VISUALLY STUNNING, BUT HOLLOW

Rating: Null/10 (26 April 2018)

This film should have been entitled Five Actors in Search of a Plot. The storyline meanders all over the place. We find ourselves unsympathetic to any of the characters other than Joi, who is a sentient hologram. What is the purpose of the Bladerunners? Why have the androids been created in the first place? How are they different from people? What is the company looking for? Why are they looking at all? Who is really in charge? Is everyone allowed to murder anyone and get away with it? Is there any government? Why are there Russian ads in Los Angeles? None of these questions are ever answered, making this nothing more than a long, long excursion of visually engaging scenes without purpose or meaning.
