Slightly better than the first

Rating: 8/10 (8 March 2018)

I have just finished watching this for the second time and i have to say the second viewing was more enjoyable.
The film is gorgeous. From the cinematography to the sets, lighting, colors, music, everything. Now of course my rating of 8 implies there's some flaws which there are.
The problems i have are fairly minimal. The first being the soundtrack. The soundtrack isn't bad, it's just quite loud. I know that's kind of a strange complaint, but since i watch movies with surround sound, it gets quite irritating. The first Blade Runner has an amazing soundtrack that fits perfectly with the film, this one even though it has a good soundtrack, feels out of place in some scenes.
The next complaint is some of the performances, mainly Jared Leto. I like Jared Leto, i think he's a capable actor, it just feels like he's going too over the top for my liking.
There are quite a lot of great things that i appreciate about this film. The first is that they don't immediately explain things, allowing the audience to pick up on things rather than writing exposition and showing it down our throats. It treats the viewers as if they're intelligent.
The story is not necessarily unique, but it's presented in a nice, smart, and skilled way.
I would recommend this to pretty much anyone, including fans of the book and original movie.
