It was okay. The story is honestly a bit s*** if you compare it to the original, but if you just take it as a soft remake it was nice. There's not that many movies like this out there.
Film looked great, soundtrack went almost purely with nostalgia which I think was probably the right choice. There was a lot of effort and love clearly put into it. The script unfortunately wasn't quite up to par. There's good ideas here and there, but none of it really goes anywhere and the way the story goes forward is just downright clumsy at times. Few really stupid moments made it a rather uneven experience. In any case a valiant effort.
Overall I give it a 4/5.
One think I would like to complain about though is the pointless T&A. Seriously just wtf was the need for all those highly sexualized nude female bodies thrown around? Considering almost every other visual aspect of the movie was so incredibly faithful to the original, the gratuitous T&A stood out in a very sad way.
I mean, the original Blade Runner is possibly the only film ever with a scene in a strip bar where they don't show the stripping. It's great that feminism has made headway in the roles they offer for women, but that just made it all the more weird to have those so obviously unnecessary additions to the film. Just out of place and annoying.
