Review: Blade Runner: Final Cut

Rating: 3/4 stars
If you don’t know anything about Blade Runner, you’ve been living under a rock for the last 20 years. As plodding (read: boring) as it may be at times, it is probably the most influential scifi movies ever. The cityscapes, the hover cars, the advertisements, the lights, all spectacular.
It’s amazing to see how well the film has held up for 25 years. The cities still look futuristic and the film doesn’t look like it’s ages a day. The only element that places it in the 80s are the flamboyant shirts Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) wears and the huge shoulder pads Rachael (Sean Young) wear. Aside from that, Blade Runner looks like it could’ve been made today and still be making a believable look into the future.
At last, the issue of whether Deckard is a replicant or not is answered. Short answer, he is.
