give it.
