Take an old masterpiece, and add add some sadism, sentimentality and general stupidity

Rating: 1/10 (27 December 2017)

While visually interesting, the movie is movie is a pale and unconvincing homage to the old Blade Runner (and a big advert for Sony and Peugeot). There is no need to spend time on it.
The story is shallow and the main plot is nonsensical. Apart from the fact that "failure of the ecosystem", the plot is based on, means shake and bake death to all life on Earth, the plot tries to work around some quite primitive motifs as the main plot. While original pondered love, egalitarianism, humanity and life itself, 2049 deals with obedience, duty, dying for a cause and procreation, and as a cherry on top, there is a healthy dose of mindless sentimental sadism.
I just wonder under what pressure the screenwriters, directors and others are to make such cr*p? What they should have done is read some PKD books, and try to understand how brilliantly crazy he was. Than go create something new and brilliant, and not something people will be sorry they spent time watching it.
