Agree. I tried watching 2049 a second time and couldn't get through half. I remembered why I didn't like it the first time around - wooden acting, fight scenes that felt far too staged, the excruciating virtual girlfriend scenes, the strange absence of Asian people. Things that did work: Hans Zimmer's soundtrack, some of the big vistas toward the end.
