This long-awaited sequel starts 30 years after the original, when a new blade runner (Ryan Gosling) is on a quest to uncover secrets and discover the fate of the original star (Harrison Ford). This film is LONG on atmosphere (and I mean 140 minutes). The wasteland settings and vast modern interiors are interesting, although they never seem as captivating as the original. There are some cool tricks, but nothing more original than numerous other films have done. Everyone is very serious and they take FOREVER to do anything. This film is about 30 minutes past its prime. Still, there are stimulating elements to the filmmaking that create magnificent moments of desolation and intrigue.
