An Exercise In Nonsense

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Watching a man (Harrison Ford) investigate the whereabouts of robots in a snail-paced and lethargic fashion in director Ridley Scott's Blade Runner in 2018 is almost a torturous experience not because of how it is ahead of itself in retrofitting futurism in its hollow plot borrowed from a hollow story with, at best, two key takeaways but because of the emotionless narrative that puts emphasis only on the production setup and not on the proceedings which are as dull as the overall tepid writing and wooden performances. TN.

Bladerunner is my favorite movie because its so immersive and the noir ambiance takes you into another world no matter how surreal. I never thought Decker was a replicant never even thought of it until all the hype from the new film which does a great job too :)

I thought it'll be a movie after "Do androids dream of electric sheep" novel. Boy, was I wrong. This movie is after... nothing that makes any bit of sense.The film makers decided to thoroughly recreate some not-so-important scenes from the while entirely omitting all the context, all the plot, almost all the philosophy - all the substance of the book. And all the common sense.This is easily the most boring movie I've ever forced myself to sit through. And while whether you get bored or not is a matter of perception, it's a cold hard fact that the movie has no substance.

This is easily one of the most overrated sci fi flicks ever. I challenge anyone to read the screenplay the whole way through without falling asleep. Yes, it's very visual and Vangelis did a good, appropriate (not amazing) soundtrack to give it that dark depressing "dystopia" bit....OK, fine...but that's it. No characters of even the tiniest interest to either love OR hate, a laughably bumbling love angle, and almost zero action except for one brief flurry around half-way through and another at the end. Speaking of which, a totally stupid ending...not Roy saving Decker, that was a great idea (and where it should have ended), but then Decker and Rachel hooking up and going....? where? And do we care? No. This movie was loaded with over-the-top pretentiousness and about zero believability, even given the premise. I saw it in the 80s and went "eh." I just saw it now for the first time since then, as I was interested in the new one and wanted this as a base, but found it's even worse than I remember. Read the review titled "So very very boring"....a bit harsh but sums it up fairly well (and is more entertaining than this entire film).
