Pretty, but slow, self-important and a pseudo-profound but implausible plot

Rating: 6/10 (31 January 2018)

Maybe I'll give it another shot, but I found it incredibly slow to unfold. like you knew how every scene was going to resolve before it did. Beautiful sets, as has been mentioned, but totally lacking in all of the detail that made the first movie such a compelling environment. Ridley Scott got his start making commercials, and he always had a gift for packing a lot of visual information in a shot. That is really lacking. The script felt like it needed another re-write, and the editing was too self-reverential.
