Sooo Boring

Rating: 4/10 (23 October 2017)

Great visuals of a depressed robotic world vision of 2049.
A bit too harsh and too aggressive music throughout but very flashy, very hightech, in sync with the movie.
Acting is so so, good casting but the character development and emotional roller coaster was a bit over the top in general. Difficult to relate to the characters and their transformations or high intensity emo, it mostly looked hollow, fake.
Storyline is built up from promising bits and pieces centering around humanizing AI/Robotics with its good and evil (mostly evil) and trying to find an identity and purpose in a cold, confused world. The story never finds its purpose or identity, never gets together however. Too many twists, trying to be too epic, too big, but it does not really work.
Blade Runner 2049 fits into the category of a shallow 'deep thoughts wannabe' , a bit anachronistic with the (now) usual Matrix way of mixing religion, science, fantasy, fiction, philosophy and delusion.
And the film is sooo long, sooo boring, I was wondering whether to just leave. I stayed till the end, but was glad when it was over. half the movie was a waste of time.
Overall: very high sensory quality+++ trying hard to be epic-- too long, quite boring -- confused --
