Elvis in the future? Seriously?

Rating: 3/10 (18 June 2018)

The first Blade Runner movie is set in Los Angeles in the year 2019 (not far off) with Rick Deckard (Ford) as the first Blade Runner.
The en noir science fiction is back but this time set thirty years later and we have Agent K (Ryan Gosling) as the new Blade Runner to find Rick Deckard.
The dialogue is well-written and well scripted but the plot was slow-moving and it was all over the place, whereas the original was more fluid and focused, Rutger Hauer and Daryl Hannah seemed human and developed sagacious insight which is both scary and touching. In Blade Runner 2049 there are good guys and bad guys, that's it! That's all, nothing else.
The movie wants to dazzle us with the idea that no trees exist in Los Angeles except a golden retriever dog is around in the future and it is nothing but neon lights. The visuals are impressive as the original nevertheless.
The whole notion of China or Japan being the forefront in food distribution and advertisement is extraordinary and not far from the truth.
However this is what cracks me up completely - the Music! What I don't get is why is the music so ancient and whitewashed?
I can't imagine anyone playing Frank Sinatra, can you? The writer is probably an Elvis Presley fan whom the idol gets more screen time in the fighting scene also when a cameo appearance isn't better enough to be placed there like cotton wool, just there for no reason. Elvis in the future? Are you kidding me? I am very sure that Freddy Mercury and Michael Jackson the true King and the Mozart of our time had more impact to be remembered in the year 2049.
I am not an Elvis fan can't you tell?
I will be 71 years old when that time comes and I will make sure to play greatest Artists that shake the world.
