Interesting idea but weak execution

Rating: 6/10 (3 December 2019)

I watched this movie in November 2019 which, ironically enough, is when the movie takes place. The idea of the movie is interesting, especially for the time that the movie was made (1980), artificial intelligence that looks exactly like humans and are even behaving like them (wanting to live more, starting to develop emotions and not wanting to die). However this movie felt so slow and you don't feel anything for any of the characters. I wanted to like Deckard (Harrison Ford) but he was just so plain and boring. The replicants, on the other hand, feel scary and dangerous but when they confront deckard they pretty much let him kill them so easily which felt weird for me. This movie just wasnt for me. I gave a 6 because I really do feel the idea of the movie is very good and it was definitely ahead of it's time but all the rest was weak.
