Was really looking forward to this and it pretty much sucked. The style over substance ratio was off the charts and waaayyy too long for what it had to offer. To say they missed the mark on this is a huge understatement

I have to agree - I fell asleep for major portions of this movie. I found it to be overlong and boring and a lot of style over substance. There is too much open to interpretation or misinterpretation. I prefer a film that states its case and doesn't go so deep into maybe maybe nots that it ends up making no sense in either context.

When we went to see it at the theatre, pop was most disappointed by the soundtrack. As a huge fan of the original film and its score, he thought this one was more or less just 'noise.' I tend to agree. Beyond that, I thought it was a pretty average film. Certainly not worthy of the great praise that folks had heaped upon it. I was just slightly more bored than entertained.

There were different ideas on the sequel, FM Synthesis is one of them. But there were also some similarities such as extended heavy sawtooth pads and such.

The score was definitely more jarring than it needed to be at times. It’s a shame because I love old school synth scores and offbeat cues but the classic volume war between music and dialog again was a mess.

The worst part for me was when K drowned that woman,I can't remember her name. That was awful.There should have been a shootout and K should have killed her during the shootout. Also remember that it's the future,she could be resurrected any number of ways.

Overkill?

Sympathetic - but wrong forum for something of that magnitude.

I don't think that there was much style or substance. I didnt particularly enjoy the audio or visual, and there wasn't anything particularly inventive that I noticed in the set or in how it was shot.
spoilers
I also found chunks of it incoherent, dubious or just stupid with an over emphasis on coincidence, the main gripes being:
It had some things going for it though, so I'd give it a solid 5/10. But it was achingly ordinary in a whole range of areas where Bladerunner was outstanding.

Right on the nose. Not a terrible movie, but when great movies are so hard to come by, people seem ready to laud almost anything.

It was never going to measure up to the original.. Ridley Scott is just too masterfull... However, it was a good effort... Undeserving of the heated criticism...

Thank you for taking the time to reply. The fact I am having to wreck my brain to remember anything about this film 2 months after I watched it underlines the lack of impact it had on me.
Really? He had grounds to be so confident that the paperwork was correctly processed and filed that he had gone from being an imminent threat to the life of his daughter, to being no risk at all?
My point here is it would be idiotic from a business perspective to invest in the technology to make a replicant drown in a human fashion. What next, let's spend money on R&D to give replicants realistic warts, diahorrea and lisps?
Presumably one in every 365 or so would thought which was loads. Plus I dont think the birthday was central to discovering the horse?
This is just pure speculation. There was no hint of any of that in the various different cuts of Bladerunner. There certainly wasnt in Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep.
Why would I study in detail a movie I gave 5/10? If there is someone who is making no sense here, I think it is more likely to be the one MAKING THINGS UP TO FIT AN ARGUMENT. :p
