Blade Runner - The Final Cut (1982)
Blade Runner is a 1982 science fiction film directed by Ridley Scott, and written by Hampton Fancher and David Peoples. Starring Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer and Sean Young, it is loosely based on Philip K. Dick's novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (1968). The film is set in a dystopian future Los Angeles of 2019, in which synthetic humans known as replicants are bio-engineered by the powerful Tyrell Corporation to work on off-world colonies. When a fugitive group of Nexus-6 replicants led by Roy Batty (Hauer) escapes back to Earth, burnt-out cop Rick Deckard (Ford) reluctantly agrees to hunt them down.

Ratings:
- Overall Rating: 2/5 - It gets a 2 instead of 1 because of how important it was in the history of science fiction films. Otherwise it is dull, poorly edited and acted.
- Look of the movie: 4/5 - It is lovely to see but has not aged as well. Still good as a time capsule for what we thought the future would look like.
- Sound of the film: 5/5 - I still remember the ambient noises and soundtrack of the film long after viewing it. The music is excellent, it fits the style perfectly.
- Perofmances: 2/5 - Terrible overall. I understand that these are robots but it is a cheap ploy to have them under and over-act in every scene. It gets a 2 instead of a 1 because of how terrible modern AI is and I believe the actors reflect this terribleness accurately.
