Blade Runner: Black Out 2022

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.

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.

"Life does not mean living." Shin'ichirō Watanabe (Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo) in writing and direction; Shūkō Murase (Ergo Proxy) in character design; and Paul Chadeisson (Remember Me - video game) in art, makes these minutes a truly human story. A piece of animation that not only contributes to the universe Blade Runner, but also takes it further, transmitting a great empathy in the struggle to live in the world. All of this in the style that only anime can achieve.

In "Blade Runner: Black Out 2022", the style of the animation is kind of new and looks similar to that in a Japanese cartoon. However, the storytelling is really awful. There are neither impressive scenes nor memorable characters. Anyone who watches it will forget about the short almost immediately.

This third and last of the Blade Runner prequels (that is actually the first one, chronologically speaking) provides a glimpse into the events that happened soon after the original Blade Runner. Beautifully animated and directed by Shinichirô Watanabe (Cowboy Bebop, Animatrix, Samurai Champloo) Black Out 2022 is a 15 minutes must-see even if you're not a big Blade Runner fan, but plan on seeing the Blade Runner 2049 film because it provides some important elements to the story.

As I've already said in the Alien: Covenant prequel review, I really hope studios would start making more of these prequels as they actually get you in the mood for the actual film without spoiling anything, like trailers do, and also add a whole lot of substance to the overall universe.
