Review of Blade Runner 2049 (2017) by John N — 21 Oct 2017

I am really stunned by all the good reviews here. The original Blade Runner was beautiful, exciting, thought-provoking and did not plod slowly through the storyline. This film was not a good stand alone film.

If you had not seen the first one, 2049 will carry less impact and leave you a little confused. This film has a great look but not compared to the original. Had I known how much of a misfire this was I never would have paid $10 to see.

There is no confusion as to why the box office on this was disappointing. It's not really a good film. It's a weak, slow moving, watered down followup with minimal action and not enough impact.

Really a sad surprise.
