I am not sure what enticed me to watch this movie over the summer.
There were plenty of reasons to choose another movie.
I was looking at the IMDB top 250 to try and find a good movie. Though I will say
It is not the best list I have ever seen compiled. It can be a great reference,
Towards the bottom I stumbled across Blade Runner. Now I don't know what caught my
attention first. That it was starring Harrison Ford and based on a novel that sounded pretty cool.
Or that it is just one kick ass name for a movie. I mean think about it Blade Runner, its just
a name that wreaks awesome.
I went out and bought a copy. And to begin with let me say I was impressed.
The musical score was excellent. I felt like the entire time I was in the middle of a futuristic dystopia.
Harrison Ford is on top of his game. Hes tough but not to tough.
It is clear that he is not stronger than then replicants he is chasing. Nor is he smarter.
I don't want to give away to much of the plot.
But more or less he is a futuristic bounty hunter.
He develops a relationship though with a replicant (more or less an android) that saves his life.
It plays an interesting dynamic on his character.
The entire movie is very dark and gloomy. Casting a shadow to what our futures may be in a world that constantly relies on technology.
And the last few minutes are just awesome.
My overall opinion 8 out of 10
Check this one out if you get a chance.
