Most robotic actors of their generations type-cast for slog-fest

Rating: 6/10 (18 November 2017)

While the original Blade Runner's innovation made up for its plodding pace, the "2049" sequel is not much more than a nostalgic homage with an extra dose of Quaalude. Not even the Cuban-anime hologram-robot hybrid sex scene made up for the slow-motion dialogue, blocking and lingering cinematography that turned a 20 minute story into a 2.5 hour tedium as dreary as its drone music soundtrack . Uncanny how leads the in both versions were played by the most robotic actors of their generation.
