  "Let me tell you about my mother."

  Short of 2001: A Space Odyssey, Blade Runner has to be the most boring science fiction film of all time. Ridley Scott is a no-talent hack, a fact which has been demonstrated extensively by his subsequent output. He's a visual director with no sense of character or narrative, and this film is a classic case of all style and no substance.

  Blade Runner gets so much credit for asking "big questions" about what makes us human and how we come to terms with our finite existence, but like everything else in the film this is all on the surface with no depth or complexity. Take the famous "Tears in Rain" soliloquy from Roy…

  Review by Sally Jane Black ★★ 65

  Use of little people and Asians as props? Check. Uncomfortable sex scene with questionable consent? Check. Centering a murderous slave-catcher as our anti-hero? Check. Beloved by film nerds worldwide? Check.

  It's not even that bad; it's just nothing more than impressive set designs. The much-discussed ambiguity is a complete non-issue and not at all supported by the text (based on "the final cut," anyway); there's one moment where Deckard's humanity is brought up and it plays no meaningful role in the tension or narrative. As far as I can tell, again, assuming this probably unnecessary cut of the film doesn't differ that greatly from the others, the discussion around whether he's a replicant or not is entirely driven by a…

  Rachel?

  Yearning. Touch, feeling, skin, beauty; the search for something tangible. Seeking. Love, fear, sadness, disillusion; the search for something deeper. A simple calling of a name evokes so much more, as the silence on the other end defies simple emotion. Waiting, waiting, waiting for a answer. The fog, the mist, the darkness; it all envelops everyone and everything that seeks something real. In a world that has lost everything after gaining everything, it only makes sense that a human companion is all that's needed until the sun goes down. However, even that fundamental longing for another human is fading, as the golden glow within the eyes signals something sinister. Something artificial. Something missing.

  i love that deckard has this ultra-complex enemy of the state-esque computer that can 1000x zoom in, rotate & curve within the space of a two-dimensional high-def 4K image, but when he goes to print the picture it just gives him this shitty low-resolution polaroid

  Things I had forgotten:

  - The total dedication to realising a dystopian future. The visuals Scott managed to conjure up are truly incredible.

  - The wonderful contemplative nature of that Final Cut.

  - Rutger Hauer's presence.

  - The deliberate and exquisite pacing.

  - The way it pushes its science fiction essence to the background by making the story paramount, thus becoming a prime example of the genre.

  -Just how bloody good the whole thing is.
