A Sequel It's Not

Rating: 1/10 (2 July 2018)

I really don't like to write negative reviews but I can't think of anything I liked about this movie. The original Blade Runner had tension, mood, live-or-die action, a great score by Tangerine Dream, and a story that could be followed. I have tried four times to watch this 2049 sequel and the plot still escapes me. Worse, I find I am getting very bored with computer effects.
There was gratuitous nudity to try and capture some attention, but even that didn't add to the plot (if there is one). The acting was positively wooden and the scrpt was whispered and mumbled. Even an aging Harrison Ford couldn't save this movie. Almost as if Hollywood was trying to set off a franchise but if that's so, I hope the franchise attempt dies a peaceful death.
