There's nothing to it

Rating: 4/10 (7 December 2018)

It's just a Blade Runner clone but without the Grey conflict of the first film.
The story just victimizes the replicants and takes there side and the main human antagonist is mostly evil. Also, bioengineered beings should be able to have babies. If you have the technology to make replicants why don't you have the technology to insert reproductive genes from humans into them. The Tyrell Corporation did remove the reproductive genes so this world has the tech and if they removed the reproductive genes how was their reproduction.

Unless the experimental replicant from the first film had those genes, which is the mother of the replicant baby. They have DNA archives of an experimental replicant but not any on gene splicing and it's plot convenience that particular data survived after the replicants wiped out all the electronic data. The Tyrell Corporation must have had replicant DNA or the Wallace Corporation couldn't have restarted production a decade later unless they started with nothing which would suggest they had some form of this technology.

Also, there was a massive backlash among the human populace, just over giving them open-ended lifespans equivalent to that of a regular human. Also are there no books or backups or people who have the knowledge of such things in the world of blade runner and human reproduction is slow and for the fact how long is it going take before they're useable as workers, so wouldn't growing them be faster. Their process must be really slow and how do they make money with such a slow process, so why not just make them grow faster. I mean genetic engineering is how they made the replicants, to begin with. Do the writers not understand genetic engineering or did everyone get amnesia when all but some of the data was destroyed? Genetic engineering is a set of technologies used to change the genetic makeup of cells, including the transfer of genes within and across species boundaries to produce, improved, or novel organisms.

The main character acts as a plot device only moving the plot along to where it needs to go and ends up only being very important for finding out what happened between films and his sacrificial death so two characters who are bearly in the film can meet and that you couldn't care less about if you never saw the first film. It seems to me subverting our expectations was the point of him not being the Jesus replicant baby and it being a minor character was boring.
No other character is interesting as he is the only one that goes through an existential crisis.
The themes of transhumanism and existentialism, the story, and the plot are nothing new and I'd say just watch the (1995) Ghost in the shell film or the first over it.
