Blade Runner, 1982 - ★★★★

The Final Cut

When I last watched Blade Runner, 4 years ago on DVD, I was surprised how well it had stood the test of time. Apart from the video screens and graphics it all still looks fantastic. This time I found myself struggling with the structure and story a little. With Alien Covenant still relatively fresh in my mind I started to wonder how good a storyteller Ridley Scott actually is or if the style in which the story unfolds here now just feels dated (it's also possible that I was too tired even though I do already know the story). It still all comes together in the end but I'm already starting to think this may end up being a quite good prequel to Villeneuve's better film
