Another hollow movie hidden behind effects.

Rating: 3/10 (6 October 2017)

Is the new Bladerunner a beautiful move? Yes! Does it have great sound effects and music? Yes! Does the movie lean on Ryan Goslings performance instead of developing the story. Oh, yes!
While the new Bladerunner move might share some of the aesthetics with its prequel, the new movie lack any story or smartness. It's a boring movie for the VX junkies, replacing any invention or creativity with boring drama and long closeups of Ryan Goslings face. It almost fells like some screening group said, lets add more Ryan Gosling and some more Sony logos and we have a movie. It feels awkward, since Ryan does an exact copy of his performance in Drive, only this time for about 2 hours straight.
The movie never gets interesting, exiting or even spawns any feelings inside the viewer. The characters never struggle and you never find yourself intrigued about how the movie will end. It's a boring 3 hour wait for a super obvious plot to unravel. Watching some car fly over the same cloudy city for the 10:th time get boring quick. The only light in the dark is Harrison Fords excellent contribution, which only is a minor part of the movie at the very end.
The movie ends happily without any surprises and director Villeneuve can fall asleep at night knowing that no toes were trampled on and no angry mobs awoken. And somewhere, a young kids interest in Sci-Fi dies for the benefit of cramming in one more company logo or making the movie a little more mainstream.
