This Movie is a Replicant of a Film

Rating: 7/10 (14 October 2017)

The movie is a "replicant" of a real film. Not to say that we should retire it. It is a sci-fi movie chock full of cool effects.
But where is the Noir? Is there soul?
The original Blade Runner had an enigma that kept viewers arguing for 30 years. This one left nothing unanswered that viewers could discuss 30 minutes later.
It is a cool FX sci-fi entertainment, with superhero, "kung-fu" robots.
Certainly are plenty of pretties in this. I could be wrong, but should Film Noir be populated exclusively by models?
Certainly are plenty of "female nudity" in this: robot breasts, virtual breasts, statue breasts, small, medium and giant. I expected the credits to say, "Dedicated to the memory of Hugh Hefner." Perhaps this was an exploration into the difference between artificial breasts and the human breast. Perhaps it was pandering to the perceived interests of the stereotypical porn-surfing fan boy. "I only watch this movie for the articles," is like what they used to claim about Hefner's magazine.
It had very cool technologies from the future, especially flying cars with built-in drones.
In the casino, it's too bad the actors were upstaged by lip-syncing Elvis and Sinatra impersonators. I have no recollection of what the characters did there, but the hologram singers stole the show.
Can't wait for the DVD with extended scenes. Ha, ha, just kidding. At least we know the upcoming Director's Cut will be shorter, not longer.
Snowflakes wafting around our hero in the end — now That was classic Ridley.
