A terrible betrayal of Roy Batty's message

Rating: 3/10 (31 July 2019)

Both the film and the music looks excellent at first glance, but it pales terribly when you dive a little deeper and compare it to the original. So please don't downvote this review, if you're not really familiar with the original film and soundtrack, because my review is written for those who are.
The three stars are for the excellent visual qualities and the fact that you will definetely enjoy it, if you haven't seen the original Blade Runner film or simply forgot its main point.
The story betrays most important character (Roy Batty)'s message in the original film, because it ultimately reduces the concept of 'being human' to the ability to reproduce. The replicants have been reduced to sobbing, lonely existences walking aimlessly around looking for a 'purpose' - one that is only found when it turns out they can reproduce. How pathetic. Roy Batty and now - sadly - the man who played him - Rutger Hauer - must be dying a little extra in their graves.
And finally the music: Hans Zimmer Corp.'s soundtrack is a lazy, unimaginative 'spheric' soundtrack spiced up with some remixed ripoffs of the original Vangelis masterpiece soundtrack plus some oldtimer ballads. Listen to Vangelis' completely original soundtrack and then compare it to the total lack of original material in Zimmer's score.
