Maybe in 1982 this was considered good sci-fi

Rating: 2/10 (3 October 2007)

This movie was made a year after I was born. I've heard many times since then how iconic this film is, how it's one of those films you just have to see.
To all those who think this: what movies are you watching?! Blade Runner's special effects may have been hot in the early 80s, but today they're predictably lame.
But that's not the worst part. That I can live with. It's the story line that's awful! It's so boring and long-winded, I can't imagine anyone watching this today (without the distraction of the special effects, which no longer distract at all) and thinking it's actually good. The story line might have worked for a 45 minute TV movie, but for a feature film it's way too basic.
"Man makes android. Android turns on man. Android tries to find place alongside man. Man tries to kill android. Man learns from this." Please. Give me a little more credit. What a waste of time.
