5.0 out of 5 stars
One of those Sci-fi classics,
By Cozy Evenings with a Book "Book Lover" (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)
This review is from: Blade Runner: The Final Cut (2-Disc Special Edition) (DVD)
Blade Runner is a sci-fi movie which takes place in Los Angeles in the year 2019. Replicants are genetically engineered organic robots that look, move and talk exactly like humans. They cannot be used on Earth but instead used to go off-world for dangerous missions such as labor work on planets where the environment is not suitable for humans. Since Replicants are highly intelligent (said to have the mind and brain of people who designed them) they can disobey Earth laws and come back to our planet. Those who do are hunted down and killed by a special task force called Blade Runners. Harrison Ford is a retired blade runner but is pulled back for a mission to hunt down a couple of replicants who came back to earth and have already killed a couple of citizens.Considering how many years ago this film was made, the special effects still leave me almost breathless. I'm not sure what it is about the movie, but i always watch it in sort of a trance. I know the music is one factor, but i think the way the filming was done is another. Younger people might find this movie to be boring, but i think older audience will appreciate the story and the way the movie was made. It may be confusing at first, but try researching about the movie on the internet, and it will become much clear to you. When i read somewhere the ultimate question about this movie "Is Dex a Replicant himself?", i was totally taken by surprise. After i watched this movie the first time, i never even suspected him to be a Replicant himself. Keep this question in mind when you watch this, and the movie becomes a lot more interesting. I consider this to be on the same level as Alien 1 and 2 along with Stargate. Its just one of those older sci-fi that doesnt matter how much time goes by, they'll always be a good watch.

Not the movie I fell in love with,

This review is from: Blade Runner: The Final Cut [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
Blade Runner has been a favorite movie of mine for a very long time. When the Blu-Ray version of Final Cut came out I just had to own it. But ... I didn't realize that the voice-over had been cut. In my view, the movie is hardly worth watching without the voice-over. Not only did it explain so much, but it gave the film it's 'film noir' feel and it added to the overall general dark and moody vision of the future. What was Ridley Scott thinking??Sure the extended scenes are nice but who wants to watch it now ... it's just a long, dreary story with no heart. Why mess with such an iconic movie? What a huge disappointment!
