This is probably the best legacy-quel I've ever seen (that is, a sequel that came out long after the original). It stays true to the themes of the first one, and keeps its very slow, subdued nature in favour of a soulless cashgrab.
I found that I got a lot more out of a rewatch of Blade Runner 2049. Not only was the plot a lot more clear, but so were some of the subtle messages about what it means to be human and all that cyberpunk philosophy. It was a much more enjoyable and enriching experience this time around.
I still can't stand the characterization of Wallace, though. He doesn't feel real, he feels like a really good actor reading lines of poetry instead of saying what they mean. Like, imagine if you asked me how my day has been, and I start telling you about how birds don't have a place to roost unless they put stop flapping their wings and go find a branch to settle in.
You'd look at me like I'm insane. Wallace's dialogue (which may as well be monologue) sounds like it was written by a crazy person.

Great movie, though.
