Watch it because it's a classic.

Rating: Null/10 (13 April 2018)

The entire movie from the intro background setting is about machines and their humanity, 'more human than human'. Having watched it in 2018, i was not surprised at the ending. The concept might have been new and refreshingly thoughtful in 1982 when the movie was released but as of now, so many other movies and TV shows have explored this concept and surprised and delighted their viewers.
Not to say that the movie didn't have its surprises. But when you have already visited the central idea multiple times, the surprises act as a cherry on the cake when the cake has gone stale.
Hats off to the excellent acting by Harrison Ford. The setting is also commendable, giving off dark post-apocalyptic vibes which its sequel failed at miserably.
Watch it because it's a classic.
