Finally got a round to seeing this. I loved the original movie. Rutger Hauer was fantastic in it even (if not especially ) up to his last lines. I really enjoyed this sequel. At first I was instantly put off by the opening description doing some world building. I think that's a cheap way to tell a story. Not cheap by budget, I mean that it's cheap in creative effort. Let the story tell itself through the settings, the actions, the script, and the actors. No need for shortcuts in a long movie like this. And it was long. And I didn't mind how long it was. I wasn't bored, I was interested and invested throughout the entire movie. I think fans of the original would like this.
