Review of Final Analysis (1992) by Xsinx — 18 Jun 2017
Always been a fan of a good scifi movie... I was like 6 when this came out and didn't watch it back then and for some reason never got around to watching it until recently. I've been told numerous times this was a classic, one of the best of the genre. Well wait, I did watch it like 10 years ago after a friend told me it was his favorite movie of all times and I honestly don't remember any of it, other than I felt it was pretty boring. So a couple months ago I watched it and fell asleep on it... and now I finally got around to watching it fully, well rested and with no expectations.
I just feel the jell-o doesn't take hold... It seems like the whole plot is very shallow and uneventful. Throughout the movie, you don't quite get what the runaway replicants want exactly and by the time you do, they pretty much learn they can't do anything about it... Then it just becomes a succession of extremely cheesy action scenes (the whole JF Sebastian apartment ending, geez man, give me a break).
Overall, it was a pretty excruciating experience to watch. Granted, it was ahead of it's time and there was a lot of originality, but story-wise, it was in my opinion terrible. I hope Denis Villeneuve's upcoming follow up mops the floor with this, won't be hard IMHO.
