Bad sequel

Rating: 2/10 (7 October 2017)

Don't get me wrong this a pretty OK future dystopia sci fi film but it spends far too much time trying to be a sequel to a classic at the expense of its own story which has massive holes in the plot. Visually stunning, particularly the AI girlfriend though the whole film seems obsessed with naked ladies for no good reason. The sound track is heavily based on the original but tries too hard to match Vangelis and fails, heavy handed, music overpowers speech and the sound fails to reflect the action. Story is an interesting development of the original but could easily have been told in a 2 hr film and the blatant setups of more sequels are annoying, and as for the leading man, Gosling just spends the whole film being a smug and self satisfied Ryan Gosling. I've watched the original Bladerunner countless times since it came our (last time a couple of days ago). I can't see myself bothering to watch this one ever again.
