Underrated classic

Rating: 8/10 (27 January 2018)

When the director of Arrival, Dennis Villenueve, came on board to direct the sequel to Ridley Scott's 1982 cult classic Blade Runner, he crafted a nearly 3 hour visual fx feast that's high on substance, and low on storyline. Harrison Ford doesn't even appear until halfway through the movie, and that's a shame. The rest of the cast though shimmers and the score lives up to the original by Vangelis. The dialogue was so hard to hear that i had to put on captions to read what was going on. It's sad that this movie failed to break even at the box office, just like the original Blade Runner when it came out during the summer of ET, 1982. Now that's it's popular on home media, just like the original, it's time to discover this hidden treasure of a movie.
