Blade Runner 2049; the 2049th movie in the Blade Runner franchise, and the movie meant to kick off the Drive-Blade Runner shared universe, takes some bold risks, but ultimately isn’t as fun or action-packed as the other 2048 installments. Ryan Gosling returns as The Driver, but gone are the clever wisecracks and pop-culture references that littered Drive, instead replaced with a dark, brooding, and dare I say boring, character. I left the theater feeling confused and empty, why was Jared Leto a robot? Was Harrison Ford playing a character, or did he just wander onto the set? Why was The Driver dating a cartoon?
Boring, nonsensical. 7/10
