A cyberpunk and mystery sci-fi thriller all in one

Rating: 8/10 (12 July 2018)

It wasn't until my teens that I watched this film. It was a little hard to follow but I got into it and it made me interested in cyberpunk. That's a brand of science-fiction that deals with urban environments and cybernetics and computer technology. Think TV shows like Batman Beyond and games like Deus Ex. But this could very well be the precursor to all those different cyberpunk sagas. Here is the story of a gang of near-human androids known as Replicants who want to live comfortable lives. But not if the LAPD has anything to say about it. Harrison Ford plays a police detective whose job it is to eliminate these near-humans. Can he do it? Will the Replicants claim victory? Is he destined for a quick funeral? You'll have to watch and find out.
