Blade Runner 2049

Sequels and re-makes usually are. There are the odd exceptions, though. I thought the genius of the original was the 1940s film noir detective plot combined with the dystopian future shtick. That raised it above the average. If they don't keep that combination for the new one then it will be a fail.

I think a lack of appealing style is what put me off the new film, more than one karate kick in a trailer doesn't set the right tone for a Bladerunner sequel.

I do very much hope I'm wrong though.

The initial reviews are very, very encouraging with some saying it is better than the original. Check out the Telegraph's comments for example.
