Story
I understand this is a prequel for Blade Runner 2049 but while i appreciate this i don't really admire it. For starters are we to expect 2049 to be a real life production or anime or a mixture of the two? That is some confusion there. Also, has anyone aside from me seen I, Robot 2004 American movie staring Will Smith? Or, better yet any one of the terminator movies staring Arnold Schwarzenegger? Chances are you have seen one if not both. Point being plot wise they are the same. Sure, the back story is different but the purpose remains the same. To serve mankind. To be a substitute for humans. A newer and more improved version. Or simply put human 2.0.

Maybe i am wrong maybe this 2049 movie will be different. For i have not seen it. But does it hurt to have original thinking rather than piggy backing off another idea?

Moving on... the introduction was nice. For not only did the audience get a brief explanation of the story-line but got to actually see the director and listen to his reasoning for this production. I find during a reach like this where a staff member tries to get into touch with its viewers is a great concept. For not only does it show some effort applied but allows you to view a little bit in their shoes.

Conclusion was okay but could have been better. Yes, a subtle explanation with the eye illustrated where the main character planned to go but the cool guys don't look explosions bit is a bit overdone.

Art
Computer generated. You will notice from time after time there will be brief moments where the art is different. In those few moments such as the desert scene are a nice touch. For they illustrate observation perspective. Like for example everything is not clear if you are looking at the world drunk. Also, the world is not easy to see if you are being pelted with bombs in a desert location. Sand would be kicking back at you. The ground would be rumbling. So, rather than keeping the same art it was kind of interesting to see how adaptive to creative techniques the artists could take to show the stresses of these moments.

Overall: Yes, the plot is not original but the art is something worth seeing at certain moments.
