Blade Runner has just about everything I like. Scifi, noir, synth score. Plus Harrison Ford and early Ridley Scott. Probably should be my favorite movie ever, but I still think that’s Jaws.

The plot gets a little repetitive and lags in the middle but it’s beautiful.

damn im glad to you see blade runner haters coming out of a hiding.

i remember posting awhile back about how overrated blade runner was and was damn near ran off GRB!!!!

I thought I had seen Blade Runner before, but then I watched it earlier this week and realized I was picturing Total Recall.

I think it's a movie that definitely loses its charm if you see it after the dozens of movies influenced by it. I wouldn't say it's terrible, but seeing it for the first time I wasn't awestruck or eager to watch it again in the near future/ever.

That said I will absolutely go see Blade Runner 2049.

[go birds]

yea im seeing 2049 not because of the blade runner factor but because of the denis villenueve factor

I tried to give Blade Runner another go yesterday and it really is just an unwatchable terrible movie.

Haha you're wrong and probably mental

Nah, it's cool though. I hate almost all the quality Oscar-bait dramas, for instance.

Well technically I got through the movie, I phrased that wrong. I had it on and watched a good chunk of the beginning but after awhile I just let it play why I surfed the web and made food with it nearby hoping that when it did get going I would be nearby to return my full attention to it but it never did. I wouldn't even go so far as to say its a terrible movie in the art of movie making, just that the story and plot of the movie didn't capture my imagination. If you loved the movie then good for you, I'm in no trying to take that away from you. Just saying it did nothing for me.

For a long time I thought I had seen Blade Runner, but then I realized I was picturing the Running Man.

Me too, but I was picturing Strange Brew.

I thought I had seen Blade Runner before but actually it was Logan's Run.
