Almost a masterpiece

Rating: 8/10 (8 October 2017)

Overall this was an exceptional movie. And it exceeded my expectations for it in some ways but fell short in other ways.
In terms of visual style, I have to say I was stunned by the beauty of the environments and the closeness to the original. Visually this is one of the best movies I have ever seen and it truly felt like a Blade Runner movie. I was amazed with what I was seeing on screen.
The acting was also excellent all around. I felt like they created characters and gave us the chance to get to know them and the actors did a great job portraying the experience of their characters.
The fight scenes were superbly done. I loved how they contrasted the fighting with the normal progression of the movie, it gave everything a nice effect and really helped illustrate the nature of the replicants and how they operate.
The only things that I really want to criticize are the plot and the audio. The sounds in this were amazing but they felt out of sync with what was happening on screen at times. Otherwise the sound was great and really enhanced the experience.
The plot was a little too light hearted for me. It has a typical Hollywood fluff ending which wasn't befitting of the nightmare that is unfolding before our eyes in this film. And this film is absolutely a nightmare.
I hope that if they make another one they go less with a plot and more into the psychology of the world they live in and the fear and loneliness that surround the idea of being alive.
