Blade Runner 2049
Starring: Ryan Gosling and Harrison
Ford
Rated R
In
the sequel to the cult classic, thirty years have passed, and a new
blade runner unearths a long-buried secret that has the potential to
plunge what's left of society into chaos.
The discovery leads him on a quest to find Rick Deckard, a former LAPD blade runner who has been missing for 30 years.
“Blade Runner 2049” is a stunningly shot, cinematic feast. The style of the photography remind the viewer of the original's style and symmetry.
The film, like its predecessor, is slow-paced and deliberate.
But
“Blade Runner 2049” falls short as the story simply does not know
what to do with its characters. The script meanders and sputters
never really coming to the boil fans of the original are expecting.
Instead, the film runs out of gas and coasts to a stop, leaving the audience with the feeling something's left undone.

In
the end “Blade Runner 2049” is a wonderful example of cinematic
eye-candy with little substance backing it up.
It
gets a C and is rated R.
