The movie is great in its substance, not on the surface

Rating: 9/10 (27 December 2017)

Sorry for my English, it's not my mother tongue.

Many people is disappointed by comparing it with the Original Blade Runner. And I can understand that.
However bear in mind Blade Runner had a very good plot, very good intrigue and the ending scene was a total climax, one of the best shots ever done in the cinema history. As you go out of Blade Runner (1982), thanks to the ending (and Rutger Hauer actually), you're there like "oh my god this movie blows!"
Blade Runner 2049 goes actually the other way around, the first 2h30 are absolutely great in my opinion. Nothing is granted to the spectator. The visuals are astonishing, the cyberpunk world and ambience is perfectly retranscripted, the noir investigation is brilliant and the way the movie goes forward is extremely clever. The ending of the movie however totally disappoints and leaves an extremely bad taste in the mouth.
As the movie ended I was disappointed. My wife told me: "I don't really know what to think about this movie". I answered "I'm not sure either, I'll probably need some extra hours, thinking about the movie, before making a judgement".
And I was right to do so, the disappointing ending is actually necessary to provide the inherent plot of the movie. In its questioning, in questioning human reality, in questioning human society, in questioning the behaviour of humans toward the premade (mis)conceptions the society imposes to the individual, in questioning the mainstream conception about superiorship of human toward replicants (or other human beings), in question how the mainstream conception can effect the perception a person has of himself, this movie is MUUUUUUUUUUUCH superior to Blade Runner (1982).
All those questions and sentiments are provided through the entire movie and there is no clear answer provided and, that's maybe what appears to be the weak point of the movie, but actually is the strong point of it to me, *there is no real conclusion*.
If you expected indeed a conclusion you'll be disappointed because the conclusion is actually very "meh... I don't care... Did I watch a 3 hours movie just for that?"
But if you don't, and focus through the trip this movie took you with for 3 hours, if you focus on the important elements of this movie, it can be seen as superior to its original.
