Girlbots! (bare breasts | female nudity | prostitute | topless female nudity | female rear nudity)

Rating: 1/10 (25 October 2017)

We need to talk about the girlbots. Hollywood likes the idea of robotic women. For instance, Julie Newmar starred as Rhoda the Robot on the television series My Living Doll (1964–1965) with Bob Cummings as her "owner." Naturally, she starts out as a naked robot girl but as the series progressed, she develops a personality. I could probably make a list of twenty similar stories (let's not forget that naughty Roman poet Ovid's story about Pygmalion who fell in love with a statue which came to life. It's notable that the two of them had a girl child.)
So you can think of Rick Deckard as a Pygmailon character who falls in love with a girlbot. That viewing is a whole bucket of water on the Deckard is a replicant story-line but this new sequel/prequel movie wants it both ways in that the Director's Cut does not have narration concerning Rachel's extended lifespan. Tyrell explicitly stated that the four-year life limit was unavoidable. So the "happy ending" is a bucket of water on the poor, sad, limited-life-span-not-a-special Roy Batty. Tyrell could have told him about Rachel but that would have sent Roy into a killing frenzy.
Back to BR2049, we have the story of a huntsman searching for a child whose mother died soon after giving birth. So we can think about the Snow White story where the huntsman relents in his assigned task. Snow White ends up alive in a crystal sarcophagus.
Anyhow, this movie is an hour too long and the budget should have been limited too. This movie winds up appealing to fifty-year and older men and maybe a bunch of film-school graduates who think Solaris is great too. Well, Solaris features a few neutrino girls and the George Clooney remake featured more sex and no lengthy drives around Tokyo.
