overall I was left wanting more. The acting was pretty good.reviews/bladerunner-neg.txt0000640003746300116100000000021212741050257015165 0ustar  shreckengWhat was Hollywood thinking with this movie! I hated,
hated, hated it. BORING! I went afterwards and demanded my money back.

myself to appreciate it fully. However, you may like it if you're into
science fiction, especially if you're interested in the philosophical
exploration of what it means to be human or machine. Some of the gizmos
like the flying cars and the Vouight-Kampff machine (which seemed very
steampunk), were quite cool.

I did find the plot pretty slow and but the dialogue and action sequences
were good. Unlike most science fiction films, this one was mostly quiet, and
not all that much happened, except during the last 15 minutes. I didn't
understand why a unicorn was in the movie. The visual effects were fantastic,
however, and the musical score and overall mood was quite interesting.
A futurist Los Angeles that was both highly polished and also falling apart
reminded me of 'Outland.' Certainly, the style of the film made up for
many of its pedantic plot holes.

If you want your sci-fi to be lasers and spaceships, 'Bladerunner' may
disappoint you. But if you want it to make you think, this movie may
be worth the money.reviews/bladerunner-pos.txt0000640003746300116100000000133412741050250015214 0ustar  shreckeng`Bladerunner` is often touted as one of the best science fiction films ever
made. Indeed, it satisfies many of the requisites for good sci-fi: a future
world with flying cars and humanoid robots attempting to rebel against their
creators. But more than anything, `Bladerunner` is a fantastic exploration
of the nature of what it means to be human. If we create robots which can
think, will they become human? And if they do, what makes us unique? Indeed,
how can we be sure we're not human in any case? `Bladerunner` explored
these issues before such movies as `The Matrix,' and did so intelligently.
The visual effects and score by Vangelis set the mood. See this movie
in a dark theatre to appreciate it fully. Highly recommended!
