Beautiful visuals, very slow pace

Rating: 7/10 (14 October 2017)

The original Blade Runner is one of my favorite movies of all time. I've been looking forward to Blade Runner 2049 since previews first came out. I in no way expected it to be comparable to the original, though, but I did expect it to be pretty good.
The show had several interesting threads it was exploring but it didn't really go too deeply. The actors did a good job and the production value was great.
I was quite disappointed with the pacing of the story, though. The movie was long! It had some pretty boring spots and just seemed to drag on and on at different points. I don't mind slower deliberate movies but this was excessive. It could have been edited down some to tighten up the pace. That is what I think was off - the pace.
Beautiful visuals, though and I do recommend you see it. Just realize that it is very long and can be very slow moving.
