Good, but could be better

Rating: Null/10 (22 July 1999)

This movie is a truly amazing feet in story and special effects.
Though this movie is very deep with thought and originality, it could be better. It was made in the early 80s, a time before we realized computers role in civilization. Blade Runner fails to envision computerizations effects on culture. The movie 'Ghost in the Shell' is very similar, but it understands the need for the internet and computers in your pocket. You get to see people with a computer hooked to net implanted into their brains. That is more of what computers will become some day. You will have to buy 'upgrades' for your brain. The ability to play solitare or StarCraft while your at a boring movie with your date. Just sit back and relax.
Even today, we have laptops with cellular phones. You can acess the internet from anywhere today. Some day, you will surf the net with your mind. Computers where unsure machines in the time this movie was made. The actual use of computer was uncertain. We now use it for everything.
Blade Runner was really ahead of its time. But it didn't see computer as much more than a tool. You would also expect for a Blade Runner to have special cybornetic implants to at least give them a fighting chance against the replicants. Without their guns, Blade Runners are good as dead.
