Worst Film of 2017

Rating: 2/10 (8 October 2017)

Just when I thought 'mother!' was going to be the worst film of 2017, along comes 'Bladerunner 2049'. This is boring, ponderous, pretentious nonsense that can only impress anyone without a discriminating, critical faculty. Only saving graces are Roger Deakins' photography (which is astonishing), the sound, and Harrison Ford's performance. So ssssslllllllooooowwww. So meaningless. Like any thought provoking film, you are left with questions. Why can't anyone walk at a normal pace in this film? Is the great narrative 'secret' really secret, or important? How can I get those 2.5hrs back in my life? Despite this rubbish, I continue to think Denis Villeneuve is one of the best directing talents around. Let's hope he can recover his form with his next movie.
