Blade Runner: Black Out 2022

This felt way too short and the plot basically a deus ex machina and the ending more or less leaves the universe how it started.

To pad the review out a lot didn't make sense to me.

Why make a new series of nexus without an expiration date ? It was supposed to be the fail safe ! Asking for trouble.

Why would humans basically go on an all out war hunting these new nexus? Considering blade runners exist for this purpose?

Where are the blade runners, we don't see any and it's supposed to be upto them to take these nexus out ?

Don't they have any kind of way to restrict nexus models coming to earth ? Really ? I assume they would have to come in through some kind of a port ?

Really it was too short and the plot felt way too simple and resolved way too easily but ultimately the story left the world how it began just with different names.

Tbh nothing much to say here a 15 min short on the origin of the Blackout which was a catastrophic global event in the Blade Runner universe that led to the the fall of the Tyrell Corporation.

The story was alright alot of things left unanswered but you could make out some parts. The animation was flawless with a respectable artstyle and the music choices were amazing. We honestly didn't get to know much about the characters so I can't say much for them either.

Overall an enjoyable short flim that was fine for the most part. If you just wanna watch more Blade Runner then this it.

It's 2022. Tyrell is producing the new Nexus 8 series with a natural lifespan. They are indeed more human than human. Human supremacy movements rise up to hunt down Replicants using registry databases. The Replicants rebel against their human masters attacking the databases including the use of an EMP. The resulting blackout leads to the prohibition of Replicant production and the end of the Tyrell Corporation. It's over a decade before Wallace Corp starts manufacturing a new breed of Replicants.

This is very much like the animated shorts in Animatrix. It helps paint a picture of this movie universe and fills out some plot elements connecting the original 1982 movie to the upcoming sequel. It taps into the old movie to prepare fans for the new movie. I can't explain why seeing the Pan Am logo feel so exhilarating. This is good for both plot and for stylistic reengagement.

I loved this movie. But once I watched it per se and not as a sequel. And I think this one is far better on many aspect (easthetically, actors, etc) than it's elder. The original was cult (overrated, IMO, even when it was released) and this one won't ... but it's a better movie.

The medium (short-film) was my issue, I simply don't care for short films: Just too short to say much or do much. I liked the potential for the characters.
