Bladerunner 2049.

Bladerunner 2049.
I seriously fail to understand what direction the world is moving. What I expected and imagined to what this movie turns out to be are so poles apart, Wow! totally unbelievable, the crap of the first order. That too in 3D. Guess the makers have started making movies with only one purpose in mind, confuse the audience properly and impress Mr. Christopher Nolan one way or other. Period.
Year is 2049 so of-course world has ended, the blackout that happens in 2020 is nothing but a Nuclear blast ending everything for a week and then again we start evolving. If not humanly, genetically enhanced life, Bingo that was the last thing which no one tried yet so there you go, this guy did that too. Practically no explanation given as the audience which is keen will go on Google and read about it and satisfy themselves before talking to anyone else about the movie who may see it or not, again just to impress that they actually got what the maker wanted to tell. My Foot! May be I am too old school whose idea of excitement watching a movie is a sweating spitting McKenna on a horseback looking for gold in an African desert. And the current generation of Directors want to impress me and my likes my pulling them inside a Computer System with every second movie. Call it Virtual Reality, Artificial Intelligence and tons of CGI with an earth shattering background score. Use an old superb movies name to pull the crowd in, throw back Harrison Ford in a sort of a little more then a guest appearance. And Voila! you have made a crappy movie lasting 2 hours 45 minutes with almost nothing going on, wait a minute, its just a start, they are now going to come out with a sequel and five more parts following that to satisfy the more imaginative crowd. With population growing at a breakneck pace, everything has millions of takers.
If you have seen this, you have my sympathy(s) and if you have not, skip it as its total crap. Still if you plan to see and actually end up seeing it. Do let me know if it makes any sense to you. Oh and for people watching it in India, full sympathies as censor board has done total justice to whatever little sensuality the movie had, if you know what I mean.
