In 30 years the atmosphere will be a dusty, musty haze. There won't be a lot of real food and leftover replicants will be everywhere. I'm a-scared.

Gosling is an older model still doing so retirements on newer ones that are a bit more free-willed. He comes upon a replicant (Bautista) who is a synthetic farmer and an escapee. They dook it out and Gosling wins. He also accumulates some evidence from a buried skeleton next to a tree (dead, of course). The investigation shows cut marks on the pelvis which reveal a serial number. It was a female pelvis and it appears there had been a crude C-Section. A hybrid human-replicant is alive!

Now we sink into the surreal landscape of the near future and the glacially unfolding story of self-discovery. Leads take Gosling around the block in his search for serial numbers, real memories, and avatar love. He meets, beats, and allies himself with Ford to get to the bottom of this conundrum.

This is a very long film but the visually spectacular elements keep you going. The script was good and the CGI was excellent. The future never looked so bad.

I'm soooo triggered that I want to save the trees, whales, atmosphere . . . wait! The world is going to be that bad in 30 years! At least we will have replicant prostitutes keeping a smile on our faces.



Art direction is out of the ballpark.
