Blade Runner 2049

The dystopian future is approaching at breakneck speed, and apparently--paradoxically--it will be very languid. I don't especially mind a movie with a measured pace, particularly if the film is filled with interesting details, visuals, and information. I'm not sure that description applies here. There seems to be some biological/biomechanical dilemmas posed by this outing that don't really jibe with what has gone before it (both in the original Blade Runner and in android/replicant rules as understood in the Alien movies). Plus, on top of all that, if you view the universe from a common aboriginal point of view--that all things in nature, even rocks and trees and whatnot, have souls--then a lot of the philosophical undercurrents of these films kind of goes down the drain, or at least gets muted somewhat. I can't say I ever really got bored with it, but I just suspect this movie could have been a lot better.
