An absolutely beautiful film, which makes it even more of a shame that I found it so disagreeable overall. As a generic dystopian film it is not terrible, but the main plot puzzle/catalyst makes no sense and had no emotive power for me (partly because it made no sense). And as the sequel to Blade Runner, the tone was completely wrong. Very disappointing, overall. I suppose I'll have to suffer through another one in a couple years, though, assuming the box office numbers perk up a bit.
On a side-note, I'm glad I saw it on IMAX. As noted, it is a beautiful film and it looked great in that format.
