Review of Blade Runner 2049 (2017) by Maksprofit — 06 Oct 2017

While the film wasn't terrible, it wasn't amazing either. The interactions between characters was superficial and their motives were as well. There was nothing profound like there was in the first Blade Runner.

The scenery and sets were beautiful, as were some of the special effects, but a film can't be based solely on these things alone. It needed to have a villain, but it lacked this entirely. There was barely an iota of conflict during the film, it was simply void.

We didn't know why the 'villains' were doing the things they did. The problem was again that these villains didn't have real motives. Nothing was believable, there was simply fabricated disdain and strife which didn't serve the purpose of creating a compelling story line.

Also many of the scenes were too long, drawn out and weighed down with superfluous pause.
