Review of Blade Runner 2049 (2017) by J P — 20 Oct 2017
I loved the original movie and wanted to like this one. The plot moved WAY too slow, to the point of boredom. I didn't care about Joe at all because I was just wondering when the plot would finally move on so the movie could end. The slow pace was the main issue with the movie. The second issue for me is they didn't have *any* multidimensional female characters. The police commissioner comes close but did she really *do* anything except nag Joe? The girlfriend/house thing had potential but wasn't explored fully. The servant was probably the strongest female of the movie, and she was a bad guy! The rest of the females were hookers! There was just nothing to grab on to. And what was with fake jesus and his middle-school level philosophy?
Two stars both come from the cinematography and CGI which was gorgeous. This movie was a stunner. At least I could just look at the pretty shapes and colors when I got bored by the horrible story telling.
I left the movie theater feeling unhappy and fatigued. What more can I say?
