Pretty vacant

Rating: 2/10 (6 January 2019)

I'm so glad I configured the IMDb ratings from worst first, so that I didn't have to trawl through a welter of positive reviews to get to some sense, seeing that this visually opulent (pretty) yet thoroughly vapid (vacant) film gets an average 8/10 and massive thumbs-up from the likes of The Guardian and Empire. The plotting in this film made no sense whatsoever, and it was interminable. What's so annoying is that anyone who's a fan of the original (and who isn't?) would feel obliged to sit through it. You don't have to go off-world to suffer the pain.
