Blade Runner: The Director's Cut (1991)

(L.A.; 2019)

I hadn’t seen ‘Blade Runner’, but it mostly lives up to the hype. The art direction is very distinctive and fully realized, and deserving of its much praise, especially considering it was done in 1982. However I found the parts of the film with Harrison Ford in it to be less interesting then those without him. I mean the replicants were kind of interesting, they were in a very trapped sort of situation and dealing with real existential issues, while Ford was basically playing the standard film noir detective we’ve seen done better before.
