Not as Advertised

Rating: 5/10 (1 April 2007)

Some "Professional" reviewer called this film "The Blade Runner for th 21st Century." Sorry, personally it can't touch Blade Runner. I was disappointed by the hype. It was a tad boring to me. Don't get me wrong - I like science-fiction and many of the dystopian views of the future. but this one left me wanting. I never had a vested interest in any of the characters, and the whole thing left me pretty bored. It was too formulaic in my view. There was never an "oh wow!" moment for me. The whole thing just plodded along for nearly two hours. It might be a good premise, and the director is very good, but I think that it didn't come across on the screen too well. I have no idea how good the original story was - I haven't read it.
