Worth it for BR fans - visually impressive but overlong & not entirely coherent

Rating: 7/10 (22 October 2017)

I thought it was visually impressive and thought provoking in parts (especially the relationship between replicant Joe and 'Joi' his holographic AI 'lover'). I did think it was over-long though and a little too addicted to its own spectacle. I found some of the violence excessive too - and my cinema turned up the soundtrack to ear-pummelling levels. I don't think the whole story makes sense even within the world's logic, though it makes a poetic kind of sense. Definitely worth seeing on the big screen if you are a fan of the original. I suspect non-fans might be a bit bemused...
