Another soulless Denis Villeneuve movie 2 out of 10

Rating: 1/10 (8 October 2017)

Why this film has so much critical praise is beyond me, visually it does have some merit but in no way is this close to the brilliance of the original.
The plot moves at a snails pace and as with other Denis Villeneuve movies lacks a soul, characters you actually care about and a plot twist that is nowhere near as clever as it thinks it is (yes I'm talking about the other turd fest that was Arrival)
The one and only SPOILER I'm going to discuss in this review if you can call it that is?
"The Ryan Gosling sex scene"
and I won't reveal much. Basically if you've seen the far superior Patrick Swayze classic Ghost your getting the whoopi Goldberg/ Demi Moore love scene rehashed for a futuristic world and yes it comes across as pathetic as in sounds.
Never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd be comparing Blade Runner 2049 to Ghost or even one I haven't mentioned "watching paint dry". Especially on the back of such outlandish reviews as best sequel ever. In terms of sequels I class this as an Alien 3 of sequels, we had the original Blade Runner and Alien films both sci-fi classics but I expected Blade Runner 2049 to be the Aliens of sequels instead of the Alien 3 of sequels a bit rubbish if your honest but there's always some weirdos who'll like it.
Even the the sight of a skyscraper sized topless Ana de Armas hologram failed to arouse any emotion within me after being bored to a near death state by the first 2hrs let alone the remaining 44 minutes.
