Was so looking forward to this...

A singular lesson in why sequels often don't work.
Independence day 2 is the other fine example in this tendency to turn down a blind alley.
Blade runner worked because of how it was staged (forget the voice over and daft ending version) and how it was gritty. Leaving the ending hanging was the right place to stop at.
Blade runner 2049 makes the horrendous mistake of feeling that there is more to tell.
Its a film that might have a good storyline in it but spends it's time confusing and inventing extensions to the original that have no reason to be.
Had it been developed as something different it might have worked.
But it wasn't
And it doesn't.
