Some good moments but generally looking totally unnecessary sequel

Rating: 5/10 (19 October 2017)

Original Blade Runner was always one of my favorite movies. I still remember the first time i watched it and how i was left totally speechless for next one hour when it was finished. The movie totally changed my life perception and some believes, it was like spiritual experience to me, and still it is every time i re-watch it. I always felt that the movie is unique and that they should not make some reboot or even the sequel in the future, but Hollywood is totally out of ideas these days and they decided to made a sequel. I was skeptical from the beginning of the idea, but when is saw it that it will be directed by Dennis Villneuve (really enjoyed Arrival) i decided to watch it. And my impressions are generally mixed. The first half of the movie is generally okay but the second when Harrison Ford appeared is total mess. Really nice visuals through the hole movie but they are without the soul like other things in the movie, it can't be compared to the opening sequence in original movie, that experience, that visuals will never be beaten. Also the same case is with the music, it sounds like bad replica of original soundtrack i really don't understand why they didn't hired Vangelis to do again soundtrack, i suppose it must be some kind of lobby because Zimmer is composing every second movie from Hollywood, don't get me wrong he is also great composer but Blade Runner without Vangelis is not Blade Runner. Cast in the movie is nothing special, no one is worth mention, Gosling is generally okay, but others especially female crew totally disappointing. Everyone complained about Jared Leto, yes i also don't like him but in the role of Wallace was totally solid. But the most i complain is the ending, they made it that we can expect now ten more Blade Runner movies and it will look at end like some Marvel nonsense franchise at the end. But i must admit that i enjoyed some parts, had a great time, and it is definitely better than new Star Wars movies. If you go to theater with nothing to expect and to watch it as a totally different movie not Blade Runner you will have great time, if you expect some deepness, message and uniqueness you will be disappointed. My grade 5.5/10.
