Thirty years later Blade Runners still have work to do

Rating: Null/10 (23 March 2018)

I watched this at home on DVD from my public library, it is not the type of movie my wife enjoys. The filming, effects, and surround sound are all first-rate, immersing the viewer in 2 hours and 35 minutes of sheer entertainment.
One nice feature of the DVD is a set of "extras" called Blade Runner 101, basically a tutorial on what Blader Runners and other key characters and devices are. Watching that first helps understand the story immediately instead of trying to figure those things out.
I like this movie much better than I enjoyed the original. It is not so darkly lit, has a range of more interesting colors, and a range of more interesting characters. Ryan Gosling is LAPD officer 'K', he is a Blade Runner. But in his rounds he comes across a dead tree and his device detects a long-buried box that upon retrieval was found to contain the skeleton of a woman. Examination also showed she had given birth, but where was this replicant baby?
Most of the rest of the story has K tracking all this down, which takes him to old Blade Runner Deckard (Harrison Ford) who had disappeared for 30 years.
Good movie, very entertaining, but I sure hope all that doesn't come to pass over the next 30-odd years.
