A movie with a scenario that couldn't decide where it wanted to bring us

Rating: 6/10 (21 June 2018)

I had high expectations for this movie and while I was delighted to see that Hans Zimmer kept the mood Vangelis had put in the movie, I didn't get where the movie was trying to take us. It felt like scenes were not always necessary, not always connected and as a whole it wasn't really telling a story but rather moments in a life, trying to address different kinds of problems/topics related to artificial humans without actually going in depth. It was like someone had (sometimes really good) ideas and wanted to put them in the movie without considering whether it makes sense for the characters or not.
I don't know if I was distracted by Ryan Gosling but I felt like watching Drive or Only God Forgives where we have beautiful scenes, that seem to have an "artistic" goal rather than telling a story. Maybe Ryan tries really hard to look like a robot, I don't know...
Also in a sequel they shouldn't try to copy the original so much, they should be bold and try something new. It's like Promotheus or the recent Star Wars movies, if you rely too much on the original stories, you end up not remembering the sequel.
