Review of Blade Runner 2049 (2017) by Jim M — 19 Oct 2017
Hmm...very pretty. But this sequel wasn't entirely necessary. My biggest complaint was how common place replicants had become. They were everywhere, even working for the police as Blade Runners. In the original, they were escapees from off-world mines.
The memory implant plot line was a good device, but it doesn't sustain the entire movie. Sadly there is nothing in this film which compares to the philosophical ramblings of Rutger Hauer as he's beating the crap out of Harrison Ford.
Too bad to, because I like Denis Villeneuve's other work. I'll just pretend this didn't happen and wait for his next film.
