This above average television movie is a good sequel to "Bladerunner." While containing the basis elements of "Total Recall" in terms of virtual reality and brain-washing and the red tone color of Mars, this android-like movie (replicant isn't used in the movie) has many of the trappings of Bladerunner, the music, the rain, the Asian population, the outside, neon advertising. The plot is decent, the special effects credible. Except for loose ending (as if the producer ran out of money or there was hope for a television series), this movie is tight, intelligent and steers away from the usual stereotypes. The law enforcement administration plays it straight for the most part (a big change, a refreshing change), the forward movement of plot development from "Bladerunner" makes this movie a good sequel, building on "Bladerunner" instead of just copying it. Seven out of ten stars. (January 25, 2019 update: This review possibly refers to the first and second episode of what eventually turned into a Canadian television series).
