Well, Chris hijacked my Netflix queue again so we got Blade Runner in the mail :) It's good though - I've heard a lot about this movie over the years so it wasn't too bad to watch it. I actually was working on my website during the movie so I didn't focus as much as I should have it - but you know, I think that was okay because by the end of the movie I was pretty convinced that giving it my full attention wouldn't have saved it for me. I'm not a big sci-fi fan and this one was just too much for me. The end was weird and it gave me creepy vibes.
As a "guest reviewer", Chris brought up a really good point about the movie. The producers of Battlestar Galactica (THE GREATEST TV SHOW EVER!) were greatly influenced by Blade Runner so we ran across a lot of story details that felt really familiar to us. Had we seen Blade Runner first, it may have felt more original, but unfairly so, we found it to be old news. The awards it should have been nominated for it was - cinematography and special effects. The production design was AMAZING - a very cool look at the future.
Blade Runner was Ridley Scott's 1982 masterpiece starring Harrison Ford - over the years it has become a real cult classic. Edward James Olmos made an appearance - WAHOO ADMIRAL ADAMA! Overall I was not a fan but if you like sci-fi, this might just be your cup of tea.
