A visual treat .....

Rating: 7/10 (11 May 2014)

I re watched BLADE RUNNER on blu-ray recently. This film is the definition of visual treat. But there aren't that many long/wide shots (except when you see those monumental buildings which are all special effects I guess) so at times I did get this feeling that the sets were really small and it was all probably shot in a few rooms.
Deckhard's character was too pulpy. In PKD's book, he is more of a pathetic figure and not that tough. The book was more melancholic and hilarious and had more social commentary. The film is visually stunning but there wasn't enough character development. It is so much about the visuals, somehow the dialogs, the characters and the story are always in the background.
But still, a great visual treat.
