Decent appetizer

"Blade Runner 2049 - 2036: Nexus Dawn" is a 6-minute live action short film from very recently as this is not just a 2017 release, but actually only about a month old. And the title tells us that it is a little work to promote the new upcoming Blade Runner movie, but it is not just a fan film, but was directed by Ridley Scott's son Luke and this is far from the first time that he came up with a bit of additional material for his father's blockbuster work. Also happened on Alien recently, even if Scott is of course "only" a producer on the new Blade Runner movie.

This one here is really all about Leto's character, who he is and what his abilities are. His acting career has been on a rise since his Oscar win and one can only hope that this one here turns out better than his turn as a Joker or lets say the entire film that did not result in a good reception at all, even if it won an Oscar. But back to this short film here. A really good watch for all Leto fans and tolerable for everybody else too I guess. I give it a thumbs-up and hope the new Blade Runner will be on a similar level quality-wise.
