Must Watch

Rating: 8/10 (6 May 2019)

The lighting in the movie played a big role in the vibe that the atmosphere gave off it gave it
this sense of mystery and almost an ominous feeling that continued throughout the entire movie. There was very little natural light and everything seemed to be covered in darkness. Essentially the whole movie takes place in the shadows and the tactics that are used to for the most part determine someone's humanity seem as though it could be a problem for some people in the real world. This movie seems very driven in one direction never truly deviating from the path set in the very beginning too much. The beginning scene starts with a man being interrogated and they are zoomed in on his eyes as this takes place this sets the tone for what the world has in store for you. This is followed but a superhuman display even furthering the point that this is a sci-fi world. With later world building you can find some of the story grounded in reality that would remind the viewer of the world that we live in. There are other references to the our society with what is essentially the police in this movie. They for the most part enlisted Harrison Ford as a hit man that is to take out the replicants in the movie. These replicants possess superhuman strength and have a lifespan of 4 years. The only true way to tell the difference is through a series of questions that is testing their memories because they can only remember back so far due to the fact that they have implanted memories. He is tasked with finding all the remaining replicants in the world and eliminating them entirely. Along the way after taking out a few replicants he meets one that for some reason he finds different from the other and decides not to kill her after she saves him from a very near death situation. During this time they have a conversation that strongly foreshadows a very important plot twist towards the end of the of the movie. He then proceed to give him a lesson in humanity and how things are done by invoking humans natural instincts for reproduction within the human race. The very end of the movie throws one of the biggest plot twist when it is reveals that he is one of the replicants that he has been hunting the entire time. The movie leaves you with many question and a desire for a follow-up story on what happens to them if they are hunted like he stated that would happen in the movie. This movie was a confusing journey that left many stones unturned but was interesting and needs a sequel
