Any Sci-Fi fans out there anticipating the new Bladerunner movie?
Going to be hard to follow such a cult classic.

i watched blade runner for the very first time not too long ago.
yeah, the effects and music were great. but the plot???? one of the most boring and dull plots i've ever seen.
The Big Sleep was better. Chinatown was better. The Prisoner was better. even Air Force One was better. in my movie watching opinion.

Yeah, I'm a little skeptical they can build successfully on the original. Glad to see Gosling was cast as the lead, with Ford returning in support, but the first film was a complete story, IMHO. Not sure it needed a follow-up. I probably will see it in the theaters, but I'm going to keep my expectations way low.

Agree. It was a complete story, and never called out for a sequel.
Hollywood is running out of ideas.

Yes it certainly is a long movie. For a Sci Fi film there is plenty of drama.

agree..all the talent is in TV these days. amazing shows being made on regular basis since sopranos started that's making hollywood redundant except for big budget comic book spectacles and the occasional spy movie genre films.

"You will be required to do wrong no matter where you go. It is the basic condition of life, to be required to violate your own identity. At some time, every creature which lives must do so. It is the ultimate shadow, the defeat of creation; this is the curse at work, the curse that feeds on all life. Everywhere in the universe."
