Blade Runner 2049

Moments of meaning and brilliance interspersed with indecipherable, seemingly random scenes. In parts, this seems an intentional device to create confusion with the promise of clarity in later scenes - a common device in Sci-Fi and Fabtasy films. At other times, the confusion betrays itself as a loss of direction with no real point. Silence and wandering take up a good portion of the film. In all, I found it to be a ponderous attempt at a sequel story but with great acting and some ideas which never fully develop and are definitely not enough to compensate for pace problems, confusion and contradicting actions.
