NO GO
Lost all credibility for me early on when the recording of Decker interviewing Rachael was changed from: “Is this testing whether I’m a Replicant or a lesbian, Mr. Deckard?”
to: “Is this testing whether I’m a Replicant or a nympho, Mr. Deckard?”
I find it offensive that this was changed.
The story is based on some “miracle” that happened to a replicant. A very thin plot that could have been told in less than an hour. None of the very little plot made any sense. do not waste your time or money going to see this.
The original blade runner had gritty street-scenes that were immersive and set the stage for believing, imagining, and then becoming immersed in the context of a dystopian future. So they want to find the child of Deckard and Rachael because this is a replicant that can reproduce, which is supposedly more efficient than just growing them, for some reason. They say they need more replicants to colonize the outer colonies, but of course, there are plenty of people living in squalor, including a child labor sweatshop.
We meet a replicant cop named K who is of a new variety that doesn’t rebel unlike those bad ones in the movies. So he tracks down a Runaway Nexus 8, even though in the original movie, we were assured that Nexus 8’s only had 4 year lifespans. During the course of this, they discover the bones of Rachael from the original movie, along with the realization she had given birth.

I can’t emphasize enough how at two hours and 43 minute, this is a long boring, uninteresting movie. It’s like they watched the original and still had no idea what made it a good movie.
