Blade Runner (Final Cut) | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

A disjointed, implausible sci-film so trapped in photographic maneuvers that it's lifeless.

One of the more imaginative and less realized movies of this or any year. Scott directs as if he were a doctor about to deliver some giant conception, and never once notices that this mountain of a movie is giving birth to little more than a mouse.

Ridley Scott ought to be a set decorator, rather than a director. In Blade Runner, he loses sight of the story while devoting all his attention to decor and lighting. The decor and lighting, it must be admitted, are stupendous.

Some of us saw it and loved it early. Some of us saw it later in life or in broken forms before coming to love or respect it.

If a machine thinks independently, feels, and even loves, is it alive? How do we decide who/what deserves a chance at life and freedom? Blade Runner doesn't answer those questions...but it does make you think.
