Pleasant surprise
I wasn't sure what to expect from this. Most dystopian style movies find some way to blame plastic straws and Styrofoam for the bleak future of rising oceans, poverty and climate change. There's nothing like that here. If there's any woke in this flick, I completely missed it.
The acting and directing are top tier.
The special effects are as good as anything going.
The movie continued to develop the original story in a very interesting direction. It was a little slow moving at times but that works here. At 164 minutes, it still somehow seemed too short. I saw this in the theaters when it first came out. It took watching it a second time to get the full impact of the story. It's not shallow. It's real science fiction. It's rare that a sequel is as good as the original. I would call this a must-see for any fan of the original Blade Runner.
