Sorry, Longwinded, overloaded beautifully made pretentiousness

Rating: 2/10 (24 July 2017)

Seen it a day ago. Sorry for all the lovers of this movie, but this was a too long winded load of very beautifully filmed noble pretentiousness.
Of course you can try to cram all your ideas into one movie, but then there's the danger that it will get too long. This such a case. Two hours and forty-five minutes? There is a reason why ninety minutes is good, so if you want or need to make a longer movie come up with a better, tighter structure then casting actors in different historical time frames.
If you obviously reference Blade Runner please come up with a novel idea about a future city don't rehash the futuristic-Japanish cityscape, but make for example a Russian-themed city.
If you have followed the last decade's history or so one can see Russia clawing back and they will survive and most probably win in some way. They might create a great Eurasian empire; anyway that's what they might actually be aiming for. (Read your Sergey Karaganov, please) Then you might have had something new complete with all kind of Cyrillic character wizardry as opposed to all the kanji, hiragana and katakana stuff. See what I mean? I'll keep it short. If you like the idea of the noble savage the end will satisfy you probably.
Again sorry.
