I just came from wasting $4.75 on Blade Runner Nano-review: Don't see it, it sucks mostly. Review: The first hour and 1/4 is terrible. Hokey dialoge, rediculous premise. The title doesn't fit in. The special effects don't get in the way, but they don't thrill you out of your gourd either. How they can push that stuff on us is unknown to me. Bring a lot of suspension of disbelief if you go to see this flick. After that part, we get into the action. This is well done and full of suspense. Not worth the first part though, where you sit hoping you can leave without missing anything. Then we get the ending, which is really tacky. Don't see this film unless Harrison Ford is your god, and you want to see your god make a fool of himself doing stupid voice-overs of his thoughts.

I just saw Blade Runner yesterday, and although I didn't think it was a film classic, I found it to be an enjoyable film. I would agree that as high drama, the films falls short of the mark, indulging a bit in srtange scenes of the L.A. of the future. On the other hand, I thought that those scenes were captivating and amusing. I went to the film expecting something like a futuristic dective [oops - dectective] movie, and that's just what I got.
