    Blade Runner 2049. Visually spectacular, and was impressed at first glance. But thinking about it afterwards, it seems somewhat misogynistic.
    "Virtual girlfriend" implementation is just dumb - mobile terminal with a "ringtone" that goes off at inopportune moments to let everyone know you have one (and K is too dumb to switch it to silent mode when out and about or change the default), and a "cloud backup" implementation that's (a) not client-side encrypted and (b) unrecoverable if you break the terminal so what was the point of it anyway? In any case, Joi is just a thin plot device to allow K not to procure a prostitute directly and so tarnish him in the viewer's eyes as a 'hero' (as if a cold-blooded killer and corpse mutilator would have any compunctions in that department).

    Wouldn't enjoy watching it again.
