Replicants

Rating: 5/10 (1 December 2013)

Ridley Scott directed this adaptation of the Philip K. Dick story that stars Harrison Ford as Rick Deckard, a retired replicant(enhanced human clones used on colony worlds with limited lifespans but unstable personalities) hunter called back into service to locate and destroy a group of replicants that have returned to Earth to kill their creator. The worst of them is Roy Batty(played by Rutger Hauer) who becomes Deckard's chief opponent. Though visually striking and quite imaginative, what is sorely lacking is a compelling story with relatable characters, since this film is otherwise cold and uninvolving. Still, the acting is fine, and it has become a huge cult favorite, but though I have repeatedly tried, I just can't get into it.
