Too long sequel of the better original Blade Runner

Rating: 6/10 (13 October 2017)

You need at least read something about the original Blade Runner to understand a bit what is going on in BR 2049. The story in this sequel is very thin and it is all about the miracle that if you have sex with a replicant you can make her pregnant.... Well if you believe that in the near future something as replicants are possible you probably also can believe that they can get pregnant. I liked the original BR very much not in the last place due to the brilliant role played by the dutch Rutger Hauer. In BR2049 Sylvia Hoeks, also from the Netherlands, plays a very good role too and the same goes for Ford and Gosling. But the movie is way too long, too slow and the stupid scenery with the artificial girlfriend are really stupid. The sphere is dark and pessimistic, the special effects are great and so is the sound (sometimes the sound created a dark atmosphere as well although nothing was happening...) but the story, is as said before, not good and the movie should have been not longer than two hours. I saw the movie in the cinema but a few times had to fight not to fall asleep because of the slowness of the movie. Could have been much better and the 8.6 on IMDb.com is absolutely way too high! Check it out for yourself if you still want to....
