Review of Blade Runner (1982) by Alex A — 11 Apr 2014
Blade Runner has eye-popping visuals for its time, a soothing musical score, a good blend of Sci-Fi neo-noir and Cyberpunk, and good characters. It's storyline is pretty simple, but its philosophies about what it's like to be human are what really stand out.
Sadly from my perspective, Blade Runner's pacing is far too slow, and for a film with many messages about life, many sections in the film where not much is happening make it feel lifeless at times.
The performances are good, Rutger Hauer being the best with his incredible improvised "tears in rain" monologue, but ultimately Blade Runner didn't leave a big impression.
