I can’t say I was overwhelmed. I found it overlong and halfway through I wished I was watching the original on the big screen.
Spoilers.......
To be positive, it did try to explore the nature of ai emotions but blew this with its treatment of women, gratuitously butchering or casually executing them.
For me, it all looked a bit murky and rather empty. I found myself visualising the busy rainy streets and the rich culture of the original. It probably didn't help I was watching the 3D here. The glasses darken the picture which was already gloomy but there was no sense of throb or any vibrance on the streets.
The music didn’t work for me either. I came out of the original with the theme still playing in my head. And this is pretty much my issue with the film. All the best things in it are from the original, this didn’t really add anything in terms of vision, creativity or style.
I guess fetishists who love the fantasy of giant women would really get a kick out of it but I just didn’t get the giant high heels in the desert scene. Gratuitous. That’s the word.
I did clock the origami sheep. A bit of a clumsy shoehorn though imo.
It isn’t a total Scott screwup but there again, it isn’t sci-fi masterpiece it wanted to be.
So, given the choice, I’d rather watch the original on the big screen than see this again.
