What a bore

Rating: 1/10 (7 October 2017)

What a bore.
The film felt like it went on for a lot longer than it actually was, and with a very thin plot stretched out for 2 hours and 40 minutes. It would have been quicker to read 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep' by Philip K Dick, which influenced the original film.
The imagery and special affects are spectacular. The sound track is clearly influenced by the original film and was quite good. The film didn't get anywhere near the atmosphere of the 1982 film.
There were times when it was hard to hear some of the dialogue but as most of that dialogue was pointless waffle that wasn't too much of an issue. There were long scenes of dull silence followed by long scenes of needless chatter, all with no action or interest.
I got so bored watching this I counted 17 people leave the screen in the last hour of the film who didn't return.
Ryan Gosling (K) was mostly poor throughout the film. A small tree in a leather jacket could have played that role just as well.
Ana de Armas (Joi) stood out amongst the cast as K's hologram love interest, backed by spectacular computer imagery.
Jered Leto played Niander Wallace, for some reason. His scenes were amongst the longest and most tedious. They went on and on with the dullest dialogue in the whole film.
I since found out that Director Denis Villeneuve is also responsible for Sicario and Arrival. If I'd known beforehand I wouldn't have bothered going to see the third film in his 'Trilogy of Tripe'.
Don't go out of your way to see this. Stay at home and watch the 1982 original, it's so much better.
