*Yawns*

Rating: 3/10 (9 September 2014)

Who knew a film named "Blade Runner", a movie with such high praise, could be so boring. TBH, I stopped paying attention halfway though, and surfed the web on my phone. Blade Runner's lone quality is it looks great. As with Alien, it does everything a sci-fi movie should do. Its dark, its detailed, and shows off the culture and technology.
Other than that? As an action film, its abysmally paced, with no special scenes or charismatic characters. As a "deep, philosophical" film...I don't buy it. You can't support your themes without strong characters. And Blade Runner's entire cast is uninteresting. It may have been intentional for them to be lifeless and robotic, but this movie didn't make me care about machines. Why even bother answering the questions this movie supposedly asks? "Is genetic engineering ethical? What makes us human?" Who cares? I don't care anymore after this film than I did before.
The noir romantic relationship had zero impact on me. Just as typical and shallow as any other relationship from the genre. But I suppose its okay, since Scott meant to do that. *eye rolls* Its another sci-fi classic that seems like it can get away with anything if its shot well and merely mentions its themes. I'm not going to give it a second chance.
