It's worth seeing this on the biggest screen possible and with a Dolby Atmos sound system, or the nearest equivalent, to get the most out of it. The final scenes are massively improved by the homage to the original score. Hans Zimmer and Benjamin Wallfisch did an excellent job evolving Vangelis' original themes and borrow liberally throughout from the original soundtrack. The musical score is also crucial to the rhythm and emotion of the film. While CGI landscapes are there, most of the up-close action is done on physical sets and benefits immensely from it. These characters are set against the kind of visually stunning land and cityscapes that Scott would have killed to recreate in 1982. But when given the opportunity, he shows his skills as a master thespian. He is very much a secondary character: old and flabby and spending much of the time in helpless peril. If you're expecting lots of Ford screen time, you're in for a disappointment.
