Could of been more.... but still good

Rating: 7/10 (23 December 2017)

Blade Runner is directed by Ridley Scott. No doubt, Scott is a visionary director. That is certainly on display in this film. Scott builds a world that is stunning and immersive. The film boasts great effects and is truly a visual masterpiece that is complimented by Vangelis' excellent soundtrack.
This film is ambitious and certainly is ahead of its time. While the film has ambitions, some of the scenes fall flat due to inconsistent acting and undeveloped concepts. Some of the acting is great in this film. Harrison Ford as Deckard and Rutger Hauer as Roy give great performances. While both of these actors give us these great performances, it's the actors that play the Replicants who make good scenes feel dry and certainly don't do Ford and Hauer's characters justice. While there are heart-pumping moments in this movie, some of the scenes are just flat-out boring and feel like they're missing something that would make for an intriguing scene. Despite the negatives, the plot advances smoothly and makes for a memorable story.
This movie is definitely a classic though, but because of the visuals and effects, rather than the content of the film. I like this film, I don't love it and that's why my overall score is: 7.8/10
