A young blade runner's discovery of a long-buried secret leads him to
track down former blade runner Rick Deckard, who's been missing for
thirty years.
Highly successful sequel to a sci-fi classic, visually stunning and with
an even more bleak neo-noir vision of the future, assembles an
excellent cast for its complex, a bit overwrought - and overlong -
story.
On re-watching: like the original it's simply worth taking in all the visual style.

Agatha Christie-like crime mystery, complete with a large cast of stars with little chance to show their talents, is nicely set and mildly entertaining, although the Trump-era allusions are so slight that they are hardly noticeable.
