Just a nice visual with an empty story

Rating: 6/10 (19 March 2018)

The beauty of the original was how original it was. This movie has the same flying cars, same city. And unfortunately what would have been amazing in the 80s is now hum drum with 3D computer effects.
The movie spent too much time on his love life with a hologram. It almost seemed like it was trying to show off CGI. I wasn't impressed. His love life was sad and not worthy of all the screen time.
It had some interesting scenes with some nice cinematography. But the story was just so empty, I kind of wanted more.
And really when you're continuing a story line, you shouldn't rely so much on CGI. The story really needs to be the key. Because the original has already cashed in on the originality of the plot and idea of the story, not to mention the visuals. You can't just re-do the original, that is too boring.
Very disappointed. It seemed like a plot written on a weekend after some studio said, "We'll give you $100M for a sequel" and they wrote while watching the Final Four and drinking beer.
