Reasons why the film commercially fails

Rating: Null/10 (13 October 2017)

It is clear that "Blade Runner 2049" underperforms at box office, especially in the United States. There are several reasons for that.
First, the film depicts humans as evil and replicants as justice. "War for the Planet of Apes" did the same, paying tributes to apes while slashing humans. All the audiences are humans and obviously they don't want such a setting.
Secondly, the pace is too slow. You can sleep for twenty minutes, and when you wake up, you can still catch up with the plot.
Third, bad editing. It seems that Denis Villeneuve is a narcissist and just puts everything he shoots into the film.
