Stunning visuals, painfully boring script

Rating: 4/10 (15 October 2017)

Denis Villeneuve's slow-paced filmmaking does a service to the narrative only when the story advances rapidly. He functions as a marvelous counterpoint when conflicts and character-development escalate. Sadly, this was not the case at all. Forget about the film's predecessor. As a stand-alone, this was excruciatingly boring.
Sunning visuals, though.
