You tell me... and if you can't watch it until you can.
What is it with all the 'what is so good... can someone explain this..." threads I keep seeing all over the gaming/film boards at the moment?
Work it out yourself - that's the point.
Yeah, I know, snarky. But true.

lol, I know I hate those threads myself and I said that in my own thread too. We can still discuss the movie though :)

True. True. I just hate the whole 'explain this' mentality. The whole point of a film like Blade Runner - or the novel on which it is based - is you experience it for yourself. The whole idea of a neat pamplet explaining it all is just horrible for me. Put some leg work in and think for yourself is my motto.
That being said, the setting, exploration of what it means to be human - and by extension inhuman - plus in Roy Batty one of the coolest characters commited to film, coupled with what is still arguably the most convincing portrayal of a futuristic city make for something special if you watch this is on a very big screen.
Every frame of the film is astonishing in its depth of information and clarity of composition. If only more SF films like this existed vs tripe like Transformers (although the first one was actually okay, but the second seriously nuked the fridge while screwing the pooch at the same time).
