Somewhat pointless

Rating: 3/10 (17 January 2018)

Can't work out what the point of this film is. It rambles around, getting itself lost, for the most, in the somewhat bland and underwhelming scenery.
As for Ryan Gosling, all I can say is, a lump of wood would have been more expressive. Is it a thing that replicants have little or no emotion? If so, job well done, but of couyrse, that isn't true at all when finally, 50 minutes before the end, the Deckard character appears.
Have to say, Ford made the movie, he is obviously into the part and made the most of his limited screen time.
I was completely uninterested in the tired 'find my family' obsession that so many films have used before.
One of my pet hates is ridiculous hairstyles for male actors. In The Force Awakens, Ford as Han Solo has a very ridiculous bouffant (how come he agreed to let that happen?) that makes him look silly. So happily in BR2049, he's got a good haircut, and he looks the part.
Did not enjoy the soundtrack either. The big pad sweep sound that denotes coming into view of a breathtaking panorama, so effective in the original, is here flogged to death and used for any kind of scene intro, thus negating any thrill the viewer has from this signature musical association.
I'm sure I shall glean a little more from it when I rewatch it.
