Style over substance

Rating: 5/10 (17 November 2019)

I really don't get the obsession with this movie! This is a prime example of style over substance. Blade runner is incredibly slow and very little happens over the course of the whole film. I understand that it's visual effects are incredibly imaginative and influential, but at the end of the day, a film is supposed to be entertaining and I'm afraid this wasn't particularly. None of the characters are remotely likeable or relatable. The carachter of Roy Batty was kind of cool but I'm not sure I completely understood his motives. This isn't a horrendous film, but to me, it really doesn't live up to it's reputation.
