Blade Runner 2049

"Like any great movie, Mr. Scott’s “Blade Runner” cannot be spoiled. It repays repeated viewing because its mysteries are too deep to be solved and don’t depend on the sequence of events. Mr. Villeneuve’s film, by contrast, is a carefully engineered narrative puzzle, and its power dissipates as the pieces snap into place. As sumptuous and surprising as it is from one scene to the next, it lacks the creative excess, the intriguing opacity and the haunting residue of its predecessor." Tony Scott

That said, it's still worth seeing, perhaps with ear plugs. I found the score liked to hit people over the head with unnecessary cluesticks or red herrings. I think it's the first movie I've had the score bounce me out of. It's goddamned irritating in the final furnace scene.

Product placement also hits notes that I didn't get from the first one, although I don't know who's paying for the Pan-Am placement. Coke, Sony, and Peugeot, I'm looking at you.
