Blade sleeper

Rating: 1/10 (12 October 2017)

I'm a huge fan of Blade Runner and have loved it since I saw it on VHS-tape back in the late 90s with my dad.
The 2007 Final Cut on Blu Ray is a masterpiece, and the movie had a 25 year mystery that finally came to rest. It's what makes movies magical.
Blade Runner 2049 is not that....
I think there is a huge category of people who love Blade Runner 2049. It is the same people who love movies like 2001 A Space Odyssey or Arrival. People who "wonder" over extremely slow movies with a heavy focus on visuals, and no real focus on story, characters or philosophy.
The original Blade Runner is more similar to movies like Moon, Donnie Darko, Fifth Element and the likes, but Blade Runner is more like Stanley Kubrick's 2001. The tone is completely different, and this is a snooze fest with extremely stale characters.
Ryan Gosling is boring, Harisson Ford is boring, Robin Wright is OK, Jared Leto is terrible. The movie is not about them, it's about soundless visuals. If you are deaf you will definitely enjoy the movie.
The movie is dull, and like many others have said - I looked at my watch wondering when the heck this 2h 45 minute mess of a storyless, characterless movie would end?
I hoped so much for the movie, but I'm sad to say that this is really, really bad.
Don't bother with this one, rewatch the original instead.
